About This Item
New York: Max. N. Maisel, 1911. First edition; 5 x 7 1/4; pp. [3], 4-159, [1]; bound in black cloth over boards; private paper label to spine; hinges weak; spotting mostly to corners and margins of pages; piece of old tape to index page; overall in good condition.A compilation of Russian "songs of freedom" and revolutionary poems by various authors. Some of the works included are an early printings of Razrushennyi Mol' of Grigorii Gershuni (a Russian revolutionary and a founder of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party) and Maxim Gorky's "Piesnia o Bureviestnikie" (The Song of the Stormy Petrel). Undoubtedly, though, one of the most interesting poems is "Fedorushka" by Tolstoy. In truth, the poem was written by Russian poet Mikhail Rozengeim in 1880 for whose poetry the literary term "liberal accusation" was coined. Apparently, Fedorushka was erroneously attributed to Tolstoy, whom, in fact, did not like the poem and expressed great displeasure with the incorrect attribution.The mistake was most probably made by the publisher - Max N. Maisel, who was a bookseller and publisher on New York's Lower East Side in the late 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. His shop was said to had been frequented by many political and cultural radicals. Only e-book copies of the first edition listed in OCLC.
