Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. 1921. First edition. 320pp. Constanin Nabokoff (1872-1927) , also known as Konstantin Dmitrievich Nabokov, was a Russian diplomat and author. He served as secretary of the Russian delegation during the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth in 1905, and also worked as counselor of the Russian Embassy in London from December 15, 1915, to January 17, 1917, before advancing to the position of chargé d'affaires. In this memoir, he recounts his experiences at the heart of imperial diplomacy as long-established political structures gave way to revolution, war, and the collapse of old alliances. He blends personal observation with acute political insight, illuminating the misunderstandings, rivalries, and illusions that shaped international relations on the eve of the modern world. The book is bound in the original maroon cloth covered boards with white titling on the spine and front board and a blind-stamped publisher's emblem on the bottom corner of the rear board. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some light soiling to the boards. The spine is slightly faded with a little wear to the titling and the spine ends are bumped. The contents are tight and clean with some foxing to the half-title page and last page and a little scattered light foxing elsewhere within the book. There is also some foxing on the fore edge of the text block and on a few page this has seeped a little way into the fore margin. The free endpapers are browned and a set of initials with the date 1925 has been written on the top corner of the front free endpaper. There is a small stamp "The Stone House" on the title page.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dj. First Edition. 292pp. Green cloth boards, titles on spine. Evidence of handling to extremities, darkened spine. Spine remains straight, binding tight, corners solid. Pages toned, but text block is clean and unmarked. Published in England as Camera Obscura. Nabokov was unhappy with the translation for the UK edition, and the results of his own efforts in translating the novel appear here, as Laughter in the Dark. "Albinus, a respectable, middle-aged man and aspiring filmmaker, abandons his wife for a lover half his age: Margot, who wants to become a movie star herself. When Albinus introduces her to Rex, an American movie producer, disaster ensues. What emerges is an elegantly sardonic and irresistibly ironic novel of desire, deceit, and deception, a curious romance set in the film world of Berlin in the 1930s." Size: Octavo. Book.

Nabokov?s first publication in the United States and the first of his translations of his own work. The novel was first published in English two years prior, translated by Winifred Roy for John Long in the UK under the title Camera Obscura (echoing the original Russian title ??????? ????????); it was Nabokov?s dissatisfaction with that translation which spurred his own effort, revising and retitling the text in the process.

FIRST GERMAN EDITION, 8vo, pp. [3]-253, [1]. Original red boards, front board blocked centrally in blind, spine lettered in black. Poor-quality paper a little toned. Spine slightly cocked, some rubbing to extremities. Ownership inscription of W.H. Brawn[?] to flyleaf, dated 1/11/38. The rare boards issue of the first translation of any of Nabokov?s writings, a German version of his first novel, initially published in Russian two years earlier as ???????? (Mashenka) under the name V. Sirin, and here translated by Jakob Margot Schubert and G. Jarcho. Nabokov?s earliest publications were written in Russian while he was (unhappily) living in Berlin and he pointedly neglected to develop any fluency in the German language. The publisher of this edition, Ullstein Verlag, also produced the Russian emigre newspaper Rul, which Nabokov?s father had edited, and the German-language newspaper that serialised this text prior to the book-form publication. The book was published as part of the series of affordable literary texts ?Die gelben Ullstein-Bücher?, which ran from 1927 to 1933, and like its series-mates is normally found in yellow pictorial wrappers. Ullstein was the largest of the Jewish-owned publishers at the time, and was forcibly ?Aryanised? from 1934, the Jewish name Ullstein being removed in 1937 and replaced with ?Deutscher?; at the same time the Ullstein-Bücher series was renamed Uhlen-Bücher, reflecting the company?s owl logo. This boards issue has the owl logo with the later name blocked on the front board, while the title-page retains the Ullstein imprint - suggesting it was probably issued around a decade after being printed (a conjecture the ownership inscription here supports). Mashenka would not be translated into English until 1970, by Nabokov in collaboration with Michael Glenny; a second German translation followed by Klaus Birkenhauer in 1976. This original version is scarce in any binding, with the NLS holding the only copy in Britain recorded in Worldcat. Juliar D8.1, recorded as a ?Gelben Ullstein Bucher?.

Hardcover. Zustand: Gut. Erste deutsche Ausgabe. 253 S. Hervorragend restaurierter keinformatiger Orig.-Leinenband. Nabokovs erster Roman "Maschenka" (russisch 1926), der bereits zahlreiche Motive des Spätwerks aufweist, spielt wie die meisten Romane der frühen Schaffensperiode des Autors in der russischen Emigrantenszene im Berlin der 1920er Jahre. Am 21.3.1928 unterzeichnete Nabokov den Verlagsvertrag, der neben der Buchausgabe auch einen Vorabdruck in der "Vossischen Zeitung" vorsah. Gerade die populäre und preiswerte Erscheinungsweise im Ullsteinverlag macht diese deutsche Erstausgabe mit dem Copyrightvermerk von 1928 heute fast unauffindbar. Die vier bislang im Handel nachweisbaren Exemplare waren zudem sämtlich Orig.-Broschuren in der Reihe der "Gelben Ullstein Bücher", meines Wissens ist dies der erste Nachweis für ein gebundenes Exemplar. Auch das "Deutsche Bücherverzeichnis" von 1932, das als Erscheinungsjahr übrigens - ebenso wie die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek in Leipzig - 1929 angibt, kennt nur die broschierte Ausgabe. Die Restauratorin hat sich bei der Reparatur selbst übertroffen: Der abgeplatzte Rücken des Originals wurde durch farblich passendes Leinen unterfüttert und wieder aufgezogen, so daß der Band dabei unbeschädigt seine originalen weißen Vorsatzpapiere behalten konnte. Insgesamt handelt es sich um ein gut erhaltenes, fleckenfreies Exemplar ohne Einträge und mit nur leichten Gebrauchsspuren.
