First edition in English of this classic work. Octavo, original cloth lettered in gilt, patterned endpapers. Translated from the Russian by Nathan Haskell Dole with a preface by him. In near fine condition with light rubbing to the extremities. A very sharp example. Leo Tolstoy is best known for War and Peace and Anna Karenina, commonly regarded as amongst the greatest novels ever written. He also, however, wrote many masterly short stories, and this volume contains four of the longest and best in distinguished translations that have stood the test of time. In the early story 'Family Happiness', Tolstoy explores courtship and marriage from the point of view of a young wife. In 'The Kreutzer Sonata' he gives us a terrifying study of marital breakdown, in 'The Devil' a powerful depiction of the power of sexual temptation, and, in perhaps the finest of all, 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich', he portrays the long agony of a man gradually coming to terms with his own mortality.

First thus. viii, 376, [16] pp. Bound in publisher's navy cloth gilt stamping. Near Fine, tips lightly worn, foxing to edges, gift bookplate on paste down, a few marginal pencil marks. An attractive copy. Leo Tolstoy's major statement of his philosophy of anarchist nonviolence, rooted in the Gospel of Luke. Line, Ettlinger, and Gladstone cite this translation as closely following the Constance Garnett translation in time in their Bibliography of Russian Literature in English Translation to 1945. Both translations were in production simultaneously according to Galeena Alekseeva (see her essay in Volume 2 Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer), with feuding publishers. Tolstoy, ever the anarchist, had rejected assuming a copyright for the work before either translation was published. This work would immensely influence Gandhi and civil rights movement strategist James Bevel.

First editions in English of Tolstoy's masterpiece; one of the most important novels in world literature and widely considered the greatest novel ever written. Small octavo, six volumes, bound in contemporary three quarters morocco over marbled boards with gilt titles to the spine. Translated into French by 'A Russian lady' and from the French by Clara Bell. In near fine condition with light wear to the extremities. An excellent set of Tolstoy's masterpiece. Widely considered the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is at once an epic of the Napoleonic Wars, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the human spirit. Tolstoy's genius is seen clearly in the multitude of characters in this massive chronicleall of them fully realized and equally memorable. Out of this complex narrative emerges a profound examination of the individual's place in the historical process, one that makes it clear why Thomas Mann praised Tolstoy for his Homeric powers and placed War and Peace in the same category as the Iliad: "To read him . . . is to find one's way home . . . to everything within us that is fundamental and sane." "There remains the greatest of all novelists--for what else can we call the author of War and Peace" (Virginia Woolf).

Erstausgabe
First edition in Russian of Tolstoy's masterpiece. Octavo, 3 volumes, bound in three quarters calf, gilt titles, raised bands. Housed in a custom box. In near fine condition. First editions in Russian are rare. Vladimir Nabokov called Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina "one of the greatest love stories in world literature." Matthew Arnold claimed it was not so much a work of art as "a piece of life." Set in imperial Russia, Anna Karenina is a rich and complex meditation on passionate love and disastrous infidelity. First published in book form in Moscow in 1878. Upon first reading it, Dostoyevsky wrote: âAnna Karenina is sheer perfection as a work of art. No European work of fiction of our present day comes anywhere near it.â.
