Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

First printing of the first complete and uncensored edition, published in the UK by Jonathan Cape in 1970. Translated by David Floyd. The novel was originally published in a heavily censored form in "Yunost" magazine (Moscow, 1966). ***Very good in brown cloth-covered boards with gilt block titles to the spine. The boards are still beautifully bright, clean and unmarked. No bumps. No creases. Corners sharp. Page block edges foxed. Top edge stained red by the publisher - lightly faded. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally near fine, with no inscriptions. Clean pages without any of the usual foxing. No creases or tears. With illustrated endpapers showing maps of Kiev and surrounding district in Russian and English. ***In a very good printed dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed dual price of 48s / £2.40 net. The dustwrapper is complete, with just minimal rubbing and light creasing at the edges - mainly at the head and tail of the spine and corner tips. No serious creasing. No chips or tears. Spine of dustwrapper very clean and unfaded. Back panel of dustwrapper nice and clean. ***205mm x 140mm. 478 pages. ***'Anatoly Vasilievich Kuznetsov (18 August 1929, Kiev, USSR - 13 June 1979, London) was a Russian-language Soviet writer who described his experiences in German-occupied Kiev during World War II in his internationally acclaimed novel "Babi Yar: A Document in the Form of a Novel". The book was originally published in a censored form in 1966 in the Russian language. The book is a documentary novel about the Nazi occupation of Kyiv and the massacres at Babi Yar. The two-day murder of 33,771 Jewish civilians on 29-30 September 1941, in the Kyiv ravine was one of the largest single mass killings of the Holocaust. Kuznetsov began writing a memoir of his wartime life in a notebook when he was 14. Over the years, he continued working on it, adding documents and eyewitness testimonies. The novel was first published in 1966 in what Kuznetsov would later describe as a censored, form in the Soviet monthly literary magazine Yunost, in the original Russian language. The magazine's copy editors cut the book down by a quarter of its original length and introduced additional politically correct material. In 1969, Kuznetsov defected from the USSR to the UK and managed to smuggle 35-mm photographic film containing the unedited manuscript. The book was published in the West in 1970 under a pseudonym, A. Anatoli. In this edition, the edited Soviet version was put in regular type, the content cut by editors in heavier type, and newly added material was placed in brackets.' (Wiki) ****First printing of the first uncensored edition, and first edition in English, in really nice collectable condition. An uncommon book, especially in this condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
