DOSTOEVSKY, Fyodor

The Demons [Ispoved' Stavrogina: Stavrogin's Confession]

Moscow: Isdatelistvo Tsentrarchiva R.S.F.S.R., (1922). In the original Russian, this is the very first printing of the still-disturbing suppressed chapter from The Demons, entitled Stavrogin's Confession. This item, beyond scarce, appeared as a special issue of Dokumenty po istorii literatury I obshchestvennosti. Octavo. 77pp. In publisher's original printed wrappers, obviously relatively soiled, but complete, totally attached, and in remarkably presentable condition. Befitting its importance, the item is housed in a splendidly elegant full calf custom clamshell box with gilt ornamentation, leather labels, etc. A true rarity. Item #10026
