First Appearance. The extremely scarce first printing of all parts of the most influential Russian novel ever written, Chernyshevsky's magnum opus, which is considered the single most important work of modern revolutionary thought. "[N]o work in modern literature, with the possible exception of Uncle Tom's Cabin, can compete with What Is to Be Done? in its effect on human lives and its power to make history.

Chernyshevsky wrote the story of Vera… Read More

The “B” Tirage of De l’esprit (see below).Smith E.1b. “The history of Helvétius’s De l’esprit, his first major work, is eventful, complicated and paradoxical. No book during the eighteenth century, except perhaps Rousseau’s Émile, evoked such an outcry from the religious and civil authorities or such universal public interest. Condemned as atheistic, materialistic, sacrilegious, immoral and subversive, it enjoyed a remarkable success de scandale. The work lost its privilege within a fortnight of its publication.”The publication history is no less eventful and complicated. There are three distinct “first” editions of the book: called the “A”,… Read More
