Moscow: Molodaya Gvardia, 1964. First Russian Book Edition. 351,[1] pp., with several in-text illustrations. Cloth-backed pictorial paper over boards. Early Russian ink inscription and inkstamp on rear pastedown. A few small scribbles in blue ink on covers and ink stains on cloth. Edges of boards lightly worn, front hinge cracked. Contents lightly toned, but surprisingly fresh for the quality of the paper. A good copy. The pirated first Russian book edition, after a 1963 appearance in the periodical INOSTRANAYA LITERATURA ("Foreign Literature") and a 1964 special separate issue of ROMAN-GAZETA ("Novel as Newspaper").

One of 300 copies of rare signed edition of Martyn Zadeka by influential exiled Russian writer Alexey Remizov - inscribed to his patroness Barbara Church, widow of Henry Church. Remizov was a symbolist-modernist writer who was a surrealist "avant la lettre." He was much admired by luminaries of the Parisian literary world including the editor of the Nouvelle Revue Française French Academicien Jean Paulhan and James Joyce. His works failed to find a publisher from 1931 to 1952. In 1953, devotees of his works founded a small publishing house so that his writings could see the light of day. A number of works were published between 1952 and 1957 in limited numbers. "It has been largely overlooked that the textual emancipation of dreams is a process that began much earlier than the surrealist "revolution" of the 1920s. A key figure in this respect is the Russian writer Aleksei Remizov, whose first dream recordings antedate the surrealists by two decades. The goal of this article will be to determine the… Read More
