Third collected edition of the works of Pushkin, complete with the supplement volume compiled by Grigorii Gennadi; this is the first edition to be edited by Isakov. Very rare.
In 1872 the owner of this copy, Alphonse Claeys, published a French translation of Pushkin’s story ‘Demoiselle Paysanne’ (‘Baryshnia krest’ianka’ from the Tales of Belkin, 1831) in Brussels, together with a translation of Aleksandr Druzhinin’s ‘Polinka Saxe’; these translations are still in print.
