What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Rebound, Signed Binding, Very Scarce

The very scarce first U.K. edition of this work.

This English translation was published in the same year as the Russian first edition.

In a full cloth binding, bound by J. & E. Bumpus. 

Half-title is present. 

'Master and Man' follows a landowner as he takes one of his peasants on a short journey by sleigh, where they find themselves stuck in a blizzard. 

In typical Tolstoy style, this short story focuses on the personal crises faced by the protagonists, a dark tale about life and death. 

Translated into English by A. Hulme Beaman.

Condition

In a full cloth binding bound by Bumpus. Externally, smart. A few light marks to the boards, heavier to the front boards. Light bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Spine is a little discoloured. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean.

Very Good
