18826150<p><strong>Very rare edition.</strong></p><p><strong>Benjamin Disraeli</strong> 1804-1881 hailed as one of the founders of the political novel in world literature and often regarded as '<em>the creator of the PR novel or the novel of political technologies'</em> served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice. However he remained obscure regarding in Russia until the 1840s. The first Russian review of Disraeli's works specifically the novels '<em>Coningsby</em>' and '<em>Sybil'</em> appeared in the journal '<em>Otechestvennye Zapiski</em>' in 1845. In 1859 the first Russian translation of his work emerged - an anonymous abridged version of the romance novel '<em>Henrietta Temple</em>' 1837 was published in the journal '<em>Biblioteka dlia Chteniia'</em>.<br />Over time Disraeli began to be perceived by Russian readers and critics not merely as a writer but as a political figure with his works seen as autobiographical material providing insight into the '<em>Disraeli phenomenon'</em>.<br />At the Congress of Berlin in 1878 Disraeli garnered significant acclaim for his role in curbing Russia's influence in the Balkans following the Russo-Turkish War. This event sparked greater interest in Disraeli among Russian critics and readers. In the same year a critical article in '<em>Otechestvennie Zapiski</em>' characterized Disraeli as '<em>a buffoon sometimes very awkward and untimely who continually changes his beliefs depending on the circumstances'</em> also noting his '<em>passionate and systematic antagonism towards Russia'</em>.<br />Furthermore Disraeli's last completed novel '<em>Endymion</em>' 1880 was translated shortly after its original publication. In 1881 five different translations were issued simultaneously: four in Saint Petersburg and one in Moscow. All of these translations were anonymous with one being a shorter version.<br />This particular translation was published as a part of the notable series '<em>Sobranie perevodnykh romanov povestei I rasskazov</em>' '<em>Collected Foreign Novels Novellas and Stories Translated into Russian</em>' by the esteemed female publisher Elizaveta Akhmatova. Unlike other translations this one was republished once in 1882.</p><p>We couldn't trace any copy of this edition in OCLC or in Russian main libraries.</p> E.N. Akhmatova hardcover

A complete three volume set of the first edition of Sybil; or The Two Nations. Very rare to see in the original publishers paper boards. Sybil; or The Two Nations is a novel by Benjamin Disraeli that traces the plight of the working classes of England the novel was meant to create an uproar over the squalor that was plaguing England's working class cities at the time of its publication. The novel is split across the three volumes. Benjamin Disraeli was a politician and served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom .With half titles to volumes one and two as called for and the vanishingly scarce publisher's catalogue to the end of volume one and advertisement leaf to volume three.

182682398London: Henry Colburn 1826-27. First edition of Disraeli's first novel. Octavo original gray boards with printed spine labels 5 volumes half-titles present in Volumes 2 and 5 as issued; terminal ads in Volumes 1-4. Bookplates to each volume in very good condition. Housed in a brown cloth clamshell box. Complete first editions are uncommon especially in the original boards. Originally published anonymously ostensibly by a so-called "man of fashion" part 1 caused a considerable sensation in London society. Contemporary reviewers suspicious of the numerous solecisms contained within the text eventually identified the young Disraeli who did not move in high society as the author. Disraeli continued the tale in a second volume also of 1826 and three subsequent volumes in 1827. The form in which Vivian Grey is published now is the revised 1853 edition which was severely expurgated and according to critic Wendy Burton lost much of the charm and freshness of the 1826 edition. The book is a frequent touchstone for discussions of Disraeli's political and literary career. Vivian Grey is often written about as a cornerstone work of the "fashionable" or "silver fork" school of fiction but it is also the first work in the genre of the political novel as later practiced by Trollope Meredith Eliot Wells and Mrs. Humphrey Ward.
