19086020<p><strong>First and only edition of this translation. First Russian edition of '<em>De Profundis</em>' as a separate book.</strong></p><p>The first Russian translation of Wilde's '<em>De Profundis'</em> appeared in 1905 which was the same year as the original text. It was translated by Ekaterina Andreeva who happened to be the second spouse of the symbolist poet Konstantin Balmont. A portion of her translation was published in the symbolist magazine '<em>Vesy'</em> #3 and it was followed by the release of a separate book. The following year an anonymous translation was released as the third volume of Wilde's complete works but it was based on Andreeva's translation which was edited for the publication. <br />In 1908 there were two Russian translations of '<em>De Profundis'</em> that came out: this edition and extracts in the magazine 'Vesy' by Wilde's foremost translator the journalist and secretary of 'Vesy' named Mikhail Likiardopulo who had familiarity with Alfred Douglas and Robert Ross separate edition appeared in 1909. <br />It is possible that this translation was done by <strong>Princess Alexandra Obolenskaia</strong> in girlhood Apraksina; 1852–1943 who was a close friend of Her Imperial Majesty the Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia and her children. Obolenskaia maintained a correspondence with Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia and other members of Romanov's family. After the Russian Revolution Obolenskaia left Russia and eventually passed away in Paris. Given the difficulty of obtaining '<em>De Profundis'</em> during that time and the complexity of the text it is unlikely that the translation was made by someone else. <br />It is also known that Obolenskaia prepared two more translations: '<em>The Garden of Allah'</em> 1914 and '<em>Egypt and Its Monuments'</em> 1909 both written by English journalist and novelist Robert Hichens. <br />What's intriguing about '<em>De Profundis'</em> is that the majority of its translations into Russian were done by female translators. These include Andreeva Obolenskaia Maria Simonovich Odessa 1909 and Rita Rait-Kovaleva who worked with her daughter Margarita 1976; first translation from the complete version issued in 1962.</p><p>Roznatovskaia No 490.</p><p><strong>Rare edition.</strong> OCLC locates only one copy of this edition: in the Stanford University Library.</p> Parovaia skoropechatnia M.M.

Ransom p. 211; Tomkinson p. 17. ◆Berneval spine just a bit darkened otherwise FINE UNWORN COPIES that have obviously been little used as they open stiffly and are immaculate inside and out.<br/> <br/> Here "After Berneval" is offered with "After Reading" its earlier companion volume both of them in their deluxe form on Japanese vellum and including an extra suite of the illustrations. "Reading" comprises a set of letters also written to Ross by Wilde during the summer of 1897 after having just been released from two years' imprisonment in Reading Gaol. The preface to its sequel "After Berneval" says that the earlier collection "was unprocurable almost as soon as it was published." The letters in these volumes tell the story of a tragic literary figure who fell from a precipitous height. Oscar Wilde 1854-1900 was born and raised in Ireland studied classics at Trinity College Dublin and at Magdalen College Oxford before settling in London. There he became famous for his unmatched wit and infamous for his personal eccentricities--long hair décor at his lodgings that included peacock feathers and blue china and ultimately sexual behavior that was deemed both intolerable and criminal. During the first half of the 1890s he was enjoying remarkable social prominence and literary success with the staging of "Lady Windermere's Fan" 1892 "A Woman of No Importance" 1893 "An Ideal Husband" 1894 and the incomparable "The Importance of Being Earnest" 1895. But two months after the staging of this last play he brought a defamation suit against the Marquess of Queensbury the father of his intimate friend Lord Alfred Douglas. The suit backfired: in the course of the litigation Wilde was investigated by police and his homosexuality was exposed leaving his reputation destroyed. He was sentenced in May of 1895 to two years of hard labor spending part of his time behind bars at Reading Gaol where he produced his powerful poem "De Profundis." After release he moved to the Continent and died three years later in Paris of meningitis. As Day says "Among English men of letters only Byron and Shaw have surpassed Wilde in the craft of conscious posing and self-publicizing" a fact that has made succeeding generations suspicious of the reality behind the legend that the author helped to establish. But after a period when he was treated as a kind of martyr because of his suffering at the hands of squeamish Victorianism "it is at last possible to evaluate Wilde as the capable literary artist he actually was." In physical terms these are modest but nevertheless pleasing products of the Beaumont Press founded by Cyril W. Beaumont in 1917. A special feature of the Press is its patterned paper bindings each with a design created for one title only. Beaumont Press unknown

19046032<p><strong>Second Russian edition of the poem. First edition of this translation.</strong></p><p>The first translation of Oscar Wilde's '<em>Ballad'</em> by N. Korn presumably a pen name used by Korney Chukovsky appeared in 1903 but it was riddled with errors. The following year another version by <strong>Konstantin Balmont</strong> 1867–1942 a Russian symbolist poet and translator was published. In the summer of 1902 Balmont traveled to England and visited the town of Reading where Wilde had been imprisoned. In November 1903 Balmont delivered a lecture titled '<em>Oscar Wilde's Poetry and The Ballad.'</em> and presented his translation at a meeting of the Literary-Artistic Circle in Moscow. During his lecture he likened Wilde to Nietzsche and hailed him as 'the greatest English writer of the end of the last century'. Balmont also prepared translations of works by Edgar Allan Poe Percy Bysshe Shelley Walt Whitman and Robert Burns. His translations were always infused with his own distinctive style often referred to as 'Balmontic motifs'. <br />The book's cover featuring a portrait of Oscar Wilde was created by <strong>Modest Durnov</strong> 1867–1928 a painter poet architect and a close friend of Balmont. Durnov was known as 'a demon' a 'master of thought' and a 'Moscow Dandy'. According to some accounts he met Wilde during one of his trips to London. <br />This book was once part of the <em>private library of Russian artist <strong>Mikhail Tarkhanov</strong></em> 1888–1962 a renowned master of endpapers and bookbinding. Tarkhanov received his education at the Stroganov School for Technical Drawing which later became VKhUTEMAS under the guidance of Vladimir Favorsky and Wassily Kandinsky.</p><p>OCLC locates two copies of this edition only: in the University Library of Bern and the Rome National Central Library.</p><p><em><strong>Please be advised that certain books in our collection may require an export permit for international shipping.
