19096207<p><strong>First edition of the complete translation of Wilde's '<em>The Young King</em>' in book format. First edition of this translation. </strong></p><p>This story was first translated into Russian and published in the magazine '<em>Pravda</em>' in June 1905. It subsequently appeared several times in different collections but in an abridged version most likely because the censorship authorities deemed that the story depicted injustices in the social system and ways to address them which could be potentially dangerous for the regime at that time Roznatovskaia 2000.<br />The translation was prepared by Wilde's foremost translator <strong>Mikhail Likiardopulo</strong> Popandopulo; 1883–1925 a journalist and secretary of the symbolist magazine '<em>Vesy</em>'. Likiardopulo produced fine translations of almost all of Wilde's works. He was acquainted with Alfred Douglas and Robert Ross who allowed him to copy Wilde's '<em>Florentine Tragedy</em>' a fragment of a never-completed play. Likiardopulo was reputedly a spy for Russia Greece and England. In 1919 he emigrated to Great Britain and his translations ceased to be published in Russia.<br />The illustrations and cover design were crafted by Armenian painter and art critic <strong>Vardges Sureniants</strong> 1860–1921. Sureniants studied at the Moscow School of Painting Sculpture and Architecture as well as the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. The illustrations were reproduced by zincography and the title text and headpieces are printed in brown.</p><p>OCLC locates three copies of this edition: in the British Library the Stanford Library and the UCLA Library.</p><p><em><strong>Please be advised that certain books in our collection may require an export permit for international shipping.

In some cases the volumes contain additional matter which had not previously been reprinted while some of the volumes contain matter here published for the first time' Mason p. 459. One volume The Picture of Dorian Gray though entirely uniform with the others was published by Charles Carrington in Paris. Wilde died bankrupt in Paris in 1900; the journalist and gallery owner Robert Baldwin Ross remained loyal to his friend after Wilde's 1895 trial for gross indecency and subsequent prison sentence. 'Before his release from Reading gaol Wilde had appointed Ross his literary executor; but with Wilde's estate bankrupt it was not until 1905 that Ross was able to pay Wilde's creditors and annul the bankruptcy. In 1905 Ross published De Profundis an abridged version of Wilde's tormented prison letter to Lord Alfred Douglas. In 1908 Ross published in fourteen volumes The Collected Works of Oscar Wilde' ODNB. This set is without the seldom-found fifteenth volume For the Love of the King published in 1922 as a supplementary volume to the 1908 Works. Mabel Cosgrove Wodehouse-Pearse Princess Chan-Toon had approached Methuen with letters purportedly by Wilde formerly in the possession of Robert Ross as well as the manuscript of the 'long-lost' play by Wilde; Wilde's bibliographer Christopher Sclater Millard - better known by his pseudonym Stuart Mason - sued Methuen for libel on the grounds that they had knowingly offered for sale as genuine a book which they knew to be a forgery. Wodehouse-Pearse was unable to attend the trial as she was then in prison for defrauding an elderly woman following a stint in a Mexican prison for blackmail.Mason pp. 459-85. hardcover
