Uncommon in Jacket
In the World
Publication: New York: The Century Co., 1917. First US edition.
Notes: The second volume of Gorky's autobiography. Translated from the Russion by Gertrude M. Foakes.
Gorky was a pioneer of Russian realist prose, and one of the most well-known Russian writers in the West during the early decades of the 20th century. His three-volume autobiography, of which this is the middle work, is an enduring classic.
Edition + Condition: First US edition (states "Published, July, 1917" on copyright page). A very good copy (short tear to cloth at the top of the spine) in a grubby off-white dust jacket, with a few edge tears and chips, and a few tissue repairs on the back (verso). Very uncommon in jacket.
