A propos de cet article

**DOCTOR ZHIVAGO — BORIS PASTERNAK** **First British Edition, Second Impression, September 1958 — Original Dust Jacket — Contemporary Ownership Inscription with Possible Travellers' Club Association** London: Collins and Harvill Press, 1958. First UK edition, second impression, September 1958. Translated from the Russian by Max Hayward and Manya Harari. 510 pages. Octavo. Original publisher's red cloth hardcover with gilt spine lettering, retaining the original illustrated dust jacket designed by John Woodcock. An early printing of the first English-language edition of Boris Pasternak's celebrated novel, issued in the year he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. First published in Italy in 1957 after its rejection for publication in the Soviet Union, *Doctor Zhivago* became one of the defining literary works of the twentieth century. Against the turbulent backdrop of revolution, civil war and Soviet society, Pasternak explores love, personal freedom, artistic expression and the individual's relationship with history. **CONDITION — Very Good book / Fair dust jacket** The original red cloth boards remain clean and bright, with gilt spine lettering. The binding is firm and intact. Contents complete, with pages generally clean, displaying some age-related foxing and light toning. The original illustrated dust jacket is present but price-clipped, with rubbing, creasing, tears and losses, particularly around the upper spine. The jacket remains visually striking and is an important surviving feature of this early printing. **PROVENANCE — CONTEMPORARY INSCRIPTION** An intriguing handwritten ownership inscription appears on the front endpaper, dated 1958. The first line appears possibly to contain the forename "Stewart" or "Stuart", followed by a surname with an elaborate initial, perhaps beginning P or F. The second line appears to read "Travellers' Club", potentially referring to the historic private members' club in Pall Mall, London. The inscription has not been conclusively deciphered, and no connection with a particular club member has been authenticated. It is included as an interesting contemporary ownership detail rather than an established association copy. **BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE** First UK edition, second impression, September 1958. Published in the same year as the first British printing; not the first impression. An appealing early copy of this twentieth-century literary landmark, retaining its original dust jacket and featuring an intriguing contemporary inscription meriting further provenance research. **POSTAGE AND PACKAGING** Carefully and securely packaged and dispatched from Spain. International shipping available to the UK, EU and worldwide. Combined postage available where practical. **WantThatBook Antiquarian Books** From a privately assembled collection built over more than 30 years. Please examine all accompanying photographs as part of the condition description.…
