A propos de cet article

ZAMYATIN, Yevgeny. Мы [We]. New York: Chekhov Publishing House, 1952. First complete edition in Russian. Original publisher’s wrappers, printed in blue. Before Orwell’s Big Brother, Zamyatin imagined the One State: a world of glass houses, numbered citizens and compulsory happiness, where private thought becomes an act of rebellion. Written in the early 1920s, We was refused publication by Soviet censors. It first appeared in English translation in 1924, followed by an abridged Russian version in Prague in 1927. This 1952 New York edition finally brought the complete Russian text into print, fifteen years after Zamyatin’s death. The novel remained banned in the Soviet Union until 1988, when it appeared during glasnost. Read and reviewed by George Orwell in 1946, We helped shape Nineteen Eighty-Four and established a defining model for modern dystopian fiction. This scarce edition is also a significant example of Russian émigré publishing, which preserved and circulated literature denied publication in its homeland. From the library of Martin Nicholson CMG (1937-2025), British diplomat, Kremlinologist and adviser to Margaret Thatcher on Soviet affairs. Nicholson served at the British Embassy in Moscow and spent decades interpreting the Soviet leadership for the British government. Евгений Замятин - Мы, 1952 - Первое полное русское издание, из библиотеки Мартина Николсона Нью-Йорк: Издательство имени Чехова, 1952. Первое полное издание романа на русском языке, в оригинальной издательской обложке. Одна из основополагающих антиутопий XX века, оказавшая влияние на «1984» Джорджа Оруэлла. Написанный в начале 1920-х годов и запрещённый советской цензурой роман впервые вышел на английском языке в 1924 году. Полный русский текст был опубликован только в 1952 году в Нью-Йорке; в СССР роман появился лишь в 1988 году, в период гласности. Редкое эмигрантское издание из библиотеки Мартина Николсона (1937-2025), британского дипломата, кремленолога и советника Маргарет Тэтчер по советским вопросам. Это происхождение придаёт экземпляру особый интерес в контексте истории СССР и холодной войны.…

Description de la boutique

Arch Books is a specialist rare book business based in Richmond, London, dealing in first editions, fine bindings, travel and exploration books, illustrated books, military history, historical documents, and antique prints. We help private collectors, interior designers, gift buyers, and institutions source distinctive works on paper, with particular emphasis on condition, provenance, bibliographic accuracy, and presentation. Founded in 2020 by Guy Nathan, his own interest in collecting works on paper began in 2005, following a visit to the Grosvenor House Art & Antiques Fair with his grandmother, Pauline Willes, herself a passionate collector. That experience ignited a lifelong fascination with historical documents, art, scientific illustration, military ephemera and literature. For someone with a deep interest in history, collecting offered a particularly tangible way to understand the past - not simply through the events themselves, but through the objects, images and words by which they were recorded and experienced at the time. Whether a scientific drawing, a piece of military ephemera or a work of literature, each provides its own direct connection to a particular moment in history. The thrill of holding a first edition of Shackleton’s South, for instance, lies in that sense of immediacy: experiencing the book much as its first readers did in 1919, and encountering his extraordinary story through the same pages that introduced it to the world.
