Edité par (Moscow): Posrednik, (1912). First separate edition? In original pictorial wrappers, printed in red and black, a half-tone photograph of Tolstoy on the front wrapper, 131 pages, two leaves of ads. Entirely in Cyrillic. Published posthumously. Harold Bloom, in "The Western Canon", 1995, said of "Hadji Murat": "[it is] my personal touchstone for the sublime of prose fiction, to me the best story in the world". Not in "The Kilgour Collection of Russian Literature" (Harvard University Press, 1959). This may be the first separate Russian edition; perhaps more likely it is an early reprint.

(Moscow): Posrednik, (1912). First separate edition? In original pictorial wrappers, printed in red and black, a half-tone photograph of Tolstoy on the front wrapper, 131 pages, two leaves of ads. Entirely in Cyrillic. Published posthumously. Harold Bloom, in "The Western Canon", 1995, said of "Hadji Murat": "[it is] my personal touchstone for the sublime of prose fiction, to me the best story in the world". Not in "The Kilgour Collection of Russian Literature" (Harvard University Press, 1959). This may be the first separate Russian edition; perhaps more likely it is an early reprint. From the preface of the (Bayard L.) Kilgour (Jr.) Collection: "Unless otherwise specified, the books in this catalogue are presumed to be first editions. However, this is not always an easy matter to determine. The Russian bibliographies are often vague on this point or do not include any mention of the author or book involved. We have frequently consulted various members of the Harvard Slavic Department and are indebted to them for aid in this and other matters. It will, however, not greatly surprise the compilers if in some instances the editions here described shall be demonstrated not to be the earliest." Kilgour 1205 Volume III of "Tolstoi's Posthumous Works" (1912) is thought to contain the first appearance of "Hadji Murat", published by Tolstoi's daughter. The present copy has printed in Cyrillic on the front cover: "Posthumous Works.No. 1090". Kilgour 1207 (St. Petersburg, Golike & Vil'borg, 1912, "With drawings by the artist A.P. Safonov") is described as "the first separate edition with illustrations". The present copy is not complete because it was censored by the Russian government. From Edward Garnett in "Tolstoy, His Life and Writings", 1914: "the novel Hadji-Murat is of the first importance for the sparkling artistic contrast drawn between the life of the Caucasian mountaineers and Russian civilized officers, and its merciless sardonic portrait of the autocrat Nicholas I." The first complete (uncensored) separate edition was published in Berlin in 1912. The first complete edition published in Russia was in 1917. The spine has been reinforced with a narrow strip of cloth; someone has written something in ink and in Cyrillic on the front wrapper; wrappers a little soiled and softened by handling; some leaves with light creases. A Very Good copy.
