DOSTOEVSKY, Fyodor (1821-1881). Prestuplenie i nakazanie . [Crime and Punishment]. St Petersburg: Bazunov, Prats and Veidenshtraukh, 1867. The first edition of the author's most famous novel, 'the first of the truly great novels of his mature period' (Frank). Crime and Punishment was serialised the previous year in the journal Russkii Vestnik . An epilogue was added at the insistence of the publishers who found the ending unacceptable for a general public. The paper stock used was of poor quality and copies are very seldom found without spotting. Frank, Dostoevsky: The Miraculous Years, 1865-1871 , p.96; Kilgour 280. Two volumes, 12mo (209 x 133mm). (Light spotting throughout, occasional faint marginal dampstaining in vol.2.) Contemporary Russian half leather, spines gilt, marbled boards (rebacked preserving the original spines); preserved in a custom-made case.
