Product Details

Complete four-volume Russian-language set of the collected works of Mikhail Lermontov, published in Moscow in 1964 by Khudozhestvennaya Literatura (Художественная литература). The set brings together the works of Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841), one of the major figures of 19th-century Russian literature. Across the four volumes are his poetry, narrative poems, prose, and other writings, presenting a substantial collection of his literary work in the original Russian. Volume I is titled Poems (Стихотворения), while Volume II contains poems and verse narratives (Поэмы и повести в стихах). The volumes feature matching red bindings with decorative horizontal tooling and gilt/black spine lettering. An illustrated portrait of Lermontov is also present. Condition: Vintage hardcover set with visible age and shelf wear. The red bindings show rubbing, particularly along the spine ends, edges, and corners. Page edges have age-related toning, and the interiors show expected aging consistent with a 1964 publication. Please review all photographs closely for the exact condition and contents of the set. A handsome matching four-volume Soviet-era edition of Lermontov’s collected works, particularly appealing as a Russian-language literary set and for its uniform mid-century bindings. Your books will be carefully packaged to ensure they arrive safely. Please review all photographs, as they are considered part of the description.
