FIRST ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDITION OF 1935. NO DUST JACKET.
BOARDS HAVE TONING, EDGE WEAR AND BUMPED CORNERS.
END PAPERS/PASTE DOWNS HAVE DARKENED SIGNIFICANTLY DUE TO AGE. (PHOTO 6)
PAGES HAVE AGE RELATED PAPER TONING BUT FAR LESS THAN THE END PAPERS. EXPOSED PAGE EDGES ARE SOILED/DUSTY, DARKENED.
THERE IS ONE PAIR OF LEAVES (397 & 399) THAT WERE SLOPPILY SEPARATED. (PHOTO 5)
THERE IS AN UPPER CORNER BUMP THAT AFFECTS 2/3 OF THE BOOK. (PHOTO 4- taken without flash so that you can see the bump)
I FOUND NO WRITING AND NO INTENTIONAL CREASING. NO TEARS NOTED OTHER THAN THE IMPROPERLY SEPARATED LEAVES MENTIONED. CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY A VERY GOOD MINUS. Generally far nicer than the other 1935 printings you will find. This is the first part of a two part novel that took the author 28 years to complete. The second title was Harvest on the Don and was published in 1960.
Sholokhov was awarded The Nobel Prize in Literature in 1965.
