[PUSHKIN, Alexander (1799-1837).] 'Boris Godunov'. [In:] Nevsky Al’manakh na 1828 god. [Nevsky Almanac for the year 1828.] St Petersburg: Department of National Education, 1828. The first appearance in print of Pushkin’s Boris Godunov , in one excerpt. Edited by the writer I.V. Alad’in, the Nevsky was ‘one of the most long-lived Russian almanacs’, the first nine issues of which, from 1825 to 1833, ‘earned a remarkable place in literary history’ (Smirnov-Sokol’skii). In it appeared for the first time in print excerpts from Pushkin’s Evgenij Onegin , Bakhchisarajskij fontan and, in this issue, Boris Godunov , which told the story of a powerful 16th-century boyar turned Tsar. RBH records no other copies being offered at auction. Smirnov-Sokol’skii, Al’manakhi , 295; not in Moia biblioteka . 16mo (130 x 94mm). (Lacking the engraved frontispiece and two plates, slight browning, one blank corner torn, couple of marginal tears, first few leaves thumbed, a little dampstaining or foxing.) 19th-century Russian half straight-grained morocco, marbled boards, spine gilt and lettered (boards, hinges and extremities rubbed, spine sunned).
