Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. This is an early edition but very likely not a first edition as firsts are stated with Doubleday. However, 1947 can be seen on the title page and copyright page (SD, NAP). This book came from the collection of the renowned sociologist Daniel Bell. He signed his name on the first front end paper. He also penciled lines in the margins next to paragraphs of interest on at least 30 pages, and he penciled a few brief words next to three referenced pages on the rear end paper. The book is in quite decent shape. The covers are very clean, just a few specks on the rear cover. The edges and corners are in solid shape, the rear bottom corner has a teeny tiny spot of rub-through. The spine ends have a little bit of rubbing and crinkling, the bottom one has a slight bit of fraying. The page edges are quite clean. The top one might have been tinted yellow. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. They did a very good job. The spine has a moderate forward lean, but the book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. No binding issues. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I didn't come upon any soiling. I also didn't find any creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings, stampings. There are no attachments of any kind. And I have already alluded to the signature and parenthetical pencilings of Dr. Bell. The book was written by the then Professor of Russian Literature at Smith College, Helen Muchnic. It was reviewed well. The Contents page references a Preface, Introduction, and the first two chapters: The Beginnings, Part I: Literature of the Folk, and Part II: The Written Tradition; that is followed by individual chapters on Alexander Pushkin, Nikolay Gogol, Ivan Turgenev, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Lev Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov. A 15 page chapter titled Conclusion ends the book.…
