In 16, 4 voll., pp. 411, 398, 357, 372 con una genealogia dei Principi di Brunswick a doppia pagina n.t. Sporadiche bruniture ma nel complesso buon esemplare.ÂM.pg. Importante opera del marchese di Custine (1790-1857) noto soprattutto per i suoi racconti di viaggio. In trentasei lettere l'autore analizza la vita sociale, economica, artisticaÂe politicaÂrussa non risparmiando attacchi alla tirannide zarista a quel tempo incarnata dallo zarÂNicola II. Tuttavia, nonostante le violente critiche, quando l'opera fu tradotta in russo nel 1930, venne definita 'la piu' intelligente che sia stata scritta sulla Russia da uno straniero'. Apparentemente prima edizione purÂdifferenziandosi per il numero delle pagine da altre copie in commercio. ITA.
