About this Item
Small 8vo, pp. 125, [3]; title-page printed in red and black; a very good copy in the original printed wrappers, slightly dusty, minor restoration to spine.First edition, comprising Pasternak's translations of most of the surviving uvre of Nik'oloz Baratashvili, first published in a very rare volume earlier in the year, and here supplemented by new translations of works by Ak'ak'i Tseretili, Vazha Pshavela (pseud. of Luka Razikashvili), and Pasternak's friend Simon Chikovani (pp. 63-122). As Baratashvili's centenary approached in 1945, Simon Chikovani sought out Pasternak to produce commemorative translations; 'They included some of Pasternak's finest work, which became widely read, recited and anthologized' (Barnes, Boris Pasternak: a Literary Biography). Pasternak attended the centenary in October 1945, gave public readings and published an article on Baratashvili. The favourable response inspired these further translations.Tarasenkov, p. 295.
