Description

Tolstoy’s self-proclaimed masterpiece

Signed Cyrillic book: The Prisoner in the Caucasus. Russia, c. 1892. Paperback, 3.75 x 5, 48 pages. Signed and inscribed in Cyrillic on the front cover “To Lyubochka, L. N. Tolstoy.” At the time of his conversion, Tolstoy renounced all of his previous works as ‘bad art’—including his most famous novels, War and Peace and Anna Karenina—except for The Prisoner in the Caucasus. Just the second signed book we have offered from the revered writer. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
