War and Peace

William S. Gottsberger, New York, 1886 First Editions, First Printings with all the title-pages dated 1886 and with the proper Gottsberger imprint on versos. A magnificent copy bound in the ORIGINAL publisher's brown cloth. Each book is in great shape. The bindings are tight with NO cocking or leaning and the boards are crisp. There is NO writing, marks or bookplates in the book. The books appear UNREAD. Overall, a spectacular set of this First edition in English housed in a custom clamshell slipcase for preservation. We buy Leo Tolstoy First Editions.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine.

First American edition, first printing. Publisher's uniform decorated brown cloth, boards elaborately tooled and ruled in black, front boards lettered in gilt with gilt-stamped Napoleonic and Russian Imperial crests, spines lettered in gilt; brown-coated endpapers, flyleaves. General wear and rubbing particularly to spines and spine ends – more so on the later volumes, occasional light foxing to fore-edges. Large armorial bookplates in all volumes(Ex-Rugby School of Warwickshire, England - birthplace of rugby football). Overall a very good, untouched set. Housed in custom case.********* This American edition was released in two volume increments in three phases – January, May, and August of 1886. Recent scholarship makes a fairly compelling case that the virtually unattainable UK Vizetelly edition(commonly labeled as the first edition in English) was released simultaneously in January, thereby making this set, or at least the first two volumes, equals for first English language appearance. The books were released in both brown cloth and wrappers(complete wrappered sets when encountered, will cost you a healthy multiple of this asking price). While the American market sets are commonly available, ours offers an interesting wrinkle in that it's an export issue. Gottsberger set aside an unknown number of the first printing sets for release in Europe with title pages bearing the imprint of their publishing partners in London, Paris, and Leipzig containing Euro-market aimed advertisements at the rear – far less common than the ubiquitous domestic sets. This is a cool addition to the shelf, whether you're a Tolstoy fan or general high spot collector.******* I first read Tolstoy in my very early 20s. They say you won't understand him until you're 30. And they are right. The magic comes with the proper mix of life pain and acute self-awareness. ******For even better pricing, visit our website at http://annirocbooks.wixsite.com/anniroc**********

Original blue cloth, spines and front covers lettered and decorated in gilt. Some marking to cloth and light rubbing to extremities, staining to terminal advertisements of vol. I, covers of vol. II bowed, vol. IV water-stained. A good set. First translation into English from the original Russian, UK issue, omitting the preface to the US edition but retaining Dole's editorial footnotes. This translation was the work of American editor and translator Nathan Haskell Dole (1852-1935), issued in the same year in the US and UK, with the UK issue published in four volumes and omitting the translator's preface (Walter Scott reissued the work in two volumes in 1897). Two versions of War and Peace in English had been issued prior to Dole's version, both in 1886, but neither was translated directly from the Russian, using instead an intermediary French translation.
