Lawrence's name as a co-translator of the titular story. Publisher's green, blue, and yellow pattern over white paper boards with white printed pap…er label to front. Printed paper label to spine. Very light rubbing to front board. Mild shelf wear to board edges. Toning and mild chipping to spine label. Some foxing to endpapers. Edges trimmed. Text clean throughout. A very good copy. First edition. Ivan Bunin (1870-1953) was a Russian poet, novelist, noted prose stylist, and the first Russian awarded the Nobel prize for literature (1933). Born to nobility in the Russian provinces, Bunin frequented RussiaÕs metropoles as a young man, first becoming associated with the Symbolist movement before gaining greater traction as a traditional prose writer in the mode of Chekhov and Tolstoy. Bunin broke with many of his contemporaries after the Russian Revolution, regarding the Bolsheviks as base. He spent the rest of his life living in exile, eventually settling in France, where his fame grew throughout the Western world as a prominent Russian migr writer. During WWII, Bunin resisted contact with the Nazis and hid Jews in his country villa. After the war's end, he was invited by the USSR to return to Russia, an offer he refused. TThe present work contains four stories by Bunin: the eponymous story; "Gentle Breathing"; "Kasimir Stanislavovitch"; and "Son." All four of the stories were co-translated by the Woolfs' longtime Russian collaborator, by Samuel Koteliansky — with the first story sharing a translation credit with D.H. Lawrence, and the subsequent stories, Leonard Woolf. Regardless of the translation's quality (Koteliansky's facility with English was dubious, as was the Woolfs' Russian) the present work constitutes a fascinating web of early twentieth century transcontinental collaboration.

[6 - including half-title], 86 pages, plus [2] pages ads. No errata slip present. Original publisher's decorative paper-covered boards with printed paper spine and cover label…s. 18 x 12 cm. The spine label is sunned and slightly chipped with no impact on lettering; light wear to spine ends and a tiny tear to the head of the spine. The endpapers are slightly tanned; the text block shows mild, uniform toning. Still, a very good copy of a fragile volume. Bookseller's ticket of The Holliday Bookshop, New York (10 W. 47th St.), on the rear pastedown. PROVENANCE: This copy from the library of Irma Liebmann Harris (1885-1969), with her engraved bookplate on the front pastedown. [Harris was a member of a prominent Jewish family from Atlanta, Georgia, and a leading figure in the city's social and cultural life. She was the daughter of Isaac Liebman, founder and president of the Atlanta Paper Company (18861924). In 1908, she married Arthur Israel Harris (18811963), who succeeded Liebman as president of the company (19241946) and later served as chairman (19471957). The firm pioneered wet-strength packaging vital to the U.S. military during World War II and secured major contracts with Coca-Cola and other beverage companies. Irma Harris was a civic leader, serving with the Girl Scouts, the Atlanta USO during World War II, Travelers Aid, the Atlanta Council of Jewish Women, and as founder and president of the Peachtree Garden Club. An avid art and book collector, she read extensively in French and German. Her bookplate is signed in the plate "K. Merrill," likely the work of the American painter and etcher Katherine Merrill (18761962).] FIRST EDITION. Some copies are found with an errata slip tipped-in before the title page that states, "The first story in this book, 'The Gentleman from San Francisco,' is translated by D.H. Lawrence and S.S. Koteliansky. Owing to a mistake, Mr. Lawrence's name has been omitted from the title-page. The three other stories are translated by S.S. Koteliansky and Leonard Woolf." The title story was first printed in 1915 in the Russian anthology, "Provo." It is set on the island of Capri, where the author lived the last few winters before the start of the First World War. Ivan Bunin later became the first Russian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (1933). Woolmer, "A Checklist of the Hogarth Press, 1917-1946," 19. Roberts, "A Bibliography of D.H. Lawrence," B9.
