Hardback. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. 1921. First edition. 320pp. Constanin Nabokoff (1872-1927) , also known as Konstantin Dmitrievich Nabokov, was a Russian diplomat and author. He served as secretary of the Russian delegation during the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth in 1905, and also worked as counselor of the Russian Embassy in London from December 15, 1915, to January 17, 1917, before advancing to the position of chargé d'affaires. In this memoir, he recounts his experiences at the heart of imperial diplomacy as long-established political structures gave way to revolution, war, and the collapse of old alliances. He blends personal observation with acute political insight, illuminating the misunderstandings, rivalries, and illusions that shaped international relations on the eve of the modern world. The book is bound in the original maroon cloth covered boards with white titling on the spine and front board and a blind-stamped publisher's emblem on the bottom corner of the rear board. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some light soiling to the boards. The spine is slightly faded with a little wear to the titling and the spine ends are bumped. The contents are tight and clean with some foxing to the half-title page and last page and a little scattered light foxing elsewhere within the book. There is also some foxing on the fore edge of the text block and on a few page this has seeped a little way into the fore margin. The free endpapers are browned and a set of initials with the date 1925 has been written on the top corner of the front free endpaper. There is a small stamp "The Stone House" on the title page.
