[i] = Dedication page (to Anna Freud) + TP + half title + 3-259 + [260] = Inhalt + [261-264] = publisher's advertisements, Octavo. First Edition.A Novel of Pre-Revolutionary Sentiment in Russia in Original WrapsDedicated to Anna Freud, Rodinka is a slightly fictionalized novel detailing Salomé's own accounts of adolescence and adulthood in Russia. In the first half, she is a German girl growing up with her family in Petersburg, surrounded by brothers. In the second half, the main character grows up and returns to Russia as a lover, observer, and critic. Although there is a delineable plot to the book, it is more like a gathering of places, atmospheres, characters, conflicts, fates, and ideas that have been loosely gathered into a novel. It is almost as if it was written for her own pleasure; a reminiscence of old friends and an homage to her heritage.Unlike any of Salomé's other works, Rodinka focuses on politics and power, praising the progressive Russian youth who sought to defy Russia's traditionalist leaders. This novel also elaborates on the strength of women, who were widely repressed in Russia during the time of its publication. An amazingly well-preserved copy of this lovely book the original publisher's printed wrap. A truly gorgeous copy of this fascinating and unique work by Salomé.
