Pasternak, Boris. Selected Translations (Izbrannye perevody) / Artist: L. Epple.
Moscow: Soviet Writer (Sovetskii pisatel), 1940.
198, [2] pp. Publisher’s cloth hardcover with embossed design, 20 × 14 cm. Print run: 10,000 copies. Lifetime edition.
This 1940 collection of "Selected Translations" is a rare lifetime edition of Boris Pasternak (1890–1960), one of the most significant figures in 20th-century world literature and the future 1958 Nobel Prize laureate. During the 1930s and early 1940s, when political censorship in the Soviet Union stifled his original poetry, Pasternak turned to translation as a vital creative sanctuary. This volume showcases his extraordinary ability to "re-create" foreign verse in Russian, featuring his celebrated renderings of Shakespeare, Kleist, Becher, and Georgian poets. The book is enhanced by the elegant design of Lev Epple (1900–1964), a master of Soviet book graphics known for his sophisticated typography and binding designs. As a pre-war publication released just as Pasternak was beginning his legendary work on "Hamlet," this volume is a cornerstone for any collection of Russian poetry, Pasternakiana, or the art of literary translation.
