A posthumous first collected edition of the works of Count Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy (1817–1875), a major Russian poet, playwright, and novelist. Published in 1897 under the editorship of his friend and literary executor, Prince Dmitry Tsertelev, this four-volume set was the definitive edition of his works at the time. The presented copy is incomplete (lacking Volume 4) and has a distinctive binding history: Volumes 1 and 2 were later bound together into a single book, a common practice for conserving damaged or frequently used volumes. Printed by the prestigious Stasiulevich press, this edition is a significant monument of late 19th-century Russian literary publishing.
