A rare early Soviet edition of Aristophanes' political satire The Knights, published in 1923 by the prestigious private publishing house of M. and S. Sabashnikov. This volume, part of the "Monuments of World Literature" series, features a translation and scholarly apparatus by the noted philologist and translator A. Piotrovsky. Released during the New Economic Policy (NEP) period, this book exemplifies the brief flourishing of high-quality literary publishing and engagement with classical antiquity in the early years of the Soviet state.
