First edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1933 first edition of Sergey Sergeev-Tsensky’s biographical novel Michel Lermontov is a significant work of Soviet historical fiction, capturing the life and tragic fate of the great Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov. Published by the Moscow Partnership of Writers (Moskovskoe tovarishchestvo pisateley), the book is part of the early 1930s trend of reassessing the classical literary heritage through the lens of modern prose. Sergeev-Tsensky, a master of epic narrative, focuses on the psychological depth and social isolation of Lermontov during his exile in the Caucasus. The volume is notably enriched by the illustrations of Tatyana Mavrina, a legendary figure in Soviet book art and a member of the \"Group of 13.\" Her dynamic and expressive drawings bring a vivid, slightly avant-garde visual rhythm to the 19th-century setting, making this edition a prized item for collectors of early Soviet book design.\u003cbr\u003eThe text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the romantic hero's conflict with autocratic society, including the arrangement of scenes depicting Lermontov's military service, his literary triumphs, and the fateful duel at the foot of Mount Mashuk. This edition was printed in an enlarged format with a circulation of 10,200 copies. While the original dust jacket is missing in this instance, the solid 1933 hardcover remains an important primary source for studying the development of the Soviet biographical novel and the evolution of Tatyana Mavrina’s early artistic style. It stands as a sophisticated tribute to Lermontov, produced on the eve of the centennial of his death.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963140964394,"sku":"EB-306594915912","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_c871fc09-b823-4e06-a6f4-09ea65ea378c.jpg?v=1768161801","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/sergeev-tsensky-michel-lermontov-1933-%d1%81%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b3%d0%b5%d0%b5%d0%b2-%d1%86%d0%b5%d0%bd%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b8%d0%b9-%d0%bc%d0%b8%d1%88%d0%b5%d0%bb%d1%8c-%d0%bb%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%bc%d0%be%d0%bd%d1%82%d0%be%d0%b2-%d0%bc%d0%b0%d0%b2%d1%80%d0%b8%d0%bd%d0%b0","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
