Description
San Francisco: Arion Press, 2004. Hardcover. Fine. Hardcover. Number 283 of 300 numbered copies for sale with 26 lettered copies hors de commerce. Signed by the translator and the illustrator on the colophon. In the prospectus, the Arion Press publisher, Andrew Hoyem, describes how he came to select Tartuffe to be published by his press. He wrote to the noted poet and translator, Richard Wilbur, to ask him whether the press could use his translation of this play. Wilbur wrote a newly revised introduction for this edition. Richard Wilbur (1921 - 2017)was an American poet and literary translator. One of the foremost poets of his generation, Wilbur's work, often employing rhyme, and composed primarily in traditional forms, was marked by its wit, charm, and gentlemanly elegance. Horem ran into William Hamilton at a party in Napa and thought that he might be an unusual but apt choice to do the illustrations. Hamilton (1939 - 2916) was an American cartoonist and playwright. He was most closely associated with the magazine The New Yorker. His drawing style was instantly recognizable and inimitable. Wikipedia] Bound in a burgundy moiré satin and stamped in gold with titling on the front cover and spine. Printed in Van Dijck type on Arches French mouldmade paper. With a protective acetate cover. Accompanied by the prospectus that unfolds to reveal a sample page of text and a Hamilton cartoon. In fine condition. Measures 11 x 14 7/8 inches. 120 pages. PRI/112224.

Description
S.-Peterburg (St. Petersburg): Tipografiia A. A. Porokhovshchikova, 1897. Hardcover. Third edition; 8 x 5 1/2; pp. [3], 4-546, [2]; rebound in green cloth over boards; gilt title in English to spine; a few small rubbed spots to cloth along spine; previous owner's name to first blank leaf; faint remnants of an erased, penciled note to title page; very good condition. Originally published in 1885, "David Ricardo and Karl Marx and their Socioeconomic Researches" was an expanded version of Nikolai Ziber's (1844 - 1888) dissertation on Marx and Ricardo, which he had written in the 1870s. In it, he expounded with approval Marx's basic economic theory and the work would meet with a favorable reception from Marx himself. A forerunner of the Legal Marxists of the 1890s, Nikolai Ziber's ideas on transitioning from a developed Capitalist economy to Socialism would be instrumental in propagating Marx's economic theories in the Russian intellectual circles. With his interpretation of Marxism differing completely from that of the early Narodniks, Ziber would lay the groundwork for the "traditional" Marxism of Lenin and his circle.
