The first and unknown translation of Isaac Asimov into Soviet SamizdatBiblio.com

UNKNOWN TRANSLATION OF ASIMOV IN SOVIET SAMIZDAT ROBOTS AND EMPIRE

1986rif. 168Isaac Asimov - born in Soviet Russia in 1920 in the Smolensk region in a Jewish family. World famous science fiction writer author of about 500 works mostly fiction and popular science. Some terms from his works - robotics positronic psychohistory - have entered English and other languages. He is a multiple winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards. In the Anglo-American literary tradition Isaac Asimov together with Arthur C. Clarke and Robert Heinlein is considered to be one of the 'Big Three' science fiction writers. He was a very popular author in the Soviet Union. Perhaps the first work by Isaac Asimov published in the Soviet Union was the 1958 short story The Feeling of Power published translated by Zinaide Bobyr in two magazines at once: Nauka i Zhizn #11 and Iskatel in #6 of 1962. In 1964 for the first time in the USSR Isaac Asimov's solo collection a series of short stories I Robot translated by Alexey Jordan where the world-famous Three Laws of Robotics were formulated was published. In the 1960s Asimov was published extensively in Soviet journals. In 1966 the Library of Modern Fiction series published Isaac Asimov's novel The End of Eternity translated by Yuri Estrin. In the 1970s-80s other works by Asimov were published in magazines and in separate editions. However the Soviet publishing system was rather slow with each publication requiring a separate authorisation. Fiction fans could not wait for literary officials to make a decision to publish another work. Therefore underground translations of Western authors published in samizdat in typewritten copies and distributed privately began as early as the 1960s. This process became particularly active in the late 1970s and early 1980s when new copying technology became available. Translations were often unnamed for reasons of translator safety. Hundreds of works of Western fiction were translated in a short period of time. Then when in the late 1980s and early 1990s it became possible to print books of this kind in official printing houses some of the samizdat translations were printed. However not all of them! Therefore in the bibliography of Asimov's translations into Russian the first translation of 'Robots and Empire' is listed only in 2003! Thus the samizdat translation went unnoticed and is not listed anywhere. It survived in a small number of copies which did not end up in libraries and on the shelves of collectors. The translation is a photocopy from a typewritten copy 435 pages of text. In good condition. Rarity. Not available in libraries worldwide. Samizdat

Homer; translated by Pope, Alexander; Greek text edited by Powell, Barry B Powell; English translation edited by Shurtleff, StevBiblio.com

The Iliad and The Odyssey two volumes

2009rif. 727Chestertown Md: Chester River Press 2009. First thus. Hardcover. New/New. Lawrence Avery. New still in publisher's shrink-wrap. This scarce two-volume set of "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey" a 2009 first edition/first printing is the very definition of a "fine edition" and it might be the very definition of "luxury item" as well. It was published by Chester River Press a firm that specializes in bespoke books that are designed in cooperation with the individual commissioning a publication. In this case that anonymous individual went all out with separate hardcover folio copies for each text with the original Homeric Greek edited by Barry B. Powell Professor of Classics Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in parallel columns with the great Alexander Pope translation. Steven Shankman Professor Emeritus at the University of Oregon and UNESCO Chair in Transcultural Studies Interreligious Dialogue and Peace wrote a two-part introduction that tells the reader first about Homer then about Pope. It may be the illustrations that make these volumes especially distinguished however. Most of the approximately 55 original prints produced by Avery Lawrence are in the form of full-page recreations of red-and-black Greek pottery that illustrate the stories being told.if "recreations" is the right word for images that follow the exacting artistic forms but still spring from Lawrence's imagination. The facing captions provide the applicable quotes for the action being depicted but also the date and even the artist or collector of the vessel used as a prototype. The print is dignified and sized to be easy to read and the paper is sturdy without being overly thick in a cream color that is gentle on the eyes. They are bound in identical black Dutch cloth with differences in their decoration and obviously their lettering but following the same format. "The Iliad" has an ancient Greek plumed helmet in profile stamped in gold on its front cover. A smaller copy of that helmet is at the top of the spine with the publisher's name at the bottom. The title in large Greek letters is between. All are stamped in bright gold. "The Odyssey" is similar in appearance. Instead of a helmet its cover is decorated with an ancient Greek ship and the title is again in Greek lettering. Unlike many books that come in slipcases these volumes have dustjackets made of sturdy glossy black paper. The spines of the dustjackets match the spines of the binding of the volumes only with orange printing instead of gold but the covers are quite different from the covers of the volume bindings. Here the Greek titles are printed in large orange letters with the titles repeated in smaller orange letters beneath along with Homer's and Alexander Pope's names. Shankman's and Lawrence's names are beneath those even smaller again in orange. We have described the text block to some extent above but we did not mention that each volume has a bright gilt top edge and comes with double black and gold satin ribbon bookmarks. The two volumes share a single slipcase and in this case even that slipcase is extraordinary - black sturdy with an attached broad satin ribbon that is serves as a booklift to help take the volumes out without damage. There are also small blocks built into the bottom of the interior of the slipcase that serve as supports for the text blocks so they don't drag on the binding helpful as the volumes are substantive and large: 15"x13"x1.75" to 2". These books won't be easy to cuddle up with but they will be volumes to be treasured as exemplars of the book arts. That is likely why institutions as far afield as the National Library of New Zealand and as prestigious as the Wren Library at Trinity College Cambridge University have copies. Now you can possess one too. Ours are new and still in shrink wrap as delivered by the publisher. See attached photos. Happy to address any questions. For overseas shipments please consult with us on mailing costs. Postage free with the US. Chester River Press hardcover
