1913réf. 6026First edition of this translation. First separate Russian edition of Wilde's 'Aphorisms'. The first Russian translation of Wilde's aphorisms was published in 1905 the same year as the original edition. It was prepared by Ekaterina Andreeva the second wife of the symbolist poet Konstantin Balmont. In 1908 Wilde's aphorisms were published in the magazine 'Novyi zhurnal literatury iskusstva I nauki' 'New Journal of Literature Art and Science'; #1–4. The following year they were included in Wilde's 'Collection of Works' vol. 7. Additionally another translation of the aphorisms was issued in the magazine 'Novoe slovo" 'New Word'. This translation was made by a military officer and duke Dmitriy Viazemskii 1884–1917 who was also a vowel of the St. Petersburg City Duma. This was likely Viazemskii's only experience with translation. Unfortunately he met a tragic end when he was killed by a stray bullet during the February Revolution. Roznatovskaia. # 479 mistakenly dated — 1912; described not de visu. Very rare edition. We couldn't trace any copy of this edition in the USA or European libraries via OCLC. [tip. ‘Sirius’] hardcover
1904réf. 6032Second Russian edition of the poem. First edition of this translation. The first translation of Oscar Wilde's 'Ballad' by N. Korn presumably a pen name used by Korney Chukovsky appeared in 1903 but it was riddled with errors. The following year another version by Konstantin Balmont 1867–1942 a Russian symbolist poet and translator was published. In the summer of 1902 Balmont traveled to England and visited the town of Reading where Wilde had been imprisoned. In November 1903 Balmont delivered a lecture titled 'Oscar Wilde's Poetry and The Ballad.' and presented his translation at a meeting of the Literary-Artistic Circle in Moscow. During his lecture he likened Wilde to Nietzsche and hailed him as 'the greatest English writer of the end of the last century'. Balmont also prepared translations of works by Edgar Allan Poe Percy Bysshe Shelley Walt Whitman and Robert Burns. His translations were always infused with his own distinctive style often referred to as 'Balmontic motifs'. The book's cover featuring a portrait of Oscar Wilde was created by Modest Durnov 1867–1928 a painter poet architect and a close friend of Balmont. Durnov was known as 'a demon' a 'master of thought' and a 'Moscow Dandy'. According to some accounts he met Wilde during one of his trips to London. This book was once part of the private library of Russian artist Mikhail Tarkhanov 1888–1962 a renowned master of endpapers and bookbinding. Tarkhanov received his education at the Stroganov School for Technical Drawing which later became VKhUTEMAS under the guidance of Vladimir Favorsky and Wassily Kandinsky.

1908réf. 6020First and only edition of this translation. First Russian edition of 'De Profundis' as a separate book. The first Russian translation of Wilde's 'De Profundis' appeared in 1905 which was the same year as the original text. It was translated by Ekaterina Andreeva who happened to be the second spouse of the symbolist poet Konstantin Balmont. A portion of her translation was published in the symbolist magazine 'Vesy' #3 and it was followed by the release of a separate book. The following year an anonymous translation was released as the third volume of Wilde's complete works but it was based on Andreeva's translation which was edited for the publication. In 1908 there were two Russian translations of 'De Profundis' that came out: this edition and extracts in the magazine 'Vesy' by Wilde's foremost translator the journalist and secretary of 'Vesy' named Mikhail Likiardopulo who had familiarity with Alfred Douglas and Robert Ross separate edition appeared in 1909. It is possible that this translation was done by Princess Alexandra Obolenskaia in girlhood Apraksina; 1852–1943 who was a close friend of Her Imperial Majesty the Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia and her children. Obolenskaia maintained a correspondence with Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia and other members of Romanov's family. After the Russian Revolution Obolenskaia left Russia and eventually passed away in Paris. Given the difficulty of obtaining 'De Profundis' during that time and the complexity of the text it is unlikely that the translation was made by someone else. It is also known that Obolenskaia prepared two more translations: 'The Garden of Allah' 1914 and 'Egypt and Its Monuments' 1909 both written by English journalist and novelist Robert Hichens. What's intriguing about 'De Profundis' is that the majority of its translations into Russian were done by female translators. These include Andreeva Obolenskaia Maria Simonovich Odessa 1909 and Rita Rait-Kovaleva who worked with her daughter Margarita 1976; first translation from the complete version issued in 1962. Roznatovskaia No 490. Rare edition. OCLC locates only one copy of this edition: in the Stanford University Library. Parovaia skoropechatnia M.M. Gutzatsa hardcover
