Gogol, Nikolai Vasilyevich

Starosvetskie Pomeshchiki [Старосветские помещики]

Munich-Schleissheim: [1946]. Original pictorial wrappers. Item #332

Dimensions: 15 x 12 cm. 33 pages. Text in Russian. With the military censorship on the first page, "Approved by UNRRA Team 631." The wrappers are soiled, spotted, and worn but still in good condition for a book that was meant to be heavily used.

This book was published by the Russian refugees and printed in a very small run to be distributed in post-war Germany's Displaced Persons (DP) camps. Due to difficult circumstances in those camps, including a lack of resources and military censorship, such publications are a testament to the resilience and determination of the displaced persons community during this challenging time in history.

Price: $150.00
