For just $110.00 What an amazing find. The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky, 1961 Heritage Press, Lithographs by Fritz Eichenberg. Complete with it's slipcase. Hardback and beautifully designed. Missing the Sandglass. Stay with me on this long description. Subject of the Book itself from Wikipedia: The Brothers Karamazov is a passionate philosophical novel set in 19th-century Russia, that enters deeply into the ethical debates of God, free will, and morality. It is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, judgment, and reason, set against a modernizing Russia, with a plot which revolves around the subject of patricide. Dostoevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which inspired the main setting.[1] Since its publication, it has been acclaimed as one of the supreme achievements in world literature. The Artist, Fritz Eichenberg, is famous in his own right. There is a detailed explanation of his work in the link below. I found an amazing amount of information about this particular copy of this book here: https://georgemacyimagery.wordpress.com/2012/04/22/limited-editions-club-the-brothers-karamazov-by-fyodor-dostoevsky-1933-1961-heritage/ Scroll down and you will find this particular edition. The books condition is excellent. Binding is tight and pages are clean. The 2 top corners have a bit of a smashed look.. nothing of any seriousness. The book looks like it has received little if any use. The slip cover is discolored, has a black marking on it and although it is sturdy, I consider it in only fair condition. *IMPORTANT* Please see all pictures as they are a part of the description.
