Jisc also just for 4 vol. (incl. The last of the Mohicans, but without The Deerslayer) - The illustrations are probably based on watercolors or ink brush drawings by Frank T. [Thayer] Merrill (Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts 1848-1936 ibid.). "Early in his career he worked on the comic newspaper-magazine Punchinello [.]. Merrill's commission as principal illustrator for The Prince and the Pauper marked the beginning of an impressive career as illustrator" (Images of America, in: Potsdam Public Museum [NY], 2004, p. 383; cf. horatioalgersociety net/newsboys/newsboys2010-2019/nb10-6corrected.pdf). -- The "Leatherstocking Tales present a saga of 18th-century life among Native Americans and white pioneers on the New York State frontier. The novels feature Natty Bumppo, the ideal North American frontiersman, variously known as Leatherstocking, Hawkeye, the Deerslayer, and the Pathfinder. The books cover his entire adult life, from young manhood to old age, though they were not written or published in chronological order. The individual novels are The Pioneers (1823), The Last of the Mohicans (1826), The Prairie (1827), The Pathfinder (1840), and The Deerslayer (1841)" (kids.britannica com) - Cf. jfcoopersociety org : 1. 1823 The Pioneers, or, The Sources of the Susquehanna (the fourth of the five Tales in relation to plot, the first in order of composition [4/1]): 1793-94: Early life in Cooperstown (Templeton); Bumppo's first appearance; first American frontier and environmental novel (ibid: Checklist of Cooper's Works). Bumppo, "An illiterate white man, he was adopted in youth by the Delawares and becomes sworn 'brother' of Chingachgook. An unselfish man, he spends his life in service to others" (ibid., Characters in the Fiction; cf. mohicanpress com/mo06058: 'known by his Indian name of Hawkeye', cf. -mo06032) - 2. 1827 The Prairie (5/3): "we find Hawkeye removed to the uncharted territory which would become Wyoming and the Dakotas. [.] Leatherstocking is now in his eighties and has isolated himself in the land of the Pawnee, the Sioux and countless herds of buffalo. [.] The Prairie brings the old hunter full circle with images of his youth and reminiscences of the remarkable life" (mo06058) - 3. 1840 The Pathfinder, or, The Inland Sea (3/4): "devoted to a love story for Hawkeye. Cooper, fascinated with the use of ships to wage war on the Great Lakes, moves the scene of the action to Fort Oswego, Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River" (etc.; mo06058) - 4. 1841 The Deerslayer, or, The First Warpath (1/5): "takes place on Otsego Lake, the current site of Cooperstown, New York.

First edition in English of Tolstoy's masterpiece with all the points of first issue: sheets bulk to 35 mm, floral patterned endpapers, "13 Astor Place" on title page, no front adverts, and 5 pp. of rear adverts not listing Russian titles. Octavo, original cloth, with gilt titles and tooling to the spine and front panel, patterned endpapers. Introduction and translated by Nathan Haskell Dole.ÂIn very good condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box made by the Harcourt Bindery. Vladimir Nabokov called Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina "one of the greatest love stories in world literature." Matthew Arnold claimed it was not so much a work of art as "a piece of life." Set in imperial Russia, Anna Karenina is a rich and complex meditation on passionate love and disastrous infidelity. First issued serially in 1873; first published in book form in Moscow in 1878. Upon first reading it, Dostoyevsky wrote: âAnna Karenina is sheer perfection as a work of art. No European work of fiction of our present day comes anywhere near it.â.…
