First Edition of Boris Pasternak's Safe Conduct

First edition of this classic work. Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece of Pasternak. Review copy, with the slip laid in, fine in a near fine dust jacket. Translated by Alec Brown. Five Lyric Poems Translated by Lydia Pasternak-Slater.

Written when he was forty, Safe Conduct puzzled many readers in Russia and when it appeared in English, because its isolated sharp impressions and juxtapositions seem to deny chronology, but at least one critic recognized it as "the most original of autobiographies, employing a new technique of great important."
