PASTERNAK, Boris Leonidovich.

Na rannikh poezdakh [On early trains].

Moscow, “Sovetskii pisatel’”, 1943. 12mo, pp. 52, a very good copy in the original printed wrappers, light wear to edges. First edition of this collection of poems from the years 1936 to 1941. ‘With this collection Pasternak inaugurated a new phase in his poetry which many of his admirers have found disappointing, while others, notably Wladimir Weidlé, have greeted it as a liberation from false procedures. The latter view was obviously Pasternak’s own’ (Henry Gifford, Pasternak, A critical study, Cambridge University Press, 1977, p. 163).Tarasenkov p. 295.
