SHAGINIAN, Marietta Sergeevna.

Gëte [Goethe].

Moscow and Leningrad, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, 1950. 8vo, pp. 191, [1], with frontispiece and 3 full-page illustrations; a very good copy in the original publisher's cloth, upper board lettered in gilt and blind, spine lettered gilt, a little rubbed. First edition. Goethe was Shaginian's idol, as attested by Puteshestvie v Veimar (Journey to Weimar), her account of a pilgrimage to Goethe's town, written in 1914 but delayed from reaching the press by war and revolution and finally published in 1923. Here she presents a scholarly work on the great German writer, which particularly examines Russian (and Soviet) appreciations.
