Tolstoi, Lyof (Leon) N. Anna Karenina. In Eight Parts. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., 1886. Translated by Nathan Haskell Dole. 8vo, brown cloth with gilt front and spine, 773pp plus 4pp of Crowell ads. Dole, although not fluent in Russian, raced to produce the first English translation of this now-famous tome, apparently relying heavily on the French translation that had been published the previous year. Condition: Wear to head and foot of spine, corners bumped, front hinge weak. Binding a bit weak, but text block holding.
