TOLSTOY ALEXEI (1817-1875) Upyr: Sochinenie Krasnorogskogo [The Vampire: A Composition by Krasnorogsky]. St. Petersburg: Tip. Fishera, 1841. - [2], 177 p., 1 frontispiece. Full-leather binding with gold embossing on the spine, decorative patterned endpapers, gilt edges. The title page, p. 17, and p. 177 are modern reproductions. The author's first book.
The first book with which young Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy was published, hiding his surname under the pseudonym Krasnorogsky (name of the estate). The author himself did not attach much importance to this work and did not include it in his collected works. Only in 1900, "Upyr" was reissued by Vl. Solovyov. The 1841 edition was printed in a very limited number of copies and has become a significant bibliographic rarity over time.
The author's first book.
