Cynics:; A Novel. Translated from the Russian by Valdemar D. Bell and Louis Coleman

New York: Albert & Charles Boni, 1930. First American edition. Lightly toned; very near fine in nice example of the dust jacket with a few tears and rubs and a partial split to the front elbow but intact and un-clipped, slight wear to spine-ends.. 8vo, [238]pp; lavender cloth. Marienhoff was a poet and close friend of fellow "Imaginist" Sergei Yesenin. He ran afoul of Soviet censors with this novel, an account of two Russian intellectuals during the revolution and its aftermath. It was not published in Russia until 1988.
