by LEE, Harper
Moskva: Molodaia gvardiia, 1964. Hardcover. Very Good. First Russian book edition (it first appeared in Russia in two issues of the journal *Inostrannaia literatura* in 1963). Text in Russian. Translated into Russian by N. Gal and R. Oblonskaia. Octavo. Quarter black cloth printed in white and illustrated paper over boards. Attractive bookplate in Cyrillic of A.P. Chubova on the front pastedown, owner's names in Cyrillic on both sides of the first leaf, binding a little cocked and the spine lettering is a little rubbed, modest edgewear on the edges of the paper, overall a nice, very good copy. A classic novel about adolescence and the battle against injustice, basis for the equally classic film with Gregory Peck and Robert Duvall in his film debut as Boo Radley. Very uncommon. *OCLC* locates two copies of the Russian edition, at the University of Georgia and the Los Angeles Public Library.
