KRYMOV, Vladimir. End of the Imp
KRYMOV, Vladimir. End of the Imp. Trans. from the Russian by Malcolm Burr. London: George Allen and Unwin. 1937. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s bright blue cloth lettered in dark red to the spine and upper board, in the dust jacket. A very good copy, the cloth gently rubbed along the spine head and tail and, less so, to the corners. The bottom edges shelfworn. The binding tight and square, with some light spots to the textblock edges. The contents largely fine, ink gift inscription to the front pastedown and almost entirely concealed by the front flap. A few other light marks and singular spots. The dust jacket unclipped (7s 6d net) and complete, several small chips, creases, nicks and closed tears to most edges, with some grubbiness across all panels. Still, uncommon in the jacket.
The third translated-into-English work by the Russian author—after Out for a Million and He’s Got a Million. This one follows glass-half-empty Arseny and his transition from pessimist to optimist with the aid of some wealthy Englishwomen playing maximums in Monte Carlo.
