Poems A. N. Pleshcheeva. Third amended edition.
Publication A. A. Pleshcheeva. SPb. Printing Suvorin. 1898 XXXV, 824, XII p., 2 l. Fig., 2 l. facsimile. Hardcover, size 16 x 23 cm. Good complete condition.
With an engraved portrait, a view of the monument on the grave and two facsimiles on separate sheets. Alexey Pleshcheev (1825-1893) — Russian writer, poet, translator, literary and theatrical critic. In 1846, the first collection of poems made Pleshcheyev famous in the revolutionary youth environment; as a member of the Petrashevsky circle, he was arrested in 1849 and some time later sent into exile, where he spent almost ten years in military service. On his return from exile Pleshcheev continued literary activity; after going through years of poverty and deprivation, he became an authoritative writer, critic, publisher, and at the end of life and patron. Many of the works of the poet (especially of poems for children) have become textbook examples, are considered classics. More than a hundred romances were written to Pleshcheev's poems by the most famous Russian composers.
