A leather-bound book by Pushkin A.S. "Collected works in 11 volumes"

The collection of works by A.S. Pushkin in 11 volumes, which, in addition to poetry, prose and drama, beloved and familiar from his youth, includes three volumes of the poet's correspondence of 1815-1837 without censorship restrictions. This is a rare opportunity to touch the hitherto unknown epistolary legacy of Pushkin.

Not only punctuation and spelling are fully preserved in all texts, but also those words that are commonly called profanity, and which the poet uses so boldly with his inherent grace and irony. A truly unforgettable journey into the world of such a familiar and completely unknown great Pushkin awaits you. The last volumes in this collection of works by A. S. Pushkin are special. We hope that the reader will appreciate the gift that the publishing house has decided to make to all lovers of a rare book by publishing three unique volumes of Pushkin's correspondence.

These volumes were first published in 1906-1911 by special order of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in two versions: 1) with banknotes, where, for censorship reasons, "obscene" expressions were replaced with ellipses, and 2) without banknotes, where all the texts fully corresponded to the originals, not only in terms of punctuation and spelling, but also with regard to profanity, which Pushkin infrequently but masterfully used. I must say that the uncut edition was released in a meager edition, no more than ten sets, intended only for dedicated academicians of the Imperial Academy.
