A RAW YOUTH. A Novel in Three Parts.

First edition in English, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with titles and decoration in gilt to the spine, blind stamped circular design to the upper and lower board. Lower page edges un-trimmed. A near very good copy, the internal hinge starting but firm, the binding with rubbing and bumping at the extremities, the spine and edges faded, with some fraying to the spine tips, corners and abrasions to the upper board, the cloth with some marks, the gilt oxidised but legible. The contents, with a pervious owner's inscription to the front free endpaper and the occasional spot internally, are otherwise clean throughout. Published as volume seven in "The Novels Of Fyodor Dostoevsky" series, some titles of which, as here, are the author's very first appearance in English.

Later translated as 'The Adolescent' and 'An Accidental Family', this was Dostoevsky's penultimate novel.
