The London International Antiquarian Book Fair May 28Th-30Th 2015 FOREWORD BOOKVICA Russian Antiquarian Books www.bookvica.ru The London International Antiquarian Book Fair May 28th-30th 2015 FOREWORD Bookvica is the specialist in antiquarian books in Russian language. We are based in Moscow (Russia) and Tbilisi (The republic of Georgia). We usually focus on presenting the best books ever printed on Russian territory in all the significant fields . This catalogue for Olympia Bookfair is another step forward for us as we introduce the collection of books on Russian Travels in Asia. This collection includes the travel accounts in Siberia and Far East of Russia as well as foreign territories. We carefully selected the accounts that were primary to these territories – the ones that made the real impact in understanding Asian world: like works of Iakinf Bichurin the first Russian sinologist or the story of the fleet of captain Rikord that prevented potential war between Russia and Japan in the 1810s. Apart from travel we concentrate on literature: you can find in our catalogue the first editions of the best works by Dostoevsky and Chekhov along with the very first publications by them. Tracking the links between Russian and Western culture is another purpose of our work – hence the section on the reception of different western classics in Russia. The unknown early illustrated publication of ‘Dubliners’ is the highlight of that section along with the limited edition of the first Russian ‘The picture of Dorian Gray’ (1906). Our usual high-demand section of early Soviet books features books and magazines designed by Rodchenko, Moor and Ilyin. ‘Science and economics’ does have some rather interesting editions of works by Pavlov, Lenin, Darwin and Sechenov. You can also find autographs, books on music and theatre on our list. Beautiful editions of Old-believers books along with important works on Russian history conclude the catalogue. You will find us at stand F09. Bookvica is a member of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers and The Guild of Antiquarian Booksellers of Russia.

[& GOLOVNIN, V.M.] Zapiski flota kapitana Rikorda o plavanii ego k yaponskim beregam v 1812 i 1813 godakh i o snosheniyakh s yapontsami [i.e. Notes of Fleet Captain Rikord about his Sailing to Japan's Shores in 1812 and 1813, and His Relations with the Japanese]. St. Petersburg: V Morskoi tip., 1816. [x], 138 pp. 4to. Period brown half calf with marbled boards and gilt lettered title on the spine. Four folding copper engraved maps and plans after P. Rikord, and an aquatint portrait of Takadaya-Kahei. Faint damp stain throughout the first eighty pages of the text, leather on the spine with chipping and minor tears, top and bottom of the spine repaired, some browning on p. 199, but overall a very good copy. First Edition. Very rare. Primary source of the early history of the Russian-Japanese relations closely connected with the first Russian circumnavigation (1803-1806) of Ivan Krusenstern and the Russian-American Company under Nikolay Rezanov (1764-1807). The book describes the rescue operation organised by Captain Peter Rikord on the Imperial Russian sloop "Diana" as a result of the famous diplomatic Golovnin incident (1811-1813), which brought Russia and Japan to the brink of war. The conflict started in 1804 during Krusenstern’s circumnavigation; one of its goals as we know, was to bring the first Russian embassy headed by N. Rezanov to Japan. As the embassy was unsuccessful and relations between Russia and Japan weren’t established, and also Russian ships were strictly prohibited from approaching Japanese shores, Rezanov wanted revenge. Following his instructions, two ships belonging to the Russian-American Company and under the command of young navy officers Nikolas Khvostov and Gavriil Davydov in 1806-1807 sailed to the Japanese territories of Southern Sakhalin, Kuril Islands and Hokkaido, and robbed and burned the settlements there, and captured 3 TRAVEL several Japanese. Although both Kvostov and Davydov were arrested as soon as they arrived to Okhotsk, the attitude of the Japanese to Russians significantly deteriorated; they considered Russia to be preparing for a war against .apan. In 1808-1811 the Russian sloop "Diana" under command of Vasily Golovnin and Peter Rikord, as the second-in-command, was sent as a second official Russian circumnavigation with the purpose of exploration and surveying of the Russian Far East, Kamchatka and Alaska. During Golovnin’s short stop at the island of Kunashir, Golovnin, his two officers and four sailors were taken prisoners, transported to the island of Hokkaido and there were kept in prison for over two years. The peaceful solution of the conflict became possible only as a result of the friendly relationship between Peter Rikord and the prominent Japanese businessman and public figure Takadaya Kahei (1769-1827). The Russian sailors were then released from Japanese captivity (no one in history has ever returned from the Japanese captivity before). This work describes the story of Golovnin’s capture and the rescue in a very captivating manner. The plates depict the views of the harbours and ports of Edermo (modern Erimo) and Hakodate, plans of the special facilities built for the negotiations, and a portrait of Takadaya Kahei. Rikord’s book supplements the book by Golovnin, titled “Captivity in Japan During the Years 1811, 1812, 1813” (SPb., 1816). Only one copy found in Worldcat (University of Michigan).

''RARE FIRST EDITION of this important account by an early Russian player in the so-called Great Game to develop trade and influence in the Caspian Basin and Central Asia. ... A French translation was published in 1823, a German one in 1825, and an English translation was published in Calcutta in 1871'' (Christie’s). In the summer of 1819 Muravyov, set out from the shores of the Caspian for the city of Khiva disguised as Turcoman tribesman. His mission was to open up commercial contact with the khanate, assess the strength of its defenses, and discover whether Russian slaves were still being held there. Muravyov was imprisoned on the orders of the Khan when he reached his destination. After several weeks, he was granted an audience with the Khan and shortly afterwards, accompanied by a small group of Khivan envoys, he returned to Russia. Summoned to St Petersburg, he was able to brief the Tsar in detail on every aspect of his journey, in particular his discovery that some 3,000 Russians were being held in pitiful conditions of servitude, a revelation that was to provide the Russians with an excellent pretext for their subsequent expansion into Central Asia. The first text volume contains Muravyov’s travel diary, the second – 5 TRAVEL detailed analysis of the state of the Khiva khanate and the adjacent lands in the early 19th century (geography, relief, flora and fauna, climate, native tribes, main cities, government and civil wars, finance, trade and industries, army, religion, manners and customs et al.). The atlas includes large folding maps of the Eastern shores of the Caspian Sea and of the Khiva khanate illustrating Muravyov’s journey, views of Khiva and desert fortresses, portraits of the leaders of the Khiva khanate, and others.

  • Biography (PDF)
    Alexi Matchavariani - Biography - The folk music of his homeland was always of great importance to the Georgian composer Alexi Matchavariani, born on 23 September 1913. In his first works, written in the 1930s, he treated rhythmic and melodic elements of Georgian folksongs. But the progressive tendencies of Soviet music of that period also influenced his work. Matchavariani’s style thus shows a polystylistic dialogue, as a mixture of traditional, Georgian music and contemporary compositional techniques. The musician, recipient of many awards, completed his studies at the Tbilissi Conservatory in 1936. He taught music theory there beginning in 1940 and was appointed professor of composition in 1963. His creative output covers a very broad spectrum: chamber music, romances, symphonies, operas and ballets. The composer’s first major success was the Piano Concerto of 1944, but his real breakthrough only took place in 1950 with the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, a very lyrical work with a special attraction thanks to its combination of diatonic folk music and chromaticism. Matchavariani also earned recognition with the ballet “Othello” in symphonic style. This work was performed abroad a number of times, including in Tokyo, Bucharest and Helsinki, and also in Russia. Matchavariani’s music can be seen as a reflection of his lifelong search for the synthesis of national musical influences and new compositional techniques. Only a few years after the magnificent success of his ballet “Othello” in 1957, Matchavariani decided to tackle an opera based on Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” He began writing a libretto in collaboration with the Georgian producer Meliva based on a translation by Ivane Machabeli.

  • Ivan Turgenev's Finnish Contacts
    SLAVICA HELSINGIENSIA 35 ɋɥɸɛɨɜɶɸɤɫɥɨɜɭ Festschrift in Honour of Professor Arto Mustajoki on the Occasion of his 60th Birthday Ed. by Jouko Lindstedt et al. Helsinki 2008 ISBN 978-952-10-5136-4 (paperback), ISBN 978-952-10-5137-1 (PDF), ISSN 0780-3281 Ben Hellman (University of Helsinki) A Visitor and a Letter: Ivan Turgenev’s Finnish Contacts Ivan Turgenev was the first Russian writer to gain popularity in Finland, with many translations into Swedish and Finnish being published during his last years. On the other hand, Turgenev’s personal contacts with Finland were next to nonexistent. He never visited Finland, and neither did he reveal any interest in Finnish culture. Among his friends and acquaintances nobody with a Finnish background is to be found. The sole contacts with Finland to be registered are Jac. Ahrenberg’s visit to Turgenev in Paris in 1878 and – four years later – a letter from a publisher concerning Finnish translations. Ahrenberg’s visit has passed unnoticed by researchers, while Turgenev’s letter in reply to the Finnish publisher has been included in the writer’s col- lected works, it is true, though accompanied by totally erroneous comments. The visitor In 1878 Jac. Ahrenberg (1847–1914) was chosen to be a member of the Fin- nish commission for the Paris World Fair. He had studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm, and after having received a diploma in 1874, he worked as a teacher of drawing and art history in Finland. Simultaneously he had established himself as a journalist and writer.

  • How to Deal with Russia （Cultural Internationalism Rather Than Territorial Dispute）
    How To Deal With Russia （Cultural Internationalism Rather Than Territorial Dispute） Hideaki Kinoshita Introduction Considering relations with Russia, it appears to be imperative among the Japanese people to raise the question of the Northern Territories, which comprises the islands of Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashiri and Etorofu. It is because the issue is perceived by the Japanese people as the apparent act of unprovoked aggression initiated during the final stages of World War II by Russian’s illegal and perfidious attack on the Chishima Islands with a sudden shift from relations of friendship to enmity. Japan was actually courting the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics（USSR） to perform as an intermediary for the armistice with the Allied Forces. Russian’s sudden attack unilaterally abrogating the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact concluded in April, 1941 was baffling for the Japanese government, and aroused the impression to the Japanese that they were duped to the committing to the agreement. The agreement specified mutual respect of territorial integrity and inviolability as well as neutrality should one of the contracting parties become the object of hostilities of any third party（Slavinsky 1996: 129）. The Soviet attack no doubt was executed within the validity period of the pact and after the Japanese notification of accepting the Potsdam Declaration on August 15, 1945, and even continued after concluding the armistice on the Battleship Missouri on September 2, 1945（Iokibe, Hatano 2015: 311）. The concept, advocated by the government, of “inherent” Japanese Northern Territories helped foment the idea of the so called “residual” legal rights to the four islands in the Japanese public psyche.
