The Invaders and Other Stories (Volume XII)

A beautiful individual volume from Charles Scribner's Sons' celebrated collected edition of Tolstoy's works, published in New York in 1911. This is Volume XII, containing The Invaders and Other Stories, in the original deep navy publisher's cloth with gilt-ruled border, a central gilt floriate device, and a richly gilt-ornamented spine bearing the series title and volume number. Top edge gilt; pages left with their original untrimmed deckle edges. Includes the original frontispiece illustration — an original drawing by T. V. Chominski — protected by a captioned tissue guard. Light surface soiling to the boards; text toned throughout as expected for paper of this age; binding firm. The Invaders and Other Stories was translated from the Russian by Nathan Haskell Dole (Thomas Y. Crowell, 1899).
