The first complete collected works. Turgenev's last literary undertaking – the first complete collected edition of his works. Collected editions had begun to appear as early as 1856, but none were entirely to Turgenev's satisfaction, who was displeased with poor proof-reading. Turgenev met Glazunov in the summer of 1882 to discuss this edition, and started proofing and editing in earnest in November. Turgenev managed to complete this enormous task before his death, nine months later. The six volumes still to be set to press at that point were rushed through in three months, using three different printers.

First complete works, 10 vols, 8vo (21.2 x 14.5 cm); engraved portrait and a folding facsimile of Turgenev's handwriting in vol. I, short close tear; later quarter brown morocco over marbled boards, spine with raised bands in six parts, gilt titles a very good set.
