Keller, Ellen (Keller, Helen); Sellivan, A. (Sullivan, Anne) - Istoriia Zhizni Ellen Keller. S Dopolneniiami Iz Pisem Eia Vospitatelnitsy Miss Sellivan (Life Story of Helen Keller. With Additions from Letters by Her Teacher Miss Sullivan)

Moskva, E. V. Malysheva, 1905. First Russian edition; octavo; pp. 147; printed, thick-paper wraps; illustrated with three portraits - one printed in-text, two more on unnumbered leaves of plates; wraps aged and slightly brittle around edges, with losses at spine ends and extremities; text paper well tanned at margins; in good to very good condition. An extremely-uncommon first Russian translation of Keller's The Story of My Life, published in 1905, the year of the first socialist revolution in Russia and, perhaps not coincidentally, the year that Keller first became affiliated with the Socialist Party of America. It also appears to be the first work devoted to Keller published in Russia. What makes it particularly valuable to research is that the translation is not attributed, but would appear to be an abridgment and a free adaptation, as the English-language version (1903) ran to more than 400 pages. No institutional holdings in OCLC or KVK, nor any mention of the publisher, E.V. Malysheva. If OCLC is to be believed, no complete Russian translation of Keller's autobiography appeared until 2003. Very good .
