$35.00 Toporov, V. N. (translator, introduction, commentary) . DHAMMAPADA
Moscow 1960. Translated from the Pali into Russian. About the author and this book I quote from a web article by Algirdas Sabaliauskas, Remembering Vladimir Toporov. "Imperceptibly the conversation turned to Toporov. Recently in Moscow his translation from Pali of the Buddhist chef d'oeuvre 'Dhammapada' had been published. From Toporov's letter (23 March 1960) I had learned the unfortunate history of this work. The Oriental Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences had published the book. They had begun to sell the book at the institute kiosk. However, after three or four days the distribution of the book was stopped: in the book's introduction the translator had published religious views and had not given the Marxist interpretation of this Buddhist work. One hundred fifty copies of the book had already been sold (with a print run of 40,000). However, all was not lost. Toporov hoped that at least a small portion of the copies would reach the bookstores. He soon sent me a copy. Still it was difficult to stop the book's distribution, since the chief editor was the famous Russian orientalist Yurij Rerich. I liked the introduction to the book very much and Nikita Tolstoy was particularly delighted by it. I was also intrigued by the fact that the book had been dedicated to the memory of a certain V. S. Vorobyov-Desyatovski. I didn't know who this man was. Nikita Tolstoy explained to me that Toporov had probably never met this man, but still he felt for him a special respect. Considerably later I learned that he was a Russian orientalist who had not even lived to the age of 30. When Nikikta Tolstoy began to talk about Toporov's modesty, he said: 'You know - he is just a saint.' It seems to me now that Tolstoy's words were a very appropriate characterization of Toporov's personality." This is one of the surviving copies of this great work. Short pen note on front free blank. Hardcover. Octavo, 157pp., original printed cloth. Cover is near Good with cover cloth soiled and stained, especially on rear panel . But internally book is VG with almost no wear and just faint toning in page margins. (a80941)
