About This Item
Erich Maria Remarque (1898-1970) is one of the most famous and widely read German writers of the twentieth century. "All Quiet on the Western Front" is his first and most famous novel. The novel began to be published on November 8, 1928 in a Berlin newspaper, and the first separate edition was published on January 29, 1929. However, there is a little-known Russian edition of Remarque, which was published before the original edition was printed! The publisher of the proposed book is the infamous Zakhar Leontievich Kagansky, the former publisher of the magazine "Russia", who left the USSR and took with him a contract with Bulgakov for the publication of "The White Guard" and some of the writer's manuscripts. Taking advantage of the absence of legal norms on international copyright in the USSR, he published books without the permission of the authors, mainly M. Bulgakov (in a Theatrical novel, he was brought out under the name of Rvatsky).
In the case of Remarque's novel, Z. Kagansky managed to translate the novel into Russian in 2 months in 1928 and to print it as a separate book earlier than in the original language (!). The following year, 1929, the novel was translated into 26 languages, including Russian - published by the publishing house "Land and Factory". However, the Kagansky's edition set a kind of record, having been published before the original German edition. It is missing from the collection of Andrey Savin, in the catalog of the RNB.
