Abstract

The article deals with an obscure episode related to the publication of one of the first editions of I. S. Turgenev’s Complete Works, that came out in four volumes in 1859-1860, and with A. A. Fet’s involvement in it. The edition, bearing the name of N. A. Osnovsky on the cover, was in fact undertaken by him in partnership with A. N. Pleshcheyev and I. V. Pavlov. This led to a conflict between the partners, that almost ended in a duel. Dragged into the story, Fet found himself in a predicament that ended well, but had a far-reaching impact on the relationship between the writer and the poet.
