Another good book to start with is The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chess by Patrick Wolff.
This covers a large amount of material from opening principles to tactics and strategy, well explained.

"... The title might suggest it is for beginners, but that is not the case. [The Soviet Chess Primer] does start off with some basic positions, but quickly moves on to much more advanced material including chapters on positional play and techniques of calculation." - IM John Donaldson

I agree. The English is old fashioned but good. Nimzowitsch's My System is a good one to keep in mind if you ever decide to get a second one but Dr. Lasker's book is my suggestion.

I will agree that Tarrasch book is by far the best complete cook for beginners.
The only drawback , you need to work with it. If you love chess that is actually a huge advantage.
Published about 8 or 9 decades ago.
Opening coverage might be considered to be a little dated.

... For a beginner, playing the opening as well as Tarrasch, Steinitz, Chigorin, Lasker, Capablanca, etc. would be a massive accomplishment.
Something that would necessarily be accomplished by reading a book from more than 80 years ago? Are there perhaps easier goals that would be more suitable for a modern beginner?

If it's your Blitz play specifically that you want to improve, then a chess book aimed at general improvement might not be your best bet.
Best might be to isolate the skills that Blitz demands (eg: tactical alertness, a quick grasp of shifting opportunities, the ability to watch the whole board instead of getting fixated on one part of it, etc) and start working on those particular skills.
Naturally an across-the-board improvement in all chess skills will help your Blitz, too.

What about lines that occurred little or not at all, 80 or more years ago?

Did Tarrasch write 72 pages on opening principles?
