Wolfe and his wife Ella in year of publication: "For my dear comrades and friends Ella and Bert W. hoping that 1944 will be less cruel to humanity than its immediate predecessor." Expected marginal tanning to text else a sound attractive copy in a lightly worn dustwrapper. Translation by Balabanoff from the Italian of Il Traditore NY:1942. Text entirely in Spanish save the final page which reprints a poem in Italian "Inno dei Lavoratori" by Filippo Turati. Major association copy of one of Balabanoff's scarcest books. Angelica Balabanoff 1878-1965 an Italian Jew was among the founders of the Italian Communist Party in 1900; she joined the Russian Bolsheviks in 1917 and served as secretary of the Comintern from 1919-20 during which time she became closely affiliated with Lenin Trotsky Zinoviev and many others. She broke with the Bolsheviks and left Russia in 1922 after which she once again became active in the Italian Socialist party. During Mussolini's regime she went into exile first in Switzerland then Paris and briefly Mexico and Buenos Aires; finally New York City where she remained until the close of the war. Balabanoff wrote fluently in at least four languages publishing original works in Italian Spanish English and French and often as here providing her own translations for multilingual editions. The current copy inscribed by Balabanoff to the influential American communists and later anti-communists Bertram and Ella Wolfe comprises a significant association; Balabanoff and Ella Wolfe met during the former's war-time exile and remained lifelong friends; their correspondence housed at the Hoover Institution provided much of the source material for Maria Lafont's biographyThe Strange Comrade Balabanoff McFarland 2016.

Often attributed to Bishop Berkeley but in fact the work of another Catholic divine Simon Berington; in any case not a translation of any Italian work and "Gaudentio di Lucca" a synonym. Gaudentio which describes an imaginary African kingdom of Mezzorania where "Nature is the source of all that is good for mankind" originally appeared in London in 1737 and proved immediately popular going through a succession of French and German translations prior to the death of the author in 1755. The first American edition appeared in Norwich Connecticut in 1796; ours is the second American edition printed in Philadelphia three years later. Both editions are institutionally plentiful but rather uncommon in commerce. SARGENT p.11 the 1st ed. LEWIS p.18. NEGLEY 93. LCP AFRO-AMERICANA 1125 citing only this edition. EVANS 35183.
