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. This edition rare; one physical copy only in OCLC Houghton; the preceding Italian and English-language editions also scarce represented by fewer than 5 copies each in institutional holdings.
