1919002046Riga: Ts. K. K. P. L. Central Committee of the Communist Party of Latvia 1919. Softcover. Very good. Large printed document; 15 3/4 x 10; single sheet pp. 2; newspaper stock ruled with an intricate border; 1 1/2" loss of paper to upper right corner; crease line through middle; a bit of age-toning; overall in very good condition. Possibly one of the earliest publications of the newly-renamed Communist party of Latvia it was an exuberant call to all working men and women to celebrate for the very first time in Latvia May 1 the day of the victory of the proletariat. The party was initially founded in 1904 and in 1906 after entering the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party as a territorial organization it changed its name to Social-Democracy of the Latvian Territory. In June of 1918 a group of Mensheviks who had been expelled from the latter formed the Latvian Social Democratic Workers' Party. In turn it was renamed the Communist Party of Latvia in March of 1919. Ultimately the party would be banned in 1920 after the Latvian War of Independence. The document in true propaganda fashion rambled on about the evil bourgeoisie's terror and their demise in the hands of the Bolsheviks and the continued need for thwarting the efforts of the world Imperialism. A memorable passage read: "Today the entire European armed proletariat raises their weapons even higher and exclaims - Want war You will perish!" Riga: Ts. K. K. P. L.

Both her professional and personal life reflect the social attitude towards independent women and their influence and acceptance throughout the 20th century. <br /><br />Born May 12 1907 in Hartford Connecticut to a doctor and a suffragette she was from birth encouraged to speak her mind develop her brain and be physically fit. Independent and somewhat rebellious from youth she shunned convention and this was embraced in her early career. <br /><br />A result of the Depression meant that many women needed to re-invent their lives -- many seeking jobs and needing to be aggressive in doing so. Hepburn's early films reflected strong women in the workforce many of them professionals -- no matter the setting and period of the story. These portrayals gave hope to women that they too could achieve independent success. The scripts were saddled with romantic convention but that made the overall story acceptable to all tastes -- particularly as the 1934 Production Code took force. <br /><br />Moviegoers became tired of the aggressive maverick as the economy improved in the late-1930s. Hepburn's home studio RKO became less open to finding the unconventional vehicles it had taken a chance on for several years and Hepburn was labeled box office poison. <br /><br />As independent in the handling of her own career's fate as she was her personal life she found her own project: THE PHILADELPHIA STORY. It became a hit on Broadway and she single-handedly launched a new and successful branch of her film career by working with MGM for the film rights and signing a contract which took her through the 1940s.<br /><br />THE PHILADELPHIA STORY bridged a gap from independent woman who gets her comeuppance to independent career woman who also needs a seemingly conventional and equal partner. This she found in her teaming with Spencer Tracy. This worked well both during and after World War II particularly as women needed to fill jobs left by men during the war thus empowering them with an independence which continued in the workplace after. <br /><br />Hepburn's 1950s and 60s career reflects attitudes towards women as they age. She starts to play spinsters such as in THE AFRICAN QUEEN and SUMMERTIME who are looking for love. As America became seemingly a bit more conservative so did some of her roles -- but the 1950s and early-60s were a strange period of convention and dark psychology and her roles in SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER RAINMAKER and LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT reflect that. As the 1960s progressed her characterizations grew to accept the changes in society such as in GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER and her roles later were those of older age reflecting on the past but embracing the present. <br /><br />Hepburn was one of the very few film actresses whose career spanned the entire sound film era of the 20th century. She would be nominated for 12 Academy Awards winning 4 and bookend her work with awards for MORNING GLORY 1933 and ON GOLDEN POND 1981. She was one of the few talents to have control over her career and one of the few to have such great longevity. <br /><br />This collection reflects nearly every theatrical film that she appeared in between the years of 1932 and 1994. It is a collection worthy of study. There are 230 photographs all but a few are 8 x 10" single weight glossy original release prints a few are slightly smaller or on double weight paper. Overall condition of the collection is FINE. Various books

First edition; 5 1/2 x 8 1/2; pp. 31; beige wraps printed in black; small nicks to tips of spine; faint age-toning along margins of wraps; pages clean; very good or better. Nikolai Berdiaev 1874 â 1948 was one of Russia's best known religious philosophers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a leading theoretician for the Russian Social Democratic Party. An article of his in 1913 criticising the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church earned him a charge of blasphemy the punishment for which was exile to Siberia for life. The Revolution prevented the sentence from taking effect and he was allowed to continue writing and lecturing. Though consequently his dissatisfaction with the Bolsheviks' regime got him arrested several times and eventually resulted in his expulsion from Russia in 1922 on the so called "Philosophers' Ship" - a selected group of 160 prominent writers and intellectuals whose ideas the Bolshevik government found objectionable. In exile first in Berlin and later in Paris Berdiaev was editor in chief of the YMCA-Press founder of the above-mentioned Russian Religious Philosophical Academy and editor of the periodical Putâ âThe Wayâ - to which the current pamphlet was published as a supplement. Georgii Fedotov Vladimir Il'in and Sergei Bulgakov were also prominent exiled theologians and philosophers who worked closely with Berdiaev in Paris. Paris: YMCA Press paperback books
