While there he befriended fellow expatriate writers James Baldwin and Chester Himes and was drawn to existentialism after becoming involved with its primary exponents: Jean-Paul Sartre Simone de Beauvoir Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Albert Camus.

The recipient was of course the British Prime Minister at the time when India gained Independence and features several times in the narrative. When Attlee won the 1945 election he received a congratulatory telegram from Azad of which Nehru and Gandhi disapproved as they ''were both skeptical about the Labour attitude to India''.Spine a bit faded. Covers slightly marked. Very good. No dustwrapper it is known that Attlee removed them from all his books. An important association copy. Longmans, Green and Co, New York. unknown

44043Amsterdam: Yshak de Cordova 5466. Fifth printing. Hardcover. poor to g-. 16mo. 3.5x6". 167pp. missing final page. Original brown calf boards. The book is a complete Spanish-language translation of the biblical book Song of Songs Song of Solomon and Perkei Avot Ethics of the Fathers the famed collection Jewish ethical sayings taken from the Talmud. Both of these works feature Moses Belmonte's translations which had been printed in Amsterdam since 1644. The translations are interlinear with each passage printed in Hebrew followed by the Spanish and in the case of Song of Songs the translation is followed by Spanish-language commentary. These works are related in their connection to the Jewish observance of Passover.

As stated in the preface this is the "Quinta Imprension" Fifith printing of the work based on Belmonte's translation and that it was printed for the congregation of Rabbi Jacob de Mesa in Amsterdam. Title page bordered with a decorative woodblock motif. Decorative head and endpeices at the beginning and end of sections. Some of the translated text of Perkei Avot contains numerous in-text hand-corrections and Hebrew marginal notes in ink from the period. <br /> <br /> Text in Spanish with passages in Hebrew and some Ladino.<br /> <br /> Binding with spine missing rubbing and light chipping to extremities. Covers with some creasing scratches and abrasions. Starting at interior covers and some other pages throughout. Some sporadic water stains foxing and smudges throughout.

The final page p.167 containing the final passage of Perkei Avot verse 14 in Hebrew and Spanish is missing. Interior back cover is partially torn away from the board. Name of the previous owner in ink on the interior covers and the bottom of the title page. Binding fairly tight overall. Binding in poor interior good- condition overall. Moses Belmonte 1619 – 1647 Amsterdam was a poet and translator of Portuguese Jewish origin.<br /> <br /> Alternative titles: <br /> "Paraphrasis Caldayca en los Cantares de Selomoh con el Texto Hebrayco y Ladino traduzida en lengua Española"<br /> "Paraphrasis Caldaica en los cantares de Selomoh: con el Texto Hebrayco y Ladino traduzida en lengua Española"<br /> <br /> This copy belonged to Jacob Alvarez-Pereira 1684-1754 who was a prominent Sephardic Jewish merchant. <br /> <br /> References: SILVAROSA 1933 18 KAYSERLING p.181 under bible.

Quarto 28.25cm; photomechanically reproduced sheets comb-bound into light blue printed covers; 1011-1722pp. Publisher's rubber stamp appearing on half-title page with the tentative date Nov.16 1970 and tentative price $7.95 written in blue pen and the rubber stamp of the Crane Duplicating Service appearing on inner rear cover. Some very subtle toning to covers with a handful of faint tiny stains and a few faint creases to same; Near Fine housed in a custom clamshell case.<br /> <br /> Proof copy of the author's sixth book translated into English and together with Ficciones the collection he considered his major work. The volume collects 20 stories - eleven of which had never previously appeared in book form in English - and a lengthy autobiographical essay. While many of these works are exceptional metaphysical fantasies the title work stands above the others describing "a magical point in space which contains all others and in which the whole infinite universe can be glimpsed" Barron Fantasy Literature 3-43. The English versions of these stories are superb; to this point di Giovanni's translations were the only ones done with Borges's collaboration. While no hard numbers are known for how many such proofs were printed marketing materials for Crane from this period suggest they would not undertake a job printing fewer than 11 copies of a proof with other known examples from this period numbering between two to three dozen.
