Fisher 1908-1992 contributed an introduction to the second Arion Press book "A Commonplace Book of Cookery" in 1975 but died before we were able to pay tribute to her by publishing her first major literary work a translation of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin's 1755-1826 famous gastronomic essays. This book originally made for hire in 1948 for the Limited Editions Club formed her as an author on subjects relating to food wine dining and living well in the largest sense. She became a good friend of the Press extending invitations to "the crew" to come to her home in St. Helena for a hike and a swim followed by lunch where the conversation was always lively but never about food. The artist Wayne Thiebaud delivered to Hoyem a large pile of original ink drawings and told him to use what he wanted. Hoyem made photocopies of the drawings and sorted and combined them as he saw fit and Thiebaud immediately approved the selection. He also made the nine lithographs in color and drew a design for the cover of the binding that showed the skills he learned as a commercial graphic artist. A trade edition was published by Counterpoint in 1996. Note that while this copy is marked as a "Display" copy we do not believe it was actually used as such as both the book and slipcase are in fine condition. ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

The 79th Survivor

197610367Hardcover 246 pages. A foreign stamp on the title page. Interior in great shape clean and bright with unmarked text free of inscriptions firmly bound. Gently age-toned upper outer page edges a touch of minor yellowing on endpapers only. Dust jacket with a tear to the upper front edge. -- "This book needs no introduction. It is the authentic story of my brother-in-law a Polish officer of the reserve son of the composer and the well beloved conductor of the Warsaw Opera Emil Mlynarski captured at the end of the Polish-German Campaign in 1939 by the invading Red Army and detained in a Soviet camp for officers. Most of the inmates of these camps disappeared mysteriously and bodies of over 4000 of them were later found in the Katyn Woods near Smolensk. They were identified and it was established that the victims had been inmates of one camp only namely that of Kozyelsk Kozelsk. A similar fate befell officers in the two other camps most of whom disappeared without trace. Mlynarski was held at the camp of Starobyelsk and for reasons unknown with 78 other Polish officers was allowed to survive and to tell his story. It is a tragic one. First came the treacherous and brutal blow struck by the Red Army in the back of the retreating and unsuspecting Polish troops belonging to a country with whom the Soviet Union not only was not in a state of war but bound by a non-aggression pact. Then came the no less brutal manner by which the prisoners were driven into Central Russia first on foot later in box-cars more apt for transporting cattle than human beings. And finally the sojourn in the Starobyelsk Starobielsk Camp. The author's account of his ghastly ordeal is not only gripping but offers an incisive insight into the workings of the secret police known then as the NKVD which ran the camp. The way in which as one can assume the decision of the ultimate annihilation of the Polish prisoners of war was slowly maturing in Stalin's mind has the makings of a Greek tragedy of unsurpassed dimensions." Arthur Rubinstein -- Contents: 1 Warsaw September 1939; 2 Direction - East; 3 A knife in our backs; 4 Deadly ambush; 5 Eye to eye with the enemy; 6 In Soviet captivity; 7 To the East in stages; 8 Our first contacts with Soviet reality; 9 Camp Starobyelsk; 10 A delegate from Moscow; 11 Everyday camp life; 12 Prisoners from Shepetovka; 13 Lavotchka the green box; 14 Roubles; 15 My first interrogation; 16 The new barracks; 17 "Thank you my friends"; 18 Dogs; Epilogue by Witold Kaczkowski -- "Prompted by a sense of evil foreboding a handful of officers who had been closely united through brotherhood through suffering and distress gave each other a solemn vow that if one of them should live to see freedom he would remember the others. This proved to be our parting. For Providence chose to spare me only and to restore freedom to me alone." This book is the fulfilment of Mlynarski's promise to those friends. He was one of the 79 officers out of nearly 4000 whose life was spared by the NKVD when they liquidated the Starobyelsk "special" prisoner-of-war camp in 1940. Caught between the German and Red Armies at the beginning of the ww2 some Poles hoped against hope that the Red Army was crossing the border to fight side by side with them against the Germans. Reality brought an invaded Poland a defeated and imprisoned army and 3 special pow camps for the leaders of Polish society. In 1943 in the Katyn Woods the Germans dug up the corpses of the unlucky 4254 Poles from one of the special camps. The bodies of the "other 10000" from the other two camps have never been found. This is a tragic yet poetic story of a true patriot imbued with a deep love for human beings who also felt sympathy for the ordinary Russian people themselves victims of the inhuman Stalin regime. It is also one of the most important contributions to a chapter in history which has been shrouded in secrecy hidden behind an iron curtain of conspiracy. Bachman & Turner hardcover
