The respective owners cooperated to photograph the entire manuscript and the ivory covers during the exhibition. Thus a foundation was laid for the reconstruction of the manuscript in this fine facsimile edition which must serve in the place of a unified whole.</p> Braziller, hardcover

19424754Washington DC: El Coordinador de Asuntos Interamericanos 1942. Very good. Pictorial lithograph 20 x 14.25 inches printed in red gray yellow and black. Minor surface wear mild creasing light dust-soiling a few pinholes. A rare poster issued by the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs CIAA during World War II attempting to sway public opinion in Latin America to the Allied side. The CIAA was established by executive order in July 1941 in order to distribute news advertising film reels and more to and from Latin America to counter Italian and German propaganda campaigns in the region. The text of the present poster translates from the Spanish as "Freedom of Speech. One of the four freedoms for which the Allies are fighting." The central image features an open-mouthed face breaking open a large swastika which is itself on fire. A mildly subtle message that free speech destroys fascism. The poster was designed by noted Russian-American graphic designer and photographer Alexey Brodovitch whose printed credit appears at top right; Brodovitch is most well-known for his art direction of Harper's Bazaar from 1934 to 1958. A powerful visual display with only one copy reported in OCLC at MOMA though we also find two other institutional holdings at the United States Holocaust Museum and the Hoover Institute.

198759799New York: Curbstone Press 1987. First English Language Edition. First printing. Octavo. Tan cloth hardcover; dustjacket; xviii19-503pp. Inscribed on front flyleaf: "Para la camarada Kendra Alexander y adelante con la lucha solidaria con el pueblo Salvadoreño y Centroamerica" signed by Miguel Mármol dated 1988. Mild bumps to board corners a bit of rippling to cloth on spine still Near Fine a slightly faded but still Near Fine dustwrapper. <br /> <br /> A terrific association copy inscribed by Miguel Mármol to American communist and civil rights activist Kendra Alexander. Mármol 1905-1993 founding father of the Salvadoran Communist Party in 1930 and a leading figure of the Salvadoran worker-revolutionary movement for over five decades told his story over the course of several weeks in 1966 to the Salvadoran communist poet Roque Dalton. In his introduction Dalton who was assassinated in 1973 describes the experience as "one of the greatest satisfactions of my life" and the result was indeed one of the most popular and important works of Latin American revolutionary literature of the decade - Mármol's tumultuous life most of it spent in exile came both to exemplify and inspire the revolutionary movement in El Salvador and Central America.<br /> <br /> Though Miguel Mármol was first published in 1972 and went into numerous subsequent printings in Cuba and the Soviet Union there was no English-language translation until this 1987 edition from the small Latin-American publisher Curbstone. The cloth issue is hard to find and inscribed copies are rare; this a compelling association copy inscribed to the American civil rights leader and Communist Party leader Kendra Alexander 1945-1993 perhaps best-remembered as a close associate of Angela Davis whose Defense Committee she co-chaired during Davis's 1971 conspiracy trial. 59799.

19451665Buenos Aires: Republica Argentina Ministerio de Guerra 1945. Very Good. 33 cm. Typed letter signed by Perón on recto with typed response to his recommendations dated July 30 1945 on verso; corresponding stamps to both sides. Light edgewear; vertical creasing and two rough holes to left margin. A bureaucratic letter from Perón referencing a case brought against an unidentified soldier dressed in civilian clothing who appeared at the home address of one Captain Dumon and either requested or was given 20 pesos for a particular but unstated purpose. The soldier failed to deliver the money to the third party for whom it was intended and the captain filed a complaint with the military authorities; this went to the Auditor General and triggered an investigation. However the captain failed to show up to identify the soldier in question and because the soldier was in civilian clothing the case was referred to civilian authorities.It is not entirely clear to us why Perón was involved in this seemingly minor case but it appears that he was brought in as part of the investigation and that this letter is his department's response. He became President of Argentina a little less than a year later. Republica Argentina Ministerio de Guerra hardcover
1923List2852Mexico City 1923. Double-sided 8 ½ x 11 inch sheet handwritten with signature. Stained and slightly torn at fold. Excellent. Julio Enrique Ãvila 1892–1968 was a Salvadoran science professor journalist and poet. He is best known for his poetry anthology El mundo de mi jardÃn 1927. Offered here is a review of MarÃa Teresa Montoya in a production of Linares Rivas’ La Mala Ley at Mexico City’s Ideal Theater in 1923. In it Ãvila is captivated not by the play or Montoya’s performance but by the theater’s blind pianist. Translated from Spanish the review reads in part:<br /> <br /> “Staggering slightly and supported by a companion's shoulder a pale introspective young man makes his way between the seats. His hair is striking illuminated by a serene sadness and bears the color of dusk—as if the last ray of sunlight that once shone for him remained trapped within it… for him who is blind completely blind!<br /> <br /> “The audience claps impatiently… And he—who knows nothing of impatience—for whom time is endless who knows no early or late cannot understand this restless eagerness to push minutes forward this relentless dissatisfaction this desperate craving to experience everything—both suffering and joy—within the brevity of a lifetime. .<br /> <br /> “He must be a dreamer whose illusions lie far beyond reach a man of fantasy who cannot grasp his dream… His sensitive hands move over the keys as if searching for a path for a thread of melody to carry them away… They wander gathering jasmine in a harmonious garden to make an offering… They are like fledgling birds that have mistaken the moon bathing in the pond for their mother… And they follow it endlessly yet never reach it… and weep because they have been left alone… .<br /> <br /> “And through the music my soul has longed to embrace the soul of that lonely man that artist who dwells in sound who builds palaces and horizons out of melodies… The soul of that pale withdrawn young man who knows nothing of impatience for whom there is no early or late.â€<br /> <br /> Overall a striking work by a significant figure in Latin American literature. unknown

196787336Santiago: Editorial Cooperativa Lambda 1967. First Edition. Octavo 24cm. Coated card wrappers with French flaps; unpaginated 193pp; illus. Very light wear to covers; internally complete and clean but for a few faint pencil marginal markings by the previous owner the noted poet and translator Nathaniel Tarn. Near Fine. Text entirely in Spanish.<br /> <br /> A collaborative book-length work combining poetry and conceptual imagery; published anonymously but compiled and edited primarily by Chilean avant-garde poet Godofredo Iommi. "Amereida" a composite neologism for "American Aeneid" is a conceptual chronicle of a literal cross-country trek from Tierra del Fuego to Southern Bolivia undertaken in 1965 by a group of like-minded poets architects designers philosophers and artists including Iommi 1925-2001 the architect Alberto Cruz 1917-2013 sculptor Claudio Girola 1923-1994 French philosopher François Fédier 1935-2021 and numerous others. Many of the participants in this first "Travesia Amereida" had originally coalesced around the surrealist group in post-war Paris and were later responsible for modernizing the faculty and curriculum of the College of Architecture at the Universidad Católico de Valparaíso. In 1971 the group founded an intentional community the "Ciudad Abierta" "Open City" in Ritoque Chile some kilometers southwest of Valparaíso; the community is still in existence and the tradition of the "Travesias" continues with annual journeys through the South American wilderness that become stages for performance poetry readings and art installations. La Ciudad Abierta quoting the editorial introduction to the poem in the Oxford Book of Latin American Poetry ".is probably the only site in the world where architecture is conceived as an outgrowth of poetry" OBLAP p.362ff. The current volume nominally the community's founding document is notoriously scarce almost never encountered in commerce; OCLC locates only about a dozen holdings worldwide 8 in North America.
