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
