10856Hardcover. A unique look at human sexuality and literary Romantic love in the early part of the twentieth century during the colonial and modernist eras. As noted by the famous French philosopher Michel Foucault in his "repressive hypothesis" the age of Victorian repression clearly produced non-traditional expressions of lust. The epistolary consists of an original diary and correspondence between two lovers from 1912 to approximately 1916. It is written primarily in English with some excerpts in Italian. The primary diarist is presumed to be an Italian officer during the colonial era of the early 20th century involving Italy Britain and the "Mad Mullah" in the Benadir region of East Africa. The other correspondent is probably a British lady living in Tuscany at the time. The epistolary includes more than one hundred original drawings of various sexual acts most of which are in color and include detailed descriptions of the scenes depicted. Some images are watercolors some pastels and others are simple pencil sketc. <br/><br/> hardcover books

191943051New York: Libreria Rossa N.d. ca 1919. First Edition. 12mo 18cm. Staple-bound pamphlet; printed thick paper wrappers; 24pp. Slight aging; mild creasing to spine; Very Good. Text entirely in Italian. Communist tract issued shortly after the Russian revolution calling for an immediate proletarian revolution in Italy with socialization of industry and agriculture; closure of borders to prevent the flight of the bourgeoisie; and the "management of the new society through a free arrangement of persons and competent groups" ".persone e di gruppi competenti interessati all soluzione di ogni singolo problema tecnico e sociale". The pseudonym "Emme" is unknown to us; nor is it certain from which "Libreria Rossa" this pamphlet originated - "libreria rossa" "red bookshop" being a common enough appelation among Italian-American radical booksellers of all political stripes during this period. One copy only in OCLC; not seen in commerce; not in Periconi. Libreria Rossa unknown books
197116792Roma: Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada 1971. First Edition. Lithographed poster offset in three colors; 100cm x 70cm ca 40" x 28"; on heavy paper. Minor toning; light creases at margins; Near Fine - Grade A/A-. A bit of a puzzle: the poster appears to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the formation of the Associazione Bandiera Rossa an Italian Trotskyist group; but the poster bears the imprint of the PCI the main-line Marxist-Leninist party in Italy -- an ideological implausibility even within the chaotic confines of Italian Marxism. Adding further to the confusion is a quotation from Antonio Gramsci founder of the PCI in upper right. In any case a terrific graphic attributed here to Luciano Prati whose name we encounter on a few late-70s Italian film posters but nowhere else. Duke University appears to be the only North American institution to hold a catalogued copy of this work. Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada unknown books
