P4884Neapoli i.e. Bern: Presso Giacomo Palpiri i.e. V. I. Bakst 1863. Octavo 17.8 à 11 cm. Recent paper-covered card binding; part of front wrapper affixed to front board; 5 109 pp. Internally very good. First complete Russian translation of Heine's "Das Buch Le Grand" 1927. The work had been previously published in Russia but as the translator notes with significant cuts by the censor which greatly distorted Heine's humor and wit. Originally published in 1927 "Das Buch Le Grand" was the second of Heine's "Reisebilder". It is a work which embraces the spirit of Napoleon and the French Revolution and it served to cement his reputation as a witty leader among liberal German writers. It was This new edition was published in Bern Switzerland using a fictitious imprint at the printer's shop of V. I. Bakst founded in 1862 to satisfy a growing need for revolutionary and other illegal materials which could not be printed in Russia. Bakst was also instrumental in setting up a St. Petersburg illegal typography in 1862. A somewhat censored and shortened edition of Mainov's translation appeared in Moscow the same year. Ironically given Heine's own issues with censorship and his literary fate in nineteenth-century Russia this translation reproduces the fictitious censored passage in the original in which Heine composed a paragraph of dashes leaving only the words "The German censors. Idiots." KVK OCLC only show the copies at Humboldt Universität SLUB Dresden and Universitätsbibliothek J. C. Senckenberg. Not at the Russian State or National Libraries. unknown books

19231344Heine Heinrich. 1799-1856. <b>Der Rabbi von Bacherach</b> mit Originallithographien von Max Liebermann. Berlin: Im Prophlaen Verlag 1923. #279 of 400 with signed frontispiece and limitation page by Liebermann and 17 full or partial page lithographs in black. The first 100 were printed on Japan Vellum. <br /><br />Folio. Publisher's half-morocco with title in gold with yellow board sides bearing a lithograph on the upper cover. Printed on laid paper. Original open slipcase with paper label joints split. 58p. Fine copy with a touch of wear to spine ends. <b>The Rabbi of Bacharach</b> set in the middle ages is Heine's unfinished novel that describes the ordeal of Rabbi Abraham and his wife in the small town of Bacharach Germany . <br /><br />Gentiles come to the Passover Seder in order to secretly plant a body of a Christian child. They will accuse the Rabbi of ritual murder. Then when he is taken away they will rob his home. The rabbi and his "schönne" beautiful Sarah manage to leave their home during an interval in the seder and run to the river docks. They are then transported for a fee down the Mainz to Frankfurt where they enter into the Jewish quarter without incident. In that quarter life is fully described with all its variety and color. <br /><br /> This unfinished story remains popular because it pictures life in the medieval Jewish community with detailed description of worship customs and pecking orders as well as dress manners and a variety of activities within the Jewish quarter. Liebermann's realistic sketchbook style depicts scenes with a charcoal drawing like simplicity. The stark flat depiction creates an atmosphere of dark foreboding. <br /><br />The 19th century poet Emma Lazarus wrote a biographical sketch of Heine that includes commentary on The Rabbi of Bacharach: "During the period of his earnest labors for Judaism Heine had buried himself with fervid zeal in the lore of his race and had conceived the idea of a prose-legend the Rabbi of Bacharach illustrating the persecutions of his people during the middle ages. Heine one of the most subjective of poets treats this theme in a purely objective manner. He does not allow himself a word of comment much less of condemnation concerning the outrages he depicts. He paints the scene as an artist not as the passionate fellow-sufferer and avenger that he is. But what subtle eloquence lurks in that restrained cry of horror and indignation which never breaks forth and yet which we feel through every line gathering itself up like thunder on the horizon for a terrific outbreak at the end!" <br /><br />Refer: Lazarus Emma 1849-1887 From the Biographical Sketch of the life of Heinrich Heine reprinted in The Rabbi of Bacharach by Heinrich Heine.
