1947144748Munich: Vidavnitstvi Prometei 1947. Octavo. Original printed wrappers. Minor soiling. Half title. Single portrait. Text block printed on poor paper but this example is quite clean and crisp overall. An excellent copy. This is the first Ukrainian edition of Orwell's classic anti Russian Anti Stalinist satirical allegorical novella. It was first published in August 17 1945 in London. Quite simply the plot revolves around the farm animals rising up against the farmer and trying to create a just and equal society. Orwell was very much influenced by the events in Stalinist Russia and he wrote the book in 1943/44. In 1946 Ivan Shevchenko wrote to Orwell asking him for his approval to publish a Ukrainian translation of the book. The translation was verbally done as the book was read aloud to Ukrainian Displaced Persons DP's who were amazed at the contents. The book was an immediate hit with the Ukrainian people but others were not too sure. Many copies were seized by the Americans and turned over to the Soviets who destroyed them. I am sure the DP's cherished the book and helped to see that copies were saved. The book has become quite rare due to the censorship and the poor production material. This particular copy belonged to a DP that emigrated to Canada after the war. They must have treasured it immensely. 1947 Vidavnitstvi Prometei unknown

Arion Press. large 8vo. three-piece cloth printed on front and back gilt stamped spine slipcase. 204 pages. One of 300 numbered copies signed by the artist. Fine in fine slipcase.<BR> <br /> <BR> <br /> A special edition of George Orwell's 1945 allegory with illustrations by Jonathan Hammer b. 1960 who worked for a time as a bookbinder at the Arion Press. As the Stanford University historian Peter Stansky writes in his introduction "Orwell is a writer of extraordinary power and this may be his greatest masterpiece a perfect text. As a fable about human nature it transcends the political era in which it was written. It is in so many ways a despairing book but it has such compassion and empathy. In the end there is still a glimmer that possibly some day we might create a better and more equal society." Composed in Monotype Times New Roman and letterpress printed on ivory Zerkall mouldmade paper. The 24 relief prints are letterpress printed from polymer plates made from films scratched by the artist with an etching needle for the black images and with photo-polymer plates made from overlay drawings in pencil for the red tints.

1935186134London: Victor Gollancz 1935. His first work of fiction First British edition of the author's first novel and second book following Down and Out in Paris and London 1933. Burmese Days was based on Orwell's service in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922 to 1927. The work was initially rejected by Gollancz amid concerns that its caustic critique of colonialism might be considered libellous to those portrayed so it was published in America the year previous to its publication in Britain. For the British edition Orwell changed the names of characters based on real people and wrote a new author's note spuriously claiming that "all the characters in this book are entirely fictitious". Cyril Connolly reviewed Burmese Days as "an admirable novel. It is a crisp fierce and almost boisterous attack on the Anglo-Indian. The author loves Burma he goes to great length to describe the vices of the Burmese and the horror of the climate but he loves it and nothing can palliate for him the presence of a handful of inefficient complacent public school types who make their living there. I liked it and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a spate of efficient indignation graphic description excellent narrative excitement and irony tempered with vitriol" New Statesman and Nation p. 18.

193520224London: Gollancz 1935. A first edition first printing of 'Burmese Days' published by Gollancz in 1935. A very good - spotting to the prelims and to the page edges - some light staining to the boards. No inscriptions - some wear to the corners. Burmese Days is a novel by George Orwell published in 1934. Set in 1920s British-occupied Burma it offers a critique of British colonialism. The story revolves around John Flory a disillusioned British timber merchant who befriends Dr. Veraswami a local Indian doctor. Flory's struggle against the racist attitudes of his fellow Europeans particularly the bigoted U Po Kyin forms the novel's core conflict. Flory's relationship with Elizabeth Lackersteen a young Englishwoman adds personal drama to his ethical dilemmas. The novel portrays the corrupt and oppressive nature of colonial rule highlighting the moral and spiritual decay it causes in both the colonisers and the colonised. Orwell drawing on his own experiences as a police officer in Burma uses Burmese Days to explore themes of power racism and the impact of imperialism on individual lives. Gollancz hardcover
