Likely the first separate American printing of this essay which was first published in the May 1946 issue of Polemic. In this critical discussion Orwell born Eric Arthur Blair 1903-50 acknowledges that the general drift has "almost certainly been towards oligarchy" and "an increasing concentration of industrial and financial power" but criticizes the tendency of Burnham's "power-worship" and comments upon the failures in analysis that arise from it. As biographer Michael Shelden observed "Orwell was always at his best when he was on the attack and his Polemic essay on Burnham is a brilliant criticism of the whole concept of power worship." Preceded by publisher's remarks by James Robertson of the Berkeley Young Socialist League the influential leftist campus group. The recto of the rear wrapper includes the YSL Statement of Principles along with a mailing form with the organization's Berkeley and New York addresses. Mimeographed 2 15 p.

51109Pariz: Instytut literacki 1953. Octavo 20 à 13.5 cm. Original printed card wrappers; 254 2 pp. Very good. First Polish translation of this Orwell classic by the prominent journalist and activist Julius Mieroszewski 1906-1976. The novel was banned in Communist Poland with the first official translation appearing only in 1988. This translation for the Polish émigré community was published in Paris in 1953 and served as the base text for numerous underground or "second circulation" editions in Poland throughout the 1980s. <br/><br/>During WWII Mieroszewski worked for the Polish Government in Exile eventually settling in London and famously writing for the English section of the Polish émigré journal "Kultura" which was based in Paris. Mieroszewski was himself a socialist and much like Orwell strongly opposed the Soviet Communist dictatorship thereby being especially well suited to translating this work as well as the works of other socialist writers such as Bertrand Russell and Arnold Toynbee. <br/><br/>Scarce in the trade. unknown books
