1956WRCLIT46354London: Associated British Picture Corporation Ltd. 1956. 1114 leaves foolscap. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only punched in left margin and string-tied into plain wrappers with typed label. Wrappers a bit sunned and used at overlap edges with a bit of loss at toe of spine and ragged tear at one punch-hole internally about fine. A post-production release script for the 1956 British film adaptation of Orwell's novel recording the dialogue timing and cinematic details of the final version of the film. Directed by Michael Anderson and starring Edmond O'Brien Jan Sterling Michael Redgrave Donald Pleasance et al this b&w adaptation captured the dingy bleakness of Orwell's vision of the future and served its origin well. The film is itself rather elusive these days and any scripts and publicity paper associated with it even more so. This is denoted "Copy No. 38" of the release script.

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

The upper wrapper has a large and disagreeable splashy coffee cup ringmark that is shadowed through the first blank and faintly on the half- title so just a fair copy in all other regards sound and very good. Advance "confidential" reading copy of the first American edition. The number of recipients who shared in the "confidentiality" of receiving copies is not readily accessible but experience suggests there were quite a significant number of them.

Signed by Bill Mayer without inscription on limitation page. 2017 Full-Leather. 218 pp. Brown full leather gilt and green titles and decorations all edges gilt marbled endpapers ribbon marker bound in. 10 tipped in color plates by Bill Mayer produced specially for this edition. A satirical look at Soviet totalitarianism using animals on a farm as an allegorical device. The revision of history by those in power is a theme that returns in Orwell's famous dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. While the setting of Animal Farm does not quite fit the parameters of a dystopian society Orwell's work here seems to progress directly toward the speculations about future society in Nineteen Eighty-Four common themes being the will to power power's corrupting influence and the obliteration of history.
