34,5x27 cm; disegno poi dipinto con colori ad olio in bianco e nero. Opera satirica graffiante del celebre illustratore, giornalista e caricaturista socialista, Gabriele Galantara (Montelupone in provincia di Macerata, 18 ottobre 1865 – Roma, 10 gennaio 1937) considerato fra i più grandi caricaturisti italiani. Nato in una famiglia di nobili origini ma ormai decaduta, i suoi avi avevano preso parte attiva ai moti risorgimentali. Pur seguendo gli studi con alterne fortune, dimostrò fin da giovanissimo una propensione per il disegno e le arti figurative, propensione che coltivò anche durante gli studi presso l’univeristà di Bologna nella facoltà di Matematica. E’ proprio qui a Bologna che conosce Guido Poderecca che divine suo grande amico e con il quale fonda il celebre giornale satirico, “L’Asino”. Il suo esordio artistico è da far risalire al 1886, quando fece il suo esordio sulla carta stampata come disegnatore pubblicando alcune sue vignette, con lo pseudonimo di Blitz, sul settimanale umoristico «Ehi ch'al scusa», fondato da Alfredo Testoni nel 1879, un giornale di frivolezze e pettegolezzi non privo di pretese artistiche. Nel 1888, in occasione dell'ottavo centenario dell'Università di Bologna, insieme con l'amico Podrecca diede vita al settimanale satirico «Bononia ridet», mentre collaborava anche contemporaneamente al celebre periodico umoristico bolognese “La Rana”. La fama del giornale era tale che quando nel 1891 scoppiarono moti operai, appoggiati dagli studenti, Poderecca e Galantara vennero incarcerati per lacuni giorni con l’accusa di esser stati gli istigatori dei moti (non sarà l’ultima volta che Galantara verrà arrestato per ragioni politiche). Ma è sicuramente con la nascita del giornale satirico “L’Asino” che Poderecca e Galantara raggiunsero il massimo del successo. Dal 1896 collabora attivamente e regolarmente con “L’Avanti”. Dal 1905 collaborò anche con «L'Assiette au Beurre», noto periodico francese di satira sociale. Dopo una serie di contrasti con l’amico Poderecca legati alla guerra Italo-Turca, osteggiata da Galantara e vista positivamente da Poderecca, i due tornarono in sintonia alla vigilia dell’entrata in guerra dell’Italia nel primo conflitto mondiale, appoginado attivamente l’interventismo anche se Galantara nel 1912 a causa delle sue posizioni, era stato espulso dal PSI. "Diede il suo apporto alla causa interventista e alla propaganda di guerra con le caricature, divenute famose, di "Guglielmone" e di "Cecco Beppe" e predicando l'ostilità verso la "barbarie teutonica". Le sue vignette vennero ripubblicate su altri giornali dei paesi dell'Intesa e furono esposte nel luglio 1916 alle "Leicester Galleries" di Londra; altre vignette apparvero sul periodico parigino «L'Europe antiprussienne» e sul giornale di trincea «Signor sì»". Dopo la guerra, le sempre maggiori simpatie di Poderecca per il movimento fascista, isolano sempre di più Galantara che riprende la pubblicazione in solitaria dell’Asino (dopo alcuni anni di chiusura), nel 1921 su posizione apertamente antifasciste che inevitabilmente ne sancirono la chiusura nel 1925, dopo una lunga serie di persecuzioni e minacce. Nel 1926 Galantara viene di nuovo arrestato e condannato al confino, pena poi commutata in libertà vigilata con la proibizione di svolgere attività giornalistica. La bella vignetta satirica illustra un grassissimo prete che dal’assoluzione dei peccati ad un vecchio magrissimo a sua volta sormontato da un magrissimo Cristo crocifisso. I disegni satirici di Galantara non sono comuni.
In 8, pp. (2) + VI + 212. Umidita' al marg. est. delle prime 4 cc. Gora ad alcune cc. centrali. Br. ed. con manc. al marg. est. del p. ant. Ed. orig. di questa curiosa opera di derivazione fourierista, dedicata ai vantaggi della vita comunitaria e indirizzata in particolare ai vedovi e ai celibi. Harel nelle prime due sezioni presenta i vantaggi, sia fisici (perlopiu' legati alla nutrizione e alla salute) che morali (l'autore condanna l'abitudine del cenare, soli, ai tavoli di un ristorante) del vivere in comunita'. Nella terza affronta l'organizzazione della casa stessa. Testo di grande attualita' che propone, in parte, le modalita' legate ad un modello di decrescita ante litteram. Pur puntando molto sui meccanismi utilitaristici del progetto (fare piu' cose con minor dispendio) si intravedeno sullo sfondo la personalita' di Fourier e le sue dottrine. In tutta la prima parte viene anche esaminato il vantaggio nell'acquisto diretto delle derrate da parte di un nutrito consesso di partecipanti, al fine di evitare le molte truffe commerciali e contribuire cosi' ad una migliore conservazione della propria salute.

In-12, demi-maroquin noir, dos à 5 nerfs orné de compartiments garnis d'un fleuron central répété entre-nerfs, titre doré, daté en pied, couverture et dos conservés (rel. moderne), xi, 352 p., photographie frontispice en héliogravure d'après photo. Edition originale, un des 100 exemplaires sur grand papier de Hollande (n°93). Ouvrier teinturier, libraire, journaliste, l'un des fondateurs de l’Internationale, membre de la Commune, coopérateur, franc-maçon, Benoît Malon (1841-1893) est l'une des principales figures du socialisme français de la période. A partir de 1876, il se rapprocha des marxistes et collabora à 'L’Egalité' de Jules Guesde. De retour en France après l’amnistie, il adhéra au Parti ouvrier pour le quitter trois ans après. Face à un socialisme divisé, il tenta de favoriser, par le pluralisme, l’unité du mouvement ouvrier. Conscient des dangers que constituait l'aventure boulangiste, il rallia le camp républicain et la Société des droits de l’homme afin de défendre le régime. Il s’affirma comme l'un des théoriciens et vulgarisateurs du socialisme français, en particulier à travers ces "lundis socialistes", exposé de son projet politique. Sa pensée, qui a marqué plusieurs générations de militants, annonce le socialisme humaniste de Jaurès. (Maitron, VII, p. 233. Stammhammer, II, p. 202). Très bel exemplaire parfaitement relié en demi-maroquin, très frais, entièrement non rogné, témoins conservés, un des 100 exemplaires sur grand papier de Hollande.

Very Good Arabic First book of three of the first edition of this early set on Egyptian working class and Arabian labour, printed in Cairo by one of the pioneer intellectual Amin Izz al-Din, (1921-2001). This rare book includes the formative period of the Egyptian working class especially between the years 1882-1919, from the British occupation of Egypt in 1882 which was crystallized many of the economic trends which had been maturing since the era of Muhammad Ali Pasha of Kavala (1769-1849), to Tawra [i.e. The Egyptian Revolution of 1919] which was a countrywide revolution against the British occupation of Egypt and Sudan. It was carried out by Egyptians from different walks of life in the wake of the British-ordered exile of the revolutionary Egyptian Nationalist leader Saad Zaghlul, and other members of the Wafd Party in 1919. Before the Revolution, by 1914 foreign capital represented 70 per cent of the total capital invested in Egypt. According to Izz al-Din, from 1899 to 1903 at least eight workers' associations were formed, mainly under Greek, Italian and Armenian leadership. But the steady expansion of capitalist relations of production in Egypt and the continuing British occupation provided the conditions which soon led to the appearance of native Egyptian working-class organization and leadership. The crash of 1907 produced a sharp rise in the cost of living and provided the economic incentive for another round of working-class struggle. At the same time, the Egyptian national movement was about to assert itself as a significant new political force. The conjuncture of these factors was the basis for sustained struggle and organization of native Egyptian workers. [.] The strike wave led to the formation of new and more soundly organized unions. There were 43 trade unions functioning in 1919-1920: 19 in Cairo, 18 in Alexandria, and 6 in Port Said, Damietta, Damanhour and Mahalla al-Kubra. [.] In the mid-1920s many enterprises fired workers and attempted, with some success, to disregard or revise agreements reached with trade unions in the first years after the 1919 uprising. There were series of strikes in 1927 in response to these actions - the Alexandria Water Company, Alexandria Tram Company, railway porters, silk weavers, Cairo cigarette workers and Suez Canal workers at Port Said. But by 1927 the number of trade unions had dropped to 62 with a total membership of somewhat more than 21,000. (Source: Formation of the Egyptian Working Class / MERIP). Amin Izz al-Din was a thinker and historian of the Egyptian trade union movement and a prominent historian of the Egyptian labour movement. He was one of the most prominent popular and labour leaders, and he has spent his life serving this movement. Izz al-Din held various leadership positions in the interest of workers and social security, as well as political organizations, as he previously worked in the Office of Arab Affairs at the Presidency of the Republic, and contributed to drafting labour legislation in 1970 and laying the foundations on which the Federation of Egyptian Workers was based. Bachelor of Arts from Cairo University, and a Masters degree from Oxford University British Labour Studies: A number of books have been written, foremost of which is "The History of the Egyptian Working Class", in 3 parts.

Very Good Arabic Half leather bound in Egyptian style raised six bands to spine, Arabic lettered gilt in second and fourth. 'Abdelzehar Binding' stamp on back endpaper. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Arabic. 179, [1] p. First Arabic edition of Kartun's 'Africa! Africa! A continent rises to its feet' which describes the struggle for freedom in British colonial Africa in the face of horrible pressures. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kartun was the improbable combination of a leftist activist, a captain of industry, a Daily Worker journalist and an author of spy thrillers. Kartun was the son of a Russian-French father and a Polish-English mother. He was born into the world of the cultured bourgeoisie, his uncle being the pianist and conductor Léon Kartun. His father had left Paris Conservatoire when he realized that he would not be one of the great violinists of his generation, and went on to become a successful designer and trader of jewelry. He was sent to England for his schooling, first to a prep school in Redhill, where the combination of being bookish, Jewish, and French proved a hindrance to popularity, and then to St Paul's, where he instead flourished and claimed to be the school's first Jewish boy. As what should have been his sixth form years coincided with a temporary reversal of his father's fortunes, and he was set to work in an advertising agency, later on finding himself working a job on writing scripts for B movies for MGM, where he met Claude Cockburn (see separate entry). Becoming a contributor to Cockburn's scurrilous newssheet The Week merely led him into the Communist Party for the next two decades of his life. Bad eyesight confined him to civilian duties during the war but he wrote several books while in the Communist Party, including Tito's plot against Europe: The story of the Raik Conspiracy (1949), This is America (1947), and Africa, Africa! (1954). He became foreign editor of The Daily Worker, writing for the Party on a wide range of allied themes. He contributed a piece on the French political scene in April 1946 for Raji Dutt's Labour Monthly, when he replaced his brother, Clemens Dutt in March 1945 and joined the staff of the Daily Worker for the first time as its European correspondent, based in Paris. He was initially expelled from France by the Ministry of the Interior only a few hours after arriving! Kartun later covered the birth of the state of Israel, being present during the Siege of Jerusalem in April 1948. (Source: Independent - Obituary: Derek Kartun). [FIRST ARABIC EDITION OF 'AFRICA!

Very Good Chinese Original offset lithograph poster showing Mao and Chen Yi on the same table, when they meet with foreign guests in Zhongnanhai in 1957. This poster is printed in 1959 as it's hand-colored. 51x75 cm. Descriptive text on right in Chinese. Folded Chen Yi was a Chinese communist military commander and politician. He served as Mayor of Shanghai from 1949 to 1958 and as Foreign Minister of China from 1958 to 1972. Hou Bo (1924-2017) was a Chinese photographer who, with her husband Xu Xiaobing, was among the best-known photographers of Mao Zedong. Born into a poor peasant family, Hou Bo joined the Communist Party at the age of fourteen and learned photography during the Second Sino-Japanese War in order to present a better image of the Party's work to the world. After 1949, she and Xu Xiaobing lived in the same compound as Mao and took both official photos, some used for posters and publicity, which became the most widely circulated photos of Mao, and some family photos, taken informally behind the scenes. Among her best-known photographs are "The Founding of the PRC" (1949), "Mao Zedong Swimming Across the Yangzi" (1955), "Chairman Mao at Work in an Airplane" (1959), and "Mao Zedong with Students from Latin America" (1959), which won First Prize in the National Photography Exhibition of 1959.
Very Good Arabic Early Arabic translation and the first Egyptian edition of "Une E?te? africain" novel by Dib, printed in 1959 firstly in French, translated by Egyptian translator Mohammad Bukhârî. An African summer is an early novel about his childhood and youth by Dib and it retains the realistic mode of expression in his description of a people in revolt. Mohammed Dib was an Algerian author, playwriter, and intellectual who was a member of the Generation of '52 - a group of Algerian writers which included Albert Camus and Mouloud Feraoun. In 1959, he was expelled from Algeria by the French authorities for his support for Algerian independence, and also because of the success of his novels (which depicted the reality of life in colonial Algeria for most Algerians). Instead of moving to Cairo as many Algerian nationalists had, he decided to live in France, where he was allowed to stay after various writers (including Camus) lobbied the French government.

Very Good Arabic Early edition of this critical edition of Saad Zagloul's memoirs prepared by Mustafa al-Nahhas Jabr Pasha. Zaghloul was an Egyptian revolutionary and statesman, who was the leader of Egypt's nationalist Wafd Party. He served as Prime Minister of Egypt from 26 January 1924 to 24 November 1924. By working as a Europeanized lawyer, Zaghloul gained both wealth and status in a traditional framework of upward mobility. Despite this, Zaghloul success can equally be attributed to his familiarity with the Egyptian countryside and its many idioms. In 1918, he became politically active, as the founding leader of the Wafd Party, for which he was later arrested. Zaghloul became increasingly active in nationalist movements, and in 1919 he led an official Egyptian delegation (or wafd, the name of the political party he would later form) to the Paris Peace Conference demanding that the United Kingdom formally recognize the independence and unity of Egypt and Sudan (which had been united as one country under Muhammad Ali Pasha). The British in turn demanded that Zaghloul end his political agitation. When he refused, they exiled him to Malta, and later to Seychelles. In 1922, he was moved from Seychelles and was taken to Gibraltar due to ill health arriving there onboard HMS Curlew and he was released in 1923. Zaghloul's absence caused disturbances in Egypt, ultimately leading to the Egyptian Revolution of 1919. Upon his return from exile, Zaghloul led the Egyptian nationalist forces. Mu??afâ al-Nahhâs Pasha, (1879-1965), a statesman who, as the leader of the nationalist Wafd party, was a dominant figure in Egyptian politics until the revolution of 1952. A lawyer by profession, Na??âs was appointed a judge in the National Court at ?an?â in 1914. Soon after World War I he joined the recently formed Wafd; he was exiled with Sa'd Zaghlul in the early 1920s, and assumed the chairmanship upon Zaghlul's death in 1927. An imitation leather bdg., Arabic lettered gilt on front board. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Arabic. 280, [2] p., a portrait of Zaghloul, b/w ills. Offset lithography.

In-8, demi-veau rouge de l'époque, dos romantique orné de 4 faux nerfs plats guillochés or, d'un grand décor à froid, de fers au noir, palettes en tête et en pied, titre doré, tranches marbrées, 431 p., rousseurs. Edition originale de cet ouvrage pionnier, l'un des premiers parmi ses contemporains, à remettre en cause la charité comme remède à la misère ouvrière. Duchâtel se penche sur la condition économique des populations ouvrières autrement que sous l'angle de la mendicité, de la délinquance ou de la surpopulation urbaine et constate, sans état d'âme, le rapport d'inégalité fondamental dans lequel se trouve l'ouvrier sur le marché du travail. Comme remède, il propose un malthusianisme conforme à la doctrine de Malthus et non aux interprétations erronées qui ont été tirées de son oeuvre. L'ouvrage eut un grand retentissement. Ministre du Commerce, Duchâtel avait composé cette étude en réponse à un concours de l’Académie des sciences morales et politiques. (Aynard, p. 76 sq. Rigaudias-Weiss, 'Enquêtes ouvrières', p. 252. Granier, 95). Exemplaire bien relié.

Homme politique, médecin, Ange Guépin (1805-1873) fut saint-simonien, sympathisant du fouriérisme et du communisme de Cabet. Franc-maçon, attentif au combat du droit des femmes, abolitionniste en matière d'esclavage, il se montra militant enthousiaste de l'association. Il joua, de plus, un rôle de premier plan dans la vie politique et sociale de Nantes au XIXe siècle. Dans cet ouvrage-fleuve, Ange Guépin retrace l'histoire des idées philosophiques, économiques et sociales des sociétés humaines et s'affirme comme le continuateur des idéaux de Saint-Simon, de Pierre Leroux et de Fourier. Une intéressante partie est consacrée à une interprétation organiciste des sociétés humaines. Cet ouvrage valut à l'auteur d'être révoqué de son poste de médecin et d'être traduit devant le Conseil académique. Cf. Michel Aussel, 'Le docteur Ange Guépin.

New York, No Publisher (United Hebrew Trades) , 1928. Paper Wrappers, Large 4to, 160 pages. 30 cm. In Yiddish. Includes beautiful cover art and period ads and portrait photos. Feinstone (1878-1945),was born in Warsaw and trained as a woodcarver there. "After completing school he emigrated to England where he became president of a woodcarvers' union in London (1895). Later in Birmingham he was active in the beginnings of the British Labour Party. In 1910 Feinstone emigrated to the U.S. where he found employment in various skilled trades, securing permanent work in the umbrella industry. He soon became an official of the Umbrella Handle and Stick Makers' Union and an important figure in the United Hebrew Trades, an organization which sheltered the smaller and weaker American Jewish trade unions. Feinstone was a close associate of the organization's outstanding leader, Max Pine, whom he succeeded as United Hebrew Trades' secretary in 1928. Feinstone continued Pine's policy of supporting the socialist labor sector in Jewish Palestine through the Histadrut. He also represented the United Hebrew Trades on the executive board of the Central Trades and Labor Council of Greater New York, wrote articles in the New York Call and the Yiddish Jewish Daily Forward endorsing socialism and labor Zionism, and worked for the establishment of an independent labor party. With the advent of the New Deal, Feinstone's socialist teachings were incorporated by the American Labor Party, which satisfied his desire for a working class political organization. Thereafter, until his death he concentrated on obtaining support for Jewish labor in Palestine" (Melvyn Dubofsky in EJ). SUBJECT(S):Jewish labor unions -- United States.
