In 16, pp. 47 + (1b). Lieve abrasione al p. ant. Sottolineature con lapis blu e rosso n.t. Br. ed. Seconda ed. italiana, rarissima (prima trad. italiana, Alessandria, Piccone, 1890) di questo noto pamphlet di Lafargue, secondo per importanza solo a 'Il diritto dell'ozio', uscito in ed. orig. nel 1897. In queste due opere Lafargue procede ad una diffusione del pensiero marxista che attechira' maggiormente tra le masse piuttosto che nell'ambiente dirigenziale del movimento. Anzi, su Lafargue peseranno anche giudizi poco benevoli da parte di chi lo accusera' di essere incline alla frivolezza, alla leggerezza, alle fantasie artistiche, nonche' grossolano ed esageratore. Nella Religione del capitale, Lafargue parla di una 'mistica' del lavoro sfrenato che gli operai, sempre piu' succubi, accettano passivamente. Questa mistica e' fatta di preghiere e professioni di fede in un vero e proprio catechismo imposto al salariato. Secondo l'A., l'ideale sarebbe una giornata lavorativa di tre ore; la riduzione dell'orario di lavoro comporterebbe un guadagmo sia per i salariati sia per i capitalisti (Cfr. 'Inventiva e invettiva nell'Ottocento francese...', p. 126-127).

Original Illustrated Wraps. 12mo. 96 pages. 19 cm. First edition. On cover: Y. Bovshover's poezyen. With frontispiece portrait of Bovshover. Poetic Works by Joseph Bovshover, a very early imprint of his poems, published in London by the anarchist Yiddish publisher Frayheyt Group. Joseph Bovshover (1873-1915) was born in Lubavitch, near Mogilev, White Russia, in a very Orthodox family, but left for America at age 18, and became a furrier in New York. He had a good job but began to write anarchist, revolutionary poems in Yiddish and to read them aloud in his shop. He was fired and worked as a journalist and tutor. He was considered the heir of Edelshtat, who had just died. Bovshover knew English very well and translated his own poetry and published it in English language periodicals. As a result he achieved some fame in the non-Jewish world too, but soon after began to suffer from a mental illness, and entered a mental hospital in 1899, where he remained until his death. His poetry, like Edelshtat's, was anarchist and revolutionary, and became popular throughout the Jewish world. (U Texas gottesman) Subjects: Yiddish poetry. Yiddish anarchism Sweatshop Poets.

The first issue includes coverage of the Ford Hunger March in which 5 protesting workers were shot to death by Ford Company guards outside the gates of the River Rouge Plant.<br/><br/>Rare; we find no examples in the trade July 2015 with one location only in OCLC Library of Michigan; not found in the North American Union List of Serials 1939 ed.

Printed card wrappers; 127pp. Very mild external wear; faint spotting to a few pages of text; Near Fine in the original wrappers. Probable first printing in America of Trotsky's account of the October revolution. English editions appeared the same year in London and Brooklyn but it is likely that this German-language version translated from the Russian by German-American scholar Jacob Wittmer Hartmann precedes any English edition. Interestingly a German translation had already appeared in Berlin in 1918 but the German-language group of the Socialist Party commissioned this new translation from Hartmann for the American edition.
