191887406Granite City IL: Съюзната Соц. Книжарница и Печатница = Union Social Bookstore and Printing House 1918. First Bulgarian Edition in America. 12mo. Brown woven cloth titled in black on spine and front cover; 134pp. Trace of rubbing at spine ends still a tight Very Good or better copy. <br /> <br /> Translation into Bulgarian of Trotsky's "The Bolsheviki and World Peace" made from the English version published by Boni & Liveright earlier the same year. The Boni edition was in fact a new translation from the German of Trotsky's 1914 pamphlet "The War and the International." Whether this translation was made with Boni & Liveright's permission or even knowledge is questionable though the verso of the title page does credit B&L with the original copyright. <br /> <br /> Granite City Illinois just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis in the extreme southwestern corner of the state was founded in 1896 as a company town by the Niedringhaus Brothers manufacturers of graniteware kitchen utensils. Between 1906 and 1908 the city became a destination for immigrant laborers from Bulgaria Macedonia and Hungary; by the early 1910s it was known as the Bulgarian Capital of America boasting the country's only general-circulation Bulgarian-language newspaper. The presence of so many working-class Slavic speakers made Granite City a natural target for radical organizing and a number of socialist presses thrived there during the first three decades of the Twentieth Century. <br /> <br /> Like all Granite City imprints we've encountered the current title is scarce and is of special interest for likely being the earliest Slavic-language printing of Trotsky's text in North America.

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.

After four years in Turkey Trotsky lived briefly in France and then Norway and in 1936 was granted asylum in Mexico where he settled with his family in a suburb of Mexico City Three years later during Stalin’s purges of his political foes Trotsky was found guilty of treason in absentia. He survived a machine-gun attack on his home but on August 20 1940 fell prey to a Spanish Communist Ramon Mercader who fatally wounded him with an ice-pick. Trotsky died from his wounds the next day.

1930035896NY: Scribner's. 1930. The first American edition with Scribner's "A" on the copyright page. With the 1930 ownership signature of Joseph Barnes. We can offer no direct provenance but a Joseph Barnes author of Willkie: The Events He Was Part Of The Ideas He Fought For was a translator of Russian authors for a number of years and a recipient of the PEN translation award. According to his obituary in the New York Times in 1928 he made an extensive tour of the Soviet Union on which he reported for The New York World. On the staff of the Institute of Pacific Relations from 1931 to 1934 he visited Russia Manchuria Japan and China; he edited “Empire in the East†by 12 members of the American Council of the Institute published in 1934. Barnes joined The Herald Tribune in 1935. He went abroad as Moscow correspondent in 1937 wrote a series on Siberia in 1938 and then went to Berlin as correspondent. He returned to the U.S. at the end of 1939 and in 1940-41 was foreign news editor. From 1941 to 1944 he served as deputy director of the overseas branch of the office of War Information. In 1951 he cited his clearance for that position to counter accusations from McCarthy's House Un-American Activities Committee. He eventually joined Simon & Schuster as an executive editor. Again we can not prove that this Barnes is that Barnes. A New Republic review of the book from 1930 is laid in much acidified and split into pieces at the folds. The book itself shows mild foxing to the prelims fading to the board edges and spine and handling to the covers including a partial cup ring. The binding is sound. A very good copy lacking the dust jacket. Unless otherwise noted our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Scribner's hardcover
