DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI, BRUNITURA E SEGNI DEL TEMPO. RARO. Memoria e invenzione, una dolorosa ironia e una tensione narrativa sempre raffrenata, mai eccessiva, danno un respiro ampio al primo romanzo di Becker, il quale coglie nella vicenda del commerciante polacco Jakob un paradosso esistenziale che trascende ogni contingenza storica e può rinnovarsi sempre e ovunque. Dal momento che vive in un mondo stravolto, degenerato, dove paradossalmente ciò che era normale risulta impensabile e la più orribile realtà diviene una necessità quotidiana, per essere creduto Jakob deve mentire e per dare una vera buona notizia deve inventare una storia fasulla. Grazie infatti alla bugia di possedere una radio, può comunicare agli altri membri del ghetto che i russi stanno riconquistando i territori occupati e che si avvicina così la liberazione. Ciò mette in moto una serie di reazioni a catena, emotive e pratiche, di cui il povero venditore si trova a essere il centro. Rinasce la speranza, il ghetto si rianima, e tuttavia la pietà da cui era nata la bugia non riesce a scongiurare il dramma, e l’illusione generale di riprendere una vita normale non impedisce il viaggio finale su un carro stretto e soffocante, verso una destinazione non a tutti ignota. Jurek Becker (1937-1997), nato a Lodz, in Polonia, da genitori ebrei, è scampato ai lager nazisti di Ravensbrück e Sachsenhausen. Trasferitosi nel dopoguerra a Berlino, nel 1978 ha lasciato la Germania orientale per quella occidentale. È stato spesso invitato a tenere lezioni e corsi nelle università estere. Jakob il bugiardo (pubblicato in Germania nel 1968 e in Italia nel 1976; Feltrinelli, 1996) ha vinto il premio Heinrich Mann nella Repubblica democratica tedesca e il premio Charles Veillon in Svizzera, è stato tradotto in varie lingue e la sua prima versione cinematografica è stata premiata al Festival di Berlino del 1975. Dal libro è stato anche tratto il film omonimo di Peter Kassovitz interpretato da Robin Williams (1999). Di Becker Feltrinelli ha inoltre pubblicato Amanda senza cuore (1994).

Original Paper Wrappers. Small 8vo. 276 pages. Ports. 21 cm. In Spanish. Title translates to English as, Janus Korczak: Teacher and Martyr. Korczak was a Polish author, educator, and social worker. Born into a wealthy and assimilated Warsaw family, qualified as a physician and soon became interested in the poor, working as a volunteer in summer camps for underprivileged children. In 1911 he became the head of a new Jewish orphanage in Warsaw. His educational approach, revolutionary in its time, gave children a system of self-government and the opportunity of producing their own newspaper, Maly Przeglad ("Little Journal") , which appeared as a weekly supplement to the Zionist daily Nasz Przeglad (192039) . His success prompted the authorities to secure his aid in establishing a parallel non-Jewish orphanage near Warsaw. With the rise of Hitler and the spread of antisemitism, Korczak's Jewish consciousness deepened and he became Poland's non-Zionist representative on the Jewish Agency. After the Nazi invasion of Poland, he strove to protect the orphanage in the Warsaw Ghetto, to which it had been transferred in 1940, and rescued many other hapless youngsters. He was sent to Treblinka, along with 200 of his orphans, where he died. EJ, 2007. Translated by Esther G. De Adin from the original Polish, Janus Korczak. Spine repaired and reinforced with tape.

One of them, the artist Menahem Shemi, organized an exhibition of drawings from the camps, which resulted in the publication of a booklet Jewesses in Slavery. This contained drawings by Lurie from Stutthof and Leibitz and was published by the Jewish Soldiers' Club of Rome in 1945. Lurie also created stage sets for the military song and dance group in the camp, which was founded by Eliahu Goldberg and Mordechai Zeira.

1st Edition. Original 7 1/2 X 9 1/2 Inch Wartime Photograph of Members of the Jewish Progressive Club in Atlanta. "The Jewish Progressive Club was established in 1913 by Russian Jews who felt unwelcome at the Standard Club that had been founded by German Jews in 1867. Its organizers set up a holding company with a capitalization of $25, 000 to invest in real estate. In 1916, they constructed on Pryor Street a clubhouse which included a hall for dances, a billiard room, and a swimming pool. It was one of the only clubs in America to express its Jewishness openly. The Jewish Progressive Club was less exclusive than the Standard Club, and also more affordable. Since membership dues were a mere three dollars per month, it was quite popular with the "Russian" Jews, who were welcomed as members. In comparison, the Standard Club a fifty dollar initiation fee and annual dues of forty two dollars. By 1924, the Jewish Progressive Clubs membership surpassed 500, and the building had to be expanded [Shankman, . 'Atlanta Jewry, 1900-1930.' American Jewish Archives Journal.
