1963253457New York 1963. unbound. All three of these one-page letters were written in New York City in 1963 to Italian-born left-wing political activist and publisher Carl Aldo Marzani concerning a prospective book Marzani was attempting to finalize. The first letter measures 11 x 8.5 inches and is dated January 7 1963 in small part: "I write with regret to say that all my friends agree that I better not write an introduction for your book. I am sorry that I have to consider the question whether my contributing would do more to hurt my general usefulness in this field. Roger Baldwin who was one of those with whom I discussed the matter made an interesting suggestion; namely that you try to get some person so far outside the general radical area that he would not have to consider the problem as I have to consider it.I hope you won't mind my saying in conclusion that there is a real trouble in the fact that communism in power goes so far beyond what is done here in the denial of freedom. Incidentally communism not in power has tried hard to keep me from speaking on various occasions." The second letter measures 8.5 x 5.5 inches and is dated January 8 1963 in part: ".Yes I am perfectly willing to be quoted as saying your book is 'original entertaining and effective' on the flap of the jacket.I hope you and Deutscher's opinion are right about what Russia will become. I am right in holding that we who hold civil liberties cannot have a double standard on judgment." The third letter measures 11 x 8.5 inches and is dated February 11 1963 in part: ".I am glad you are making progress with your book. Objectively I expect that there will be among the 'emerging' nations.a great deal of the sort of thing exemplified by Nkrumah but I would be entirely untrue to my deepest sense of values if I didn't protest it and I do not believe evolution out of this autocratic dictatorship will be fast except as it is protested.I by no means put what Nkrumah does in Africa on all fours with what Stalin did in Russia in the name of socialism." The recipient of these letters Carl Aldo Marzani 1912 - 1994 was a Communist Party organizer volunteer soldier in the Lincoln Brigade a member of the OSS and an employee of the U.S. Department of State. He is credited with picking the targets for the Doolittle raid on Tokyo as well as serving three years in Federal prison for having concealed his Communist Party USA CPUSA membership while in the OSS.

Prima edizione First Edition. <em><strong>Intimate Distance</strong> è"; la prima monografia completa che racconta la carriera dell'acclamato fotografo americano Todd Hido. Sebbene abbia pubblicato molte monografie più piccole dedicate a singoli cicli di lavoro questo volume raccoglie per la prima volta le sue immagini più iconiche e porta una nuova prospettiva nella sua opera con l'inclusione di molte fotografie inedite. Famoso per le sue fotografie di paesaggi e abitazioni suburbane statunitensi e per il suo uso di colori luminosi Hido dimostra un occhio decisamente cinematografico che scava profondamente nella sua memoria e nella sua immaginazione. David Campany presenta il suo lavoro ed esamina in particolare le influenze cinematografiche di Hido e il tipo di spettatore più adatto a recepire il suo lavoro. Il libro è organizzato in ordine cronologico mostrando come le sue serie si sovrappongano in modi nuovi ed entusiasmanti. Sono anche presenti brevi interviste con Hido sulla realizzazione di ciascuna delle sue monografie. Dall'esterno all'interno dalle osservazioni superficiali alle indagini inconsce dai paesaggi ai nudi questo saggio di metà carriera rivela informazioni sulla pratica di Hido e illustra come la sua attenzione si è" sviluppata e mossa nel tempo.</em><em><br /></em> Aperture, hardcover

1996219091Munchen: Schirmer/Mosel 1996. Brossura wrappers. Ottimo Fine. Introduzione di John Coplan. 335 fotografie in bianco e nero di Weegee. Biografia Bibliografia. 4to cm 29 x 23. pp. 335. Ottimo Fine. . <em>Legendary photojournalist Weegee's unflinching eye led him to territory few other photographers of his time dared to go. His New York was not the glamorous world of nightclubs and bustling sidewalks but of the back alleys and forgotten tenements that bore witness to the city's tragedy and violence. Weegee's New York is a city wounded by the Great Depression in the throes of unemployment and poverty of crime corruption and prostitution. Taken mostly at night and marked by the characteristically harsh artificial light that cast telltale shadows on their subjects these photographs of crime victims homeless vagrants petty thieves and resolute policemen document the gritty reality of Weegee's world. The first news photographer permitted a police radio in his car Weegee would race through Manhattan's streets after midnight often beating the cops to the scene of the crime. The next morning his pictures would scream from the pages of the Daily News and the Daily Mirror. They still jump from the page today with a restless an immediacy and intense edginess that has yet to be surpassed. The 335 photographs collected in this volume tell a story of New York during one of its most violent and exciting periods. They also tells the story of the man behind the camera whose passion curiosity and humanity belie his role as uninvolved bystander. More than a record of superb photojournalism Weegee's New York is a te! stament to a man who refused to look away.</em> <em>L'occhio indifeso del leggendario fotoreporter Weegee lo portò"; sul territorio che pochi altri fotografi del suo tempo osavano percorrere. La sua New York non era il mondo glamour di locali notturni e vivaci marciapiedi ma di vicoli e appartamenti dimenticati che testimoniavano la tragedia e la violenza della città. La New York di Weegee è una città ferita dalla Grande Depressione in preda alla disoccupazione e alla povertà alla criminalità alla corruzione e alla prostituzione. Scattate principalmente di notte e contrassegnate dalla luce artificiale tipicamente dura che proiettava ombre rivelatrici sui loro soggetti queste fotografie di vittime del crimine vagabondi senzatetto piccoli ladri e poliziotti risoluti documentano la grintosa realtà del mondo di Weegee. Il primo fotografo di notizie che mise una radio della polizia nella sua auto Weegee avrebbe corso per le strade di Manhattan dopo mezzanotte spesso picchiando gli sbirri sulla scena del crimine. La mattina dopo le sue foto avrebbero urlato dalle pagine del Daily News e del Daily Mirror. Saltano ancora oggi fuori dalla pagina con un'immediata irrequietezza e un intenso nervosismo che deve ancora essere eguagliato. Le 335 fotografie raccolte in questo volume raccontano la storia di New York durante uno dei suoi periodi più" violenti ed emozionanti.</em> Schirmer/Mosel, unknown
