P5041Prague: Václav Petr 1941. Octavo 24 × 16 cm. Original decorative card wrappers with the publisher's original printed wrap-around band; 120 2 pp. Very good. Wrappers by the painter Karel Černý. First edition of this work by Czech psychoanalyst philosopher art theoretician and writer Bohuslav Brouk one of the first promoters of Freud's work in Czechoslovakia. He was a close friend of Karel Teige and a co-founder of the Czech Surrealist Group in 1934. Considered one of the most original minds of the Czech avant-garde he was also seen as its enfant terrible. Brouk's postscript for Štyrský's "Emily Comes to Me in a Dream" 1933 a defense of erotic literature revealed his great interest in sexual freedom individual creativity and modern artistic tendencies. His research in the early 1930s focused on topics such as masturbation sexology and fetishes and his works were often censored. With a trenchant wit and rhetorical talent he set out to destroy what he saw as everyday myths that make a meaningless existence bearable: ethics work sport and marriage among others. After the war he was an outstanding public critic of communist ideology and fled the country after the 1948 coup. unknown
P5979Moscow: Uchgiz Staatsverlag 1932. Octavo 25 × 17 cm. Original photo-illustrated wrappers; 57-98 6 pp. With a 20-pp. dictionary supplement folded and laid in as issued. Illustrations throughout. Light soil to wrappers; chip to lower corner of front wrapper and last pages; still good or better. With attractive photomontage wrappers designed by the graphic artist Paul Urban this German language publication for Soviet youth focused on the promotion of world revolution reflecting the Soviet foreign policy of its day. Written in simple German the magazine was intended for students with at least two years of German instruction. A call to political agitation at the head of the glossary reads: "Comrades students and teachers of the German language - You have already read the first two issues of our journal. The task before you is to use what you have gleaned from the journal for your practical work. Strengthen the international education! Connect with the German workers at your factory collective and state farm in order to share your experience and learn from theirs. 10000 German workers and specialists are currently working in the Soviet Union. It is up to you to agitate among these comrades who came to help us in our Socialist building." The magazine was a continuation of "Die Junge Garde" 1930-1931 which changed its title to "Zwei Welten" starting in 1932.<br /> <br /> The German communist politician and member of KPD Paul Dietrich 1889-1937 edited the journal with Béla Illés 1895-1974 a Hungarian communist writer. The magazine included articles by the German communist elite most of whom were living in Moscow at the time such as Berta Lask Karl Richter and Frieda Rubiner. Many of the German communists working for Moscow such as Paul Dietrich were later repressed while others such as Frieda Rubiner went on to hold positions of power in the GDR with this publication documenting a specific moment in international communism especially the relationship between German and Russian communist parties. <br /> <br /> The photomontage wrappers were designed by the German graphic artist Paul Urban 1901-1937. A graduate of the Munich School of Applied Arts Urban likely studied at the Dessau Bauhaus under Herbert Bayer and Joost Schmidt . In Berlin he was close to John Heartfield and often worked with photomontage among others for Büchergilde Gutenberg and Kiepenhauer. After a period in Amsterdam he moved to the Soviet Union in 1936. He disappeared shortly thereafter possibly at the hands of NKVD. <br /> <br /> As of January 2024 no copies located in North America. unknown
