Includes text printed in black as well as orange color with many sections of musical notation and lyrics to Passover prayers and songs with printed in German translation as well as transliterations from the Hebrew. <br /> <br /> Guggenheim was initially inspired to produce the work as a result of his need to spark his passion for Jewish traditions in his own children and by extension the need to create a new and visually engaging work to inspire the younger generation of German Jews. It was compiled from a huge number of stories anecdotes and songs collected by Guggenheim over a 14-year period. These were eventually paired down into the final work which was so-named in order to tie it to the rich history of past printed Haggadah in the city dating back to at least the early 18th century.<br /> <br /> Text throughout in German and Hebrew.<br /> <br /> Binding with minor smudging to the beige leather.

Photo-illustrated endpapers. "The book is one of the most unusually edited and designed and also rarest postwar photo books by Karol Kállay." Czech and Slovak Photoo-Publications p. 316<br /> <br /> This rare and poignant photo-essay by Slovak photographer Karol Kállay present seventy-two sheet-fed gravures. Divided into two parts: A selection of photographs showing Bratislava children playing together or walking through a neighborhood under construction in part one and part two documents the everyday life of surgeons and nurses dedicated to save lives at the Bratislava Children's University Hospital where children are seen undergoing open-heart surgery while anxious parents wait and hope for a positive outcome. <br /> <br /> Text in Czech. Dustjacket lightly rubbed along edges slightly more pronounced at top of front foredge and minor chips at tail of spine. Binding age-toned along top and bottom edges. Interior in near fine condition. Karol Kallay 1926-2012 was a citizen of the world a photographer with blue blood running in his veins who in the educational spirit of the First Republic remained a sworn Czechoslovak even after the breakup of Czechoslovakia in 1993. He was born a Hungarian aristocrat on the 26th of April 1926 in Cadca in Czechoslovakia’s First Republic where right from the republic’s beginnings the use of aristocratic titles - distinguishing those with “blue blood†from the mere mortals - was officially banned. Despite this his distinction conspicuously radiated out of him all his life. He always wanted to be a photographer. Perhaps it was because at the age of sixteen he won a gold medal in a Slovak photo contest. But it was also thanks to the excellent education he got from his older friends in the Trencin amateur photographic club Halasa Hajduch Farkas which was one of the many Slovak photographic societies started after the war by Jiri Jenicek an officer of the Czechoslovak army and a brilliant and enthusiastic amateur photographer. Kallay’s wise father didn’t want to impede his son’s “comedian career†as he regarded the photographic profession but he had one condition - his son had to study something proper first. And so Karol after the end of the Second World War studied commercial engineering and law in Bratislava. He worked for a construction company in Zilina and Sucany and in his free time he devoted himself to photo reportage as an associate of a photo weekly Domov and Svet. That brought him to Prague where he meet two eminent photographers: Karel Hajek the shining star of reportage photography and Jan Lukas whose recently published book Zeme a lide not only impressed him but practically predetermined his future photojournalistic direction in the spirit of humanistic photography. “Through Jan Lucas I discovered magazines - "Life" "Paris Match" "Illustrated London News" including fashion magazines such as "Vogue" and "Harper’s Bazaar"; articles and the opinions of the aesthetician Alexander Libermann and the artistic direction of Alexey Brodovitch - it was all important learning for me because we didn’t have that in Slovakia†he remembers. And so Kallay’s specific bipolarity as an excellent fashion and advertising photographer was basically the source of his income with excellent reporting constantly mapping out the people’s lifestyles that he found on his frequent travels all over the world. Thanks to the Bratislava weekly magazine "Moda" to which he was a regular contributor he could leave his regular job in 1956 and become a freelance photographer. That opened the way for him to contribute to the most important foreign fashion magazines - mainly "Jardin des Modes" in Paris and "Saison" and "Sybille" in Berlin. And because of this at home he became forever known as a successful photographer of fashion who brought the freshness and the dynamism of live photography into his work. In other words: he stopped photographing models as stiff coat hangers. In addition he traveled published books and did reportages for prestigious magazines such as "Geo" "Stern" "Spiegel" "Focus" "Merian" "Sports International" "Paris Match" and "Illustré" of which at that time the world behind the iron curtain knew practically nothing about. And thanks to this talent Karol Kallay became a photo reporter like none other in Czechoslovakia. Mladé letá hardcover

Aluminum boards have moderate general scuffing especially along the edges. Textblock head and tail edges dyed black and moderately scuffed fore and rear edges have mild age-toning and soiling. Signed flat by Ray Bradbury at the conclusion of introduction. Signed flat by Andrew Hoyem beneath the colophon. GH Consignment. Shelved Case 9 3/4. Andrew Hoyem's Arion Press edition of FLATLAND by Edwin Abbott Abbott originally published under the tongue-in-cheek pseudonym "A Square" in 1884 by London's Seeley & Co. FLATLAND satirizes socioeconomic class structures following the various strata of geometric shapes who must traverse a two-dimensional world. Barely successful upon release FLATLAND slowly earned its cult status in the science fiction canon following Albert Einstein's publication of his general theory of relativity. Einstein not unlike Abbott posited the concept of a fourth-dimension and elaborated upon the importance of time affecting Earthly phenomena. Afterwards Abbott's work was perceived as almost prophetic albeit fictional. Throughout the 1960s several writers produced work inspired by FLATLAND including Norton Juster. Released two decades later the Arion Press edition is the truest attempt to contain Abbott's text in a form reflective of its content. Laid out in its entirety the double-sided accordion fold spans 30 feet and contains unique die-cuts that illustrate the world of FLATLAND. 1405941. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Arion Press hardcover

192654867Moscow МоÑква: Kinopechat Кинопечать 1926. First edition. Softcover. Good to very good condition. Octavo. 80pp. Dark blue and white wrappers with constructivist typography on the front cover housed in modern blue heavy paper portfolio with printed typographic design of original cover pasted to cover flap. Publisher's device on title page. This scarce published screenplay for the film adaptation of Sholem Aleichem's novel "Wandering Stars" by the acclaimed Russian-Jewish novelist playwright and journalist Isaac Babel 1894-1940. The film was premiered in Kiev on January 4th 1927 and was directed by Grigori Gritscher-Tscherikower 1883-1945. It was produced by VUFKU studios the national film studios of the Ukrainian SSR.<br /> <br /> This book contains the entirety of the film's screenplay accompanied by three striking b/w illustrations by Soviet artist and designer Alexander Bykhovskii 1888-1978 who likely also created the striking cover. The final three pages contain publisher's ads listing other work on the topic of cinema.<br /> <br /> The story tells of the love between Leibel the son of a wealthy shtetl family and Reizel a poor cantor's daughter in Bessarabia. The two run off to join a traveling Yiddish theater group. They are later separated with each becoming successful in their own right only to eventually reunite in America. The work was first serialized and originally appeared in the Warsaw newspapers between 1909 and 1911. It has come to be seen as the third in an unofficial trilogy of novels by the writer centering on musicians or performers preceded by Stempenyu 1888 and The Nightingale 1889.<br /> <br /> In 1925 the Moscow State Jewish Theater suggested that the Goskino the Soviet State Film Studio produce a film adaptation of Sholem Aleichem’s novel. The order was commissioned to Isaac Babel for translation and adaptation from the book's original Yiddish language to Russian for the screenplay. During this period Babel had been working on other translations of Yiddish literature into Russian including the collected works of Sholem Aleichem and work by David Bergelson. According to Babel's foreword printed here he faced a number of difficulties adapting the novel including the modification of petty bourgeoisie motifs as well as the changes of film directors and their differing requirements. Because of certain elements in the script of which the main committee of the Goskino did not approve the film's production had to ultimately be switched to VUFKU studios in Odessa. In a letter during the period of production Babel apparently wrote: “I will have to be present on the set. if I am not there the director will ruin everything" and later upon hearing of further changes made by Gritscher-Tscherikower wrote that "it is more profitable for me not to participate in this shameful productionâ€. Regardless of Babel's opinion of the final product the film was well received by Soviet audiences at the time.<br /> <br /> Text in Russian. Portfolio with minor wear.

It gained notoriety and elicited controversy when it was originally released in 1963 and won the Japan Photo Critics Association's writer award. The main photographic subject of the book the acclaimed and controversial writer Yukio Mishima 1925-1970 wrote the preface to the original edition and also writes the preface for this new edition both are included here.

The images have been thematically re-organized into five new chapters with the names "Sea & Eyes" "Eyes & Sins" "Sins & Dreams" "Dreams & Death" and "Death" respectively. Influential artist and graphic designer Tadanori Yokoo b. 1936 oversaw all of the design and layout aspects of the book and also created its additional illustrated elements most of which comprise the first chapter of this new edition.<br /> <br /> While Hosoe was still completing work to prepare this new edition of "Ordeal by Roses" the notorious "Mishima Incident" occurred November 25th 1970 which culminated in the ritual suicide of Yukio Mishima by seppuku. The incident shocked the nation and in its wake the photographer was quite unsure of how to proceed regarding the publication of the book. Not wanting to seem like an opportunist taking advantage of the controversy and the publicity surround Mishima's death he contemplated shelving the project but was later persuaded by Mishima's widow Yoko who said that her husband would have wanted it to be released. It was finally release only a few months later on January 30th 1971.<br /> <br /> Text in Japanese and English throughout.<br /> <br /> Portfolio with foxing to the white cloth including the front cover and the interior but the illustrations on the flaps are still clean.
