1st edition of authors second book. Period boards with original modernist wrappers mounted front and back. 12mo, 62 pages; 22 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as Hard Reality. Beautiful modernist typographical title and author on front cover, signed by artist in the print (illegible). Moyshe Khashtshevatski (1897 - 1943) was born in Buky, near Uman, Ukraine. He father was a teacher in the local Talmud-Torah. He studied in religious elementary school and in a Talmud-Torah, and in 1916 he graduated from the commercial school in Uman. In the last years of WWI and the first years of the Russian Revolution, he was studying at the Universities of Petrograd and Ekaterinburg. In 1918 (April 6) he debuted in print with a poem, entitled Friling kumt (Spring comes), in Di naye tsayt (The new times) in Kievusing the pen name M. Mishal. In 1921 he moved to Kiev, where he forged a strong bond with the local Yiddish writers (Dobrushin, Hofshteyn, Dis Nister, and others), and from that point he enhanced ever more his reputation as a creator and builder of Soviet Yiddish literature. In the Soviet Yiddish periodicals of Kiev, Kharkov, Minsk, and Moscow, he published poetry and ballads. He also translated from the Russian and Ukrainian classics, as well as from other languages. From 1923 over the course of three years, he contributed intensively to Emes (Truth) in Moscow, and he actively took part in the Soviet community and political life. His first works were in the symbolist vein, although he would later switch to a more realistic depiction of life and address the major issues of the time. He brought new motifs and imagery into Soviet Yiddish poetry. His range of interest was extremely broad. His books include: Dorsht (Thirst), poems (Kiev, 1922), 31 pp.; Harte vor (Hard reality) (Moscow, 1924), 62 pp.; and 38 other titles. Shortly after the outbreak of the Nazi-Soviet war in 1941, he was evacuated to Samarkand, Uzbekistan, and there he learned of the death at the front of his only son. He proceeded to volunteer for mobilization into the Red Army, despite the fact that he was forty-six years of age. He contributed in the harshest of battles in that period of the fighting and died in battle. Moyshe Khashtshevatski is, it seems to me, wrote Shmuel Niger, [was] the most candid among all Yiddish poets in Ukraine. His lyric poetry was born with an old, broken, wrinkled, quietly suffering soul; unabashed, he says that it is old, broken, wrinkled, and suffering in silence. He makes no pretense and no heroic or demagogic poses. It does not shake the earth and demonstrates no valor against the empty, blue skies. (Borekh Tshubinski in Yiddish Leksikon, 2017).
