Conservato anche il foglietto editoriale che avvertiva della possibilità di poter cambiare il volume qualora lo stesso presentasse dei difetti di stampa. Prima edizione in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione di questa celebre opera di uno dei più famosi e non convenzionali poeti ed artisti polacchi del novecento, Konstanty Ildefons Galczynski (Varsavia, 23 gennaio 1905 – Varsavia, 6 dicembre 1953). L’opera presenta le magnifiche illustrazioni del celebre artista, scenografo, illustratore di libri polacco Daniel Mróz (nato 3 Febbraio 1917 a Cracovia, è morto 21 gennaio 1993 a Cracovia) che fu anche l’illustratore delle opere fantascientifiche di Stanislaw Lem e degli scritti “assurdi” di Slawomir Mrozek. L’intero testo dell’opera si confonde e mischia alle illustrazioni. Il “Viaggio di Chryzostoma Bulwiecia a Ciemnogrod” è considerato uno dei capolavori di Galczynski. Pubblicato per la prima volta postumo nel 1954, l’opera è un vero e proprio viaggio fantasioso nel paradosso. allo scoppio della Prima Guerra Mondiale si trasferì a Mosca dove suo padre lavorava come impiegato e vi rimase fino al 1918. Tornato a Varsavia, seguì gli studi classici all’Università non disdegnando però gli studi musicali che tanta importanza avranno poi nella sua composizione letteraria ricca di liriche e di neologismi. Proprio la stravaganza dei suoi versi ha reso difficili la traduzione degli stessi in altre lingue. A 23 anni si avvicinò al circolo culturale Kwadryga dove venivano diffuse le idee e ideali innovativi ispirati dal Futurismo italiano e al costruttivismo russo che segnarono in modo decisivo la produzione poetica polacca d’avanguardia. Il suo debutto letterario risale al 1930 con il poema folkloristico La fine del mondo. Dal 1931 al 1933 soggiornò a Berlino, mentre dal 1934 al 1938 si trasferì a Vilnius. Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale venne catturato dai nazisti e internato nel lager di Altengrabov. La fine della guerra gli permise di viaggiare per l’Europa, soggiornando a Parigi, Bruxelles e Roma. Fin dall’origine della sua produzione letteraria l’umorismo fu la base della sua poesia accentuato da una forte vena satirica che prendeva in giro il mondo politico contemporaneo. Nella sua poesia si trovano in perfetto equilibrio una visione realistica del mondo ed un illogicità dirompente esaltate da veri e propri virtuosismi lessicali. Trattò temi di grande importanza sociale in farse, racconti grotteschi, e favole esopiche. Intorno al 1950 le sue opere divennero il centro di un acceso dibattito ideologico e alcuni suoi lavori vennero denunciati all’autorità per sospetto deviazionismo politico e così molte sue opere iniziarono, lentamente a sparire dal mercato. La musicalità del suoi componimenti ancora oggi inspirano autori di ballate e musica popolare polacca. Galczynski si può considerare come il giullare della poesia polacca del novecento, un giullare che con il suo atteggiamento giocoso e incostante, veniva perdonato per una polemica politica, sempre coperta sotto il manto salvifico dell’umorismo, dei neologismi e dei giochi di parole. Prima edizione non comune a trovarsi in queste buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. First edition, good copy.

Good Solid condition.; 8vo; 387 pages; In Yiddish. Not in Robinson & Friedman nor Wolff. Jewish partisan's memoirs of resistance against the Nazis in Poland. Illustrated with many photographs throughout. Inscribed by Kaczerginski in year of publication. Kaczerginski (19081954) was a Yiddish writer and cultural activist. Born in Vilna to a poor family and educated at that citys Talmud Torah, Shmerke (Pol., Szmerke) Kaczerginski lost both his parents during World War I. As a youth, he was involved with outlawed Communist groups and was arrested several times, serving a lengthy prison term. In the 1930s, two of his revolutionary poems became popular in Poland. He wrote short stories with a radical bent and was a correspondent and reporter for literary publications, including the semilegal leftist press in Poland and the New York Communist daily Morgn-frayhayt. Kaczerginski played a key role in shaping the writers and artists group Yung-Vilne; he organized its evening events and was the de facto publisher of its three miscellanies between 1934 and 1936. During the period of Soviet control over Lithuania in 19401941, he was even more active in the field of Yiddish culture, but at the same time experienced his first disappointments with the attitude of the Soviet regime toward Jewish culture. During the first period of Nazi occupation, Kaczerginski wandered through villages and towns posing as a deaf mute; after many difficulties, he ended up in the Vilna ghetto. Kaczerginski was very involved in the ghettos cultural activities. As a leader of its youth club, he wrote its Yugnt-himen (Youth Hymn), a song that immediately became popular. In 1943, he wrote the song Shtiler, shtiler in memory of the mass murders committed at Ponar. Set to music that Aleksander Volkoviski (later known as Aleksander Tamir) had submitted to a contest organized by the ghetto, the song was first heard at an evening performance there and over the years became one of the best-known songs of the Holocaust. With Avrom Sutzkever and others, Kaczerginski became part of a group of forced laborers whom the Germans designated to sort Jewish cultural treasures at YIVO and other locations. Known as the Papir-brigade (Paper Brigade), the groups members risked their lives to hide the most significant items, smuggling them back into the ghetto or entrusting them to non-Jewish acquaintances. Kaczerginski was a member of the Fareynikte Partizaner Organizatsye (United Partisans Organization; FPO), and, since YIVOs building was located outside the ghetto walls, he took part in smuggling weapons into the ghetto. In September 1943, Kaczerginski, along with Avrom and Freydke Sutzkever and other members of the FPO, escaped from the Vilna ghetto as part of an organized group of fighters just before its liquidation. They joined a Soviet partisan unit in the Naroch Forests, where Kaczerginski fought as a partisan until liberation in July 1944. Kaczerginskis books describe the destruction of Vilna, the partisan struggle, and his own experiences during the Holocaust period: Khurbn Vilne (The Destruction of Vilna; 1947), Partizaner geyen (Partisans on the Move; 1947), and Ikh bin geven a partizan (I Was a Partisan; 1952) (YIVO, 2010). Wear to cover and edges, very good condition. (HOLO2-87-3A)
