In 8° (18×12 cm); 113, (3) pp. Brossura editoriale con titolo, autore e stampatori impressi entro cornice al frontespizio. Qualche lievissimo segno del tempo ma nel complesso esemplare in buone condizioni di conservazione. Prima edizione di questa celebre raccolta di componimenti di uno dei più famosi e non convenzionali poeti ed artisti polacchi, Konstanty Ildefons Galczynski (Varsavia, 23 gennaio 1905 – Varsavia, 6 dicembre 1953). 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 ed iniziarono così a diventare sempre meno comuni da reperire sul mercato librario. La musicalità del suoi componimenti ancora oggi inspirano autori di ballate e musica popolare polacca. “Zaczarowana Dorozka” (La Cabina Incantata) contiene i componimenti scritti a Szczecin dove fondò, insieme a Helena Kurcyusz e Jerzy Andrzejewski il gruppo letterario “Klub 13 Muz”. Fra i componimenti presenti nell’opera „Lyrika, Lyrika, Tkliwa Dynamika”, „Wjazd na wielorybe”, „Wiosna w Szczecinie”, „Przygoda w Szczecinie”, „Szczecin”, „Wrobla Wielkanoc” ed altre. 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 illustrata. First edition.

Esemplare in buone condizioni di conservazione ed ancora a fogli chiusi. Prima edizione di questa raccolta di componimenti del celebre poeta e combattente polacco, Wladyslaw Broniewski (December 17, 1897, Plock – February 10, 1962, Warsaw). L’autore venne educato nello spirito dell’intellighienza polacca che voleva mantenere vive la tradizione rivoluzionaria, patriottica ed indipendentista della Polonia dell’epoca romantica quando la nazione era stata cancellata dalle carte geografiche dopo la spartizione operata da Prussia, Impero Russo ed impero Austriaco nel 1772. Nel 1918 l’autore si arruola volontario nelle Legioni polacche e alla fine dello stesso anno sostiene l’esame di maturità in una Polonia di nuovo indipendente. Nel 1920 prende parte alla guerra Polacco-Sovietica. Nel 1922, con un processo di radicalizzazione marxista, pubblica i suoi primi componimenti sulla rivista “Skamander”. Nel 1931 venne arrestato con tutta la redazione della rivista “Miesiecznik Literacki” per le sue idee socialiste. Nel 1939 viene di nuovo arrestato a Lwow, territorio occupato dall’Unione Sovietica, in seguito ad un una falsa accusa. Nel 1941 segue l’armata del generale Anders in Medio Oriente e rimane fino al termine della guerra in Palestina. Dal 1946 rientra in patria e partecipa con la sua poesia alla rinascita del paese elogiando con fede incrollabile il socialismo. Non comune raccolta di componimenti poetici in prima edizione. First Edition. Autografo.
