CHURCHILL, W.S.
The River War. An Account of the Re-conquest of the Soudan.
|
London: Eyre and Spottiswoode 1933 - First Cheap Edition. Uncommon in jacket. Octavo, pp.381. Original lilac cloth in photographic dust wrapper. Minor edgewear, some light toning else a clean, fine copy. WSC's second book, written while he was still an Army officer, describes the background to the Sudan conflict between the British forces under Lord Kitchener and the fanatical Islamic Jihadists led by a self proclaimed second prophet of Islam, the relationship of the Upper Nile to Egypt, the murder of General Charles George Gordon in the siege at Khartoum, the political reaction in England, and Kitchener's elaborate preparations for the war. While in the Sudan Churchill participated in the Battle of Omdurman, the last British cavalry charge in battle. Churchill comments at length on the mechanization of war with use of the telegraph, railroad, and a new generation of weaponry. A sound set of " a brilliant history of British involvement in the Sudan and the campaign for its reconquest: arresting, insightful, with tremendous narrative and descriptive power. Though published .100 years ago, it is uniquely relevant to our times: combined with Churchill's personal adventure, there are passages of deep reflection about the requirements of a civilised government of ordered liberty." Langworth. 'Churchill's greatest early work: a prose epic with much relevance today'. (Churchill Centre) Langworth p.27; Woods A2. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Herbert Stuffer, Berlin 1933 - 8vo. 28pp. Quarter cloth over original photographic paper-covered boards. Binding protected by modern mylar. Böer's first children book in which the artist used 'collage', a relatively new technique developed by Bauhaus. Friedrich Böer (1904-1987) was a German author and illustrator who became well known for his unique use of photomontage, as seen in this work. With additional illustrations of partly colored drawings by E. Graef and E. Krantz. In his 1934 work "Krischan der Bauernjunge", Böer was not allowed to use photo collages since it did not agree with Joseph Goebbels' National Socialist ideals. "Das erste deutschsprachige Kinderbuch in dieser Art, dem ein gewisser Erfolg beschieden war und dem eine historische Bedeutung zukommt" (Hürlimann, page 187). Some age wear, scuffing and staining on binding. Front board slightly bowed. Inscribed by previous owner on inside of front board, dated October 1934. Name of previous owner on top margin of title-page. Some foxing on title-page and last leaf. Text in German. Overall good condition. Scarce. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

SCHOENBERG, ARNOLD (1874-1951). Austrian and later American composer,associated with the expressionist movement in German poetry and art, andleader of the Second Viennese School
Typed Letter Signed, in German, two 4to pages, Chautauqua, N.Y., August20, 1934
|
- In 1933, shortly before his 60th birthday, Arnold Schoenberg was forced to flee his native Europe due to the increasing Nazi terror. He came to America, where he taught briefly at Boston's Malkin Conservatory before moving to Los Angeles for reasons of health in October 1934. This important letter discusses almost all issues related to his music with Schirmer, his American publisher. Letters of this quality by Schoenberg are rare. He writes to Carl Engel, of SchirmerÕs and Co., music publisher. ÒI think you may have overlooked a small difference between travel expenses for lectures and those for meetings of music teachersÉI unfortunately, will be making less money.Next, the question of a possible contract for some of my works. Let me mention first that I,have in mind a contract for royalties (but would also consider an outright sale, which you apparently are not considering). As a rule I have received 15% of the retail price of sheet music, 50% of orchestra material and performance fees. I have always retained the right to set the rate for mechanized copying, and those fees were shared 50:50. Any unpredictable future rights also have stayed with me. As I signed the contract for a composition, I got an advance toward future sales revenue that has recently been based on the first 1,000 to 2,000 copies. Orchestral works have been figured on the basis of the first 50 to 100 performances. Let me add right away that these days it is less important to me to walk off with a large sum of cash in my hand than to be able to do as follows: In order to recuperate and to finish some things, I want to spend the coming winter in a warm place and accept students and concerts, etc. only sporadically, and, in a word, when ideal. To do this I need at least $300 a month, and that is what I would like to have as my advance from you. I could offer you for now these two concerti: Concerto for cello and small orchestra, based on a concerto for harpsichord by Matth. Monn (ca.1740), a ÔrecompositonÕ and the Concerto for (solo) string quartet with orchestra, based on a Handel Concerto Grosso, an adaptation (i.e. the pieces are completely tonal and rarely and only slightly go beyond BrahmsÕ harmonics). But I made free use of the thematic material in some of the weaker movements and in bad places and reconstructed such movements sometimes entirely so that the whole can to some degree be considered an original work. Both pieces are extraordinarily brilliant and striking, as Casals confirmed, and Kolisch, who is studying it now, writes, Òeverything is so well arranged that except for the octave places it isnÕt all that hard.Ó The only other thing I have ready is a small songbook, but as you know, my opera Moses and Aaron is nearing completion and a theoretical work is also in the making. But a few of my earlier works could also be considered for re-publication in America (it is precisely those that sell or will soon be sellers) for which the publisher has not arranged a copyright. We may want to check back with the UE, but it barely deserves such consideration. For these new editions I plan extensive revisions, exclusively of a practical nature, which will make them more performable, both in terms of difficulty and cost. As far as the concerti are concerned, I have written a piano score of the Cello Concerto that is also suitable for performance without orchestra and plan to do likewise for the String Quartet Concerto. In punto production costs I want to point out that not being a novice, I do not have the ambition to see Ômyself in print.Õ I believe that at most the piano scores have to be printed, whereas the orchestra scores can be acquired or borrowed in photocopy format of my handwritten original. I have one set of orchestra material of the Cello Concerto, and the Kolisches have one of the String Quartet Concerto. Well, I think I have touched on all the important issues and I hope to hear soon what your thoughts are. Best wishes from my wife, too.Ó Sign [Attributes: Signed Copy]

Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill Arranges to Make His First Specific Proposal for an Alliance of #11;Nations Against Nazi Germany #11;
|
Adolf Hitler took power in Germany in 1933, and by 1935 he had already begun formul- ing his designs on Europe. That year, he negotiated the Ang- lo-German Naval Agreement which practically eliminated the British naval presence in the Baltic Sea on Germany's north- east flank. Then his ally, Ital- ian dictator Benito Mussolini, invaded Ethiopia. The League of Nations, led by Britain and France, labeled him an aggres- sor but did nothing. Hitler ob- served this and now he was ready for his own first military action. The Treaty of Versailles re- quired the de-militarization of the German Rhineland to provide a buffer between Germany on one side and France, Belgium and Luxembourg on the other, which meant that no German forces were allowed there. On March 7, 1936, unilaterally scrapping the Treaty, Hitler sent his troops into the Rhineland and reoccupied it. Britain and France made no effort to stop the action and instead adopted a policy of appeasement. France was lost in a fog of pacifism, and many in Britain actually supported the German action, feeling with Lord Lothian that "the Germans are after all only going into their own back garden." In Britain, however, Winston Churchill had been watching Germany and Italy with a wary eye. He immediately recognized the threat posed by this overt German action and on March 26 took the floor in the House of Commons to ask which nation would be Hitler's next invasion target (speculating perhaps Austria). He also pointedly asked the government and the House whether Britain would take the lead in establishing an "effective union" of those states threatened by Germany. He knew that the answer was no, as neither Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin nor the government leadership had the stomach to take on Germany. So, as Martin Gilbert relates in his book, "Winston Churchill: A Life", he determined to take on the task of trying to create such a union himself. Gilbert writes of the first action Churchill took, saying, "To help such a union forward, he invited the Soviet Ambassador, Ivan Maisky, to lunch with him at the beginning of April." Typed Letter Signed on his letterhead, London, April 1, 1936, to Maisky, being the very letter referenced by Gilbert and Churchill's first outreach to create an alliance of nations against Nazi Germany. "It would give me great pleasure if you would lunch here with me at 1:15 on Friday. We should be a deux [meaning they should dine alone, just the two of them]." Friday was April 3, so the meeting took place that day. What was discussed at the meeting? The purpose was to pursue the possibility of Russian- British cooperation, but it seems that Churchill came armed with specifics. On April 20, states Gilbert, Neville Chamberlain adviser Maurice Hankey told Defence Minister Sir Thomas Inskip of a 'fantastic plan' which Churchill had explained to him in detail for sending part of the Brit- ish Fleet to the Baltic 'to ensure superiority over Germany in that sea. It would stay there per- manently, based on a Russian port of which we should obtain the use under this plan....He has buried his violent anti-Russian complex of former days and is apparently a bosom friend of M. Maisky." Other authors of books on the subect link the Maisky meeting with the Baltic plan; one of these is "Churchill and Strategic Dilemmas Before the World Wars" by Handel. In the book "Churchill and Finland" by Ruotsila the author is even more specific, relating that Churchill approached the Russians about stationing a British naval squadron in the Baltic on the Russian island of Kronstadt. Thus did Churchill unveil his first initiative to form an alliance against Nazi Germany. Although Maisky was interested, the effort was not successful, as at that time few were ready to face the reality. Yet just five years later, Churchill had his alliance, one that won the war.

Two of the letters were addressed to Mrs. Edith Connelley Clift of Oklahoma City, and one to Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Clift of Lawton, Oklahoma. The letters are dated in 1931, 1935, and 1936. Each of the letters is long and personal.

Original red cloth lettered in gilt, small tear to head of upper joint. otherwise very good. First edition.

The so-called film-stroken (film-reels) at end of volume, serve, when fanned quickly, "moving" pictures of the female [nude/sparsely clothed] body, a revolution in those days.

Berlin, Wien und Leipzig, Paul Zsolnay Verlag, 1933.. 557 / 584 S. Rote Original-Leinenbände mit reicher ornamentaler Rückengoldverzierung, blauen Rückenschildern sowie goldgeprägten Rückentiteln.. Dieser Roman begründete Franz Werfels WeltruhmErste Ausgabe, Ende 1933 in Wien erschienen (gedruckt und gebunden bei R. Kiesel zu Salzburg). Die Verlags-Ortsangaben "Berlin und Leipzig" auf dem Titel waren nur eine werbetechnische Fiktion. Knapp zwei Monate später wurde der Roman in Deutschland von den Nazis verboten. Mittlerweile wurde das Werk in 15 Sprachen übersetzt. - Franz Werfels "vierzig Tage des Musa Dagh" ist die beeindruckende Darstellung des - bis in jüngste Zeit von der Türkei geleugneten - Massenmordes an den Armeniern während des Ersten Weltkrieges. -Werfel verkündigte "Er werde einen Helden schildern, wie er ihn sich vorstelle ... den türkischen Nationalismus beleuchten und die Geschichte der armenischen Greuel berichten ...". Diese thematische Stufung hat Werfel im vorliegenden Roman eingehalten und die spätere Proklamation in einer Art Vorwort zur Erstausgabe (er beabsichtigte, "das unfassbare Schicksal des armenischen Volkes dem Totenreich alles Geschehenen zu entreißen") klingt apologetisch, als ob der Autor unter dem Eindruck der sich ankündigenden aktuellen Massenverfolgungen durch den Nationalsozialismus die ursprüngliche Intention der Öffentlichkeit gegenüber hätte betonen wollen. Das Werk ist dann auch in diesem Sinne rezipiert worden. Noch vor der nationalsozialistischen Machtergreifung absolvierte Werfel eine Lesetournee mit dem zeitsymptomatisch-vorausdeutenden fünften Kapitel des Buches, das kurze Zeit später beim Erscheinen des Romans schon von der Wirklichkeit eingeholt wurde. Der Autor wurde von den Nazis aus der Preußischen Dichterakademie "entfernt" und sein neuer Roman zusammen mit dem Großteil des Gesamtwerks verfemt; aber das Echo auf das ahnungsvolle Werk war weltweit und konnte sich sogar im "Reich" artikulieren, wo es das Schicksalsbuch der zunehmend ghettoisierten Juden wurde und zu ihrer Aufrichtung in der fortschreitenden Leidensperiode beitrug. Die anglo-amerikanischen Übersetzungen begründeten Werfels Weltruhm und beeinflussten wenigstens die materiellen Verhältnisse in der kommenden Emigration für ihn günstig. (Eine 1933/34 von MGM in den USA geplante Verfilmung des Werks wurde nicht realisiert). Die dankbarste Anerkennung allerdings spendeten die Armenier in aller Welt. Anfang 1936 wurde der Dichter in New York und Paris von den armenischen Kolonien überschwänglich gefeiert, und noch heute erscheint der Roman in armenischer Übersetzung als Bestseller und wird von der Kritik "als einzigartiges und für uns Armenier wertvolles Werk" gewürdigt (Peter Glaser). - Nach dem Anschluss Österreichs flüchtete Franz Werfel 1938 vor den deutschen Truppen nach Frankreich, nach Sanary-sur-Mer. Zu Fuß überquerte er zusammen mit seiner Frau Alma, Heinrich und Nelly Mann sowie Golo Mann die Pyrenäen nach Spanien, gelangte von dort aus nach Portugal und emigrierte in die USA, nach Beverly Hills und Santa Barbara. Er erhielt 1941 die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft. 1943 verschlimmerte sich Werfels Angina Pectoris, und er erlitt zwei Herzanfälle. 1945 starb Werfel im Alter von 54 Jahren an einem Herzinfarkt. Er wurde zunächst in Beverly Hills auf dem Rosedale Cemetery begraben und hat seit 1975 ein Ehrengrab auf dem Wiener Zentralfriedhof. Der vom Zentrum gegen Vertreibungen ausgeschriebene Franz-Werfel-Menschenrechtspreis ist nach ihm benannt. - WG 47.
