PASTERNAK, Boris Leonidovich, translator. VAZHA-PSHAVELA [i.e. Luka Razikashvili].
Zmeeed. Perevod s gruzinskago Borisa Pasternaka [The Snake-Eater. Translated from the Georgian by Boris Pasternak].
|
[Tbilisi,] Zakgiz, 1934. - Sm. 8vo, pp. vii, [1], 68, [2], including an additional title (gvelis mch’ameli) in Mkhedruli (Georgian) script; with frontispiece portrait before the prelims; titles printed in red and black, headpieces and cover design by S. Nadareishvili; a very good copy in the original publisher’s cloth, with the original dust-jacket (waterstained and chipped), old bookseller’s marks to rear pastedown. First edition, very rare, of Pasternak’s translation of gvelis mch’ameli (1901), ‘Vazha’s, and Georgian poetry’s, supreme achievement a Georgian Faust’ (Rayfield). It is published by Zakgiz (Zakavkazskoe gosudarstvennoe izdatel’stvo), the Trans-Caucasian State Publishing House.Vazha-Pshavela (1861–1915) is regarded as perhaps the greatest of Georgian poets, his work deeply rooted in the Caucasus (his pseudonym means ‘a lad from Pshavia’, the highlands of north-eastern Georgia). Donald Rayfield writes: ‘Vazha-Pshavela is qualitatively of a greater magnitude than any other Georgian writer, and the roots of his creation lie elsewhere, partly in a hitherto unknown aboriginal Caucasian folk culture, partly in pre-Christian, Hellenic beliefs, and partly in an intuition of other nations’ cultures – all as inexplicable in nineteenth-century Pshavia as Shakespeare’s learning and philosophy were in sixteenth-century Warwickshire By 1950 four major Russian poets had translated Vazha; his influence began to spread. Pasternak’s reading of The Snake-Eater affects his own Faustian Dr Zhivago’ (The Literature of Georgia, Clarendon Press, 1994, pp. 207–8, 216).Tarasenkov p. 295. Searches in COPAC, KVK, and OCLC result in only 2 copies, at Amherst College and the Brotherton Library, Leeds. Not in the British Library.

BERNARD Carlo (noto con lo pseudonimo di Carlo Bernari, Napoli 1909 - 1992)
Tre operai. Romanzo
|
Rizzoli & C. Anonima per l'Arte della Stampa, "I Giovani. Collana diretta da Cesare Zavattini" 1934 (febbraio), Milano - copertina con titolo in nero e lettera "R" verdina su fondo grigio. "."Tre operai", singolare romanzo, scritto a vent'anni, che anticipa la tematica del neorealismo, pur filtrando in un personale e gentile sentimento il vigore dell'impegno che provocò all'autore molte noie con la censura fascista, ispirata dallo stesso Mussolini" (Vallecchi 1974: pag. 130). "Tre operai" è considerato un "incunabolo" del nostro neorealismo." (Asor Rosa 1992: pag. 60). "Fra il '30 e il '31, mentre ero sotto le armi approfittando delle soste di caserma e di quelle più lunghe ed oziose in un ufficio del Ministero della Guerra ove ero stato nel frattempo aggregato, rielaborai la prima stesura di un libro sulla vita degli operai napoletani prima dell'avvento del fascismo. Nacque così quel romanzo che con il titolo "Tre operai" doveva apparire tre anni dopo, agli inizi del 1934, mai supponendo che potesse suscitare tanti consensi e tante proteste. Mussolini tempestò il libro di segni rossi e lo consegnò al suo genero, Ciano, perché provvedesse. Fu così che la polizia mi prese sotto tutela e mi ci tenne a lungo. Ciano, allora ai primi passi della sua carriera, aveva ancora una debolezza per le lettere. Mi disse che non era colpa sua se aveva dovuto prendere provvedimenti così draconiani con una velina ai giornali perché non si occupassero più del mio caso. E preso il mio libro da uno scaffale me lo mostrò: "Vedi - disse - Lui lo ha letto purtroppo e non ha affatto gradito lo scherzo". "Ma - protestai a mia volta - vuol dire che mi si vuole affamare? E allora mi si ridia il passaporto; troverò all'estero una possibilità di lavoro senza dover stendere la mano". "Sarebbe troppo facile - obiettò lui - se vuoi nasconderti puoi farlo anche qui. Basta non mettersi in mostra". Cominciò da allora per me un'accorata ricerca di pseudonimi, e ne inventai che ne inventai, da Bernardi, a Siglai, a Caberna, a Beda, sino all'ultimo suggeritomi da Alvaro, e del quale non mi sono ancora stancato. Ma ebbe inizio anche da allora la mia sfortunata fortuna, o fortunata sfortuna letteraria. Se "Tre operai" fosse uscito oggi, avrebbe avuto indubbiamente molte edizioni e molte traduzioni; uscì in un clima in cui chi lo scrisse dové nascondersi, chi lo pubblicò dové giustificarsi, chi ne parlò dové smentirsi o trattenersi, chi non ne parlò fu felice di non averne parlato" (Carlo Bernard, in Accrocca 1960: pag. 67). Esemplare con dedica autografa dell'autore allo storico dell'arte Sergio Ortolani (Belluno 1896 - Cuneo 1949. Notizie su Vallecchi 1974: pp. 947-948): "A Sergio Ortolani, poeta e scrittore valoroso dell'altra sponda, con sincera e autentica stima, Carlo Bernard, Milano 14/2/34". Prima edizione. Formato in centrimetri 19,4x13 211 (5)pagine [Attributes: Soft Cover]

SERJEANT T. WELLS, 1st BATTALION OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKINGHAMSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY
1934 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT INSTRUCTION MANUAL IN THE ART OF FENCING USING THE FOIL, SABRE AND EPEE
|
Borden, Hants, Hampshire, England, 1934. On offer is a handwritten notebook-style instruction manual, as titled on the cover "Fencing Lessons Foil - Sabre - Epee". The inside front cover has a pastedown fully identifying the writer: "Serjeant T. Wells of the 1st BATTALION OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKINGHAMSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY. 19th Sept. to 13th Dec. 1934. Instructors Gartzen and Harkinson". An Index of the 67 page book shows that besides the lessons in the three sword types there are chapters on the Army Fencing Union, Pitches and Arenas and Bayonet Team Competitions. We are led to believe that this book is also a manual for the Instructor trainee as most pages have three columns headed: Pupil, Master, Remarks. The remarks appear to be helpful hints for the Instructor in dealing with the pupil. There are a number of hand drawn illustrations, including charts, tables, graphs and such plus there are quite a few little. 1.5" x 1", photographs which were cut from elsewhere and glued in as part of the lesson. In addition to the identification on the cover and inside front cover the back cover has Sjt. Wells handwritten address being we believe, Bordon, Hants [Hampshire]. Boards are cracked in the hinges and the netting shows but otherwise in very good shape. Provenance: From the library of a famed Hungarian fencing master, instructor, Olympian and coach. Superb fencing collectible.. Original Wraps. Good. 4to - over 9!" - 12" tall. Manuscript.

Smith, Harold I
The Big Snake of Harwich Swamps: original two-page spread illustration forthis story in The Sportsman. Graphite and white ink on paper, signed anddated
|
Boston: The Sportsman Magazine, 1934 This work, by an artist who did covers and some other work forthe magazine, consists of two full-page drawings with mortised rectangles for the text. It was used to illustrate Gordon Basssett's angling tall tale, “The Big Snake of Harwich Swamps”, pp. 50-51 of the April 1934 issue of The Sportsman. In the magazine, the drawing was poorly reproduced and appears faint and washed out, with much loss of detail--the original is clear, bold, and handsome. This is a particularly interesting item for two reasons: it illustrates a rare piece of original fiction--or near fiction--of which The Sportsman printed very little, and it represents the relatively rare use of a drawing. Most of the magazine's illustrations, with the exception of little editorial vignettes (many done by Smith) and the occasional reproduction of a work of sporting art, were photographs Two sheets, each 14 x 10 inches. Slight marginal soiling, else fine
