2 eigenh. Briefe mit U. Bad Gastein und Zürich, 1952.. Zusammen (1+1½=) 2½ SS. auf 2 Bll. Mit 2 eh. adr. Kuverts. Gr.-8vo.. An Paul Arthur Loos, den Verfasser einer vielbeachteten Wagner-Biographie ("Richard Wagner. Vollendung und Tragik der deutschen Romantik", Bern 1952): "Tausend Dank für Ihren guten Brief, den ich nur aufs Dürftigste beantworten kann. Die Kur hier strengt mich sehr an, und ich bin trotzdem genötigt, zu arbeiten. In München war ich nur anderthalb Tage, dann am Wolfgangsee und in Salzburg. Von hier gehen wir wieder in die Schweiz, und so bitte ich Sie, Ihr Wagner-Buch, auf das ich mich freue, c/o Europa-Verlag, Zürich, Rämistraße 5, zu adresssieren. Ratzeburg, da war ich öfters als Junge auf Schulausflügen. Dank also nochmals für alles, was Sie mir Freundliches und Freundwilliges sagen, im eigenen Namen und stellvertretend für andere. Ich mache den Mensch viel lieber Freude, als daß ich sie ärgere,- was aber doch nicht immer ganz zu vermeiden war [...]" (Bad Gastein, 22. VIII. 1952). - "Lassen Sie mich kurz sein, ich bin reduzierter Verfassung, erkältet, übermüdet, wenig tauglich zur Arbeit und selbst zum Briefschreiben. Dafür stecken wir in den Vorbereitungen zum Einzug in unser neues Heim in Erlenbach, und es herrscht die Verwirrung des Überganges in eine neue äußere Lebensform. Aber Dank gebührt Ihnen, ein recht herzlicher, für Ihren Brief und besonders natürlich für das Wagnerbuch, mit dem ich mich stundenweise immer wieder beschäftige. Es weiss viel von seinem enormen Gegenstand, Gutes und Schlimmes, - viel vom Zauber des Schlimmen. Am meisten liebe ich bisher und schätze am höchsten den IX. Abschnitt, wo vom Künstler= Magier, vom domteur d'ames, vom Mythos und vom Märchen die Rede ist. Das ist vorzüglich, und am dankbarsten bin ich Ihnen für die beschreibende Verherrlichung des Lohengrin-Vorspiels, eines Mirakels tatsächlich, das ich immer als den Gipfel und die Erfüllung aller Romantik empfunden habe [...]" (9. XII. 1952). [Bookseller: Antiquariat Inlibris, Gilhofer Nfg. GmbH]

Die Lithographien sind fein ausgeführt, sie sind immer sehr realistisch und eindeutig pornografisch und bewahren dennoch durch die Feinkörnigkeit ihrer Struktur eine gewisse intime Distanz. Die kleineren Illustrationen im Text nicht ohne Witz. Das Werk ist sehr selten; bis heute sind weder Autor, Verleger noch Näheres über den Künstler bekannt; vermutlich ist Jean de L'Etang ein Pseudonym [eventuell für Jean Dulac].

Typed letter signed ("A. Einstein"). Princeton, 13. V. 1952.. 4to. 1p. Addenda.. To Chicago labor organizer Ruth Levitova: "Your conception of time is the only one possible in accordance with physics - for the following reasons: 1): Physics knows only different values of time but has no possibility of expression for 'now' (present), for 'past' and for 'future'. 2): Even if one adds to physics the (psychologically so impressively given) 'I-now' there exists - according to the theory of relativity - no possibility to coordinate with the 'I-now' unequivocally a 'present state of the universe'. This feature of exact science was keenly felt and attacked by Henri Bergson (in my opinion without justification) [...]". - Already famous for his General Theory of Relativity (essentially a field theory of gravity) and for the light quantum hypothesis, for which he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, Einstein, in the 1920s, attempted to develop a new theory to explain the effects of all fundamental forces - a unified field theory, for which his General Theory was instrumental. Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, the core formula of which is E=mc², had explained the relativity of space and time and the relationship between energy and matter. But after the theory's publication in 1905, Einstein recognized the need to account for the effect of gravity on space and time, culminating in his updated General Theory of Relativity, published in 1916, with its central formula (Rik - ½gikR) + (Eik) = 0. Questions about gravity continued to dominate Einstein's thoughts for the rest of his life during his search for a unified field theory of gravity. - Levitova was identified as a member of the Communist Party of Chicago during the September 1952 hearings of the House Un-American Activities Committee. She was a field representative of United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America Local 1150 and had corresponded with Einstein during 1933. Despite repeated attacks on the union from the HUAC, the UE is still in existence today. - In excellent condition; on the letterhead of the Institute for Advanced Study. Together with two typed letters by Levitova to Samuel Sillen (the editor of "Masses & Mainstream) and one letter of reply from Sillen. [Bookseller: Antiquariat Inlibris, Gilhofer Nfg. GmbH]

Presidential Telegram Washington 1952 - In 1949, the Association to Unite Democracies spawned the Atlantic Union Committee, with former Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts as Chairman, former Under-secretary of State Will Clayton, and former Secretary of War Robert Patterson as Vice-Chairman, in an intensive nationwide campaign for Atlantic integration. This was the climate in which NATO was proposed, the stage already being set by the Marshall Plan of which Clayton was the principle author. In the period from 1949 to 1953, the Atlantic Union Committee (AUC) became the primary organization in America supporting NATO. In 1952, the AUC took the initiative to form an Atlantic Assembly, as an annual "consultative" assembly of Parliamentarians from NATO countries. When President Truman sent this telegram to Owen J. Roberts he was ecstatic. It was Roberts' idea to give countries like Greece and Turkey large expenditures and help them re-build their economies. This tactic prevented Greece and Turkey from turning to Communism and opened the door for them to be formerly accepted as members of NATO at the very function Truman was sending his greetings. Exceedingly rare and important original Presidential Western Union telegram. 2 pages, 5.75 x 8 inches, The White House, Washington D.C., November 20, 1952. Written to the Honorable Owen J. Roberts, President of the Atlantic Union Committee, sending greetings on the occasion of the AUC's second annual Congress and acknowledging the organization's role in making NATO a success. In part: ".Your organization has performed a notable service to this country and to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization by promoting a broader understanding of the need for continued cooperation among the peoples of the Atlantic community. While Americans may sometimes disagree as to the particular methods by which peace and security can be insured, there can be no doubt that an ever increasing public understanding of the problems we face in our relations with other parts of the world is essential to the ultimate attainment of these goals: HARRY S. TRUMAN." Some creasing and browning; very good(-) condition. [Bookseller: Argosy Book Store, ABAA, ILAB]

Gesigneerd en gedateerd 'Amsterdam-O., 29 April 1953'. 11 regels tekst. Twee perforatiegaatjes.* Drie van de vier schrijvers zijn benaderd voor een functie in het bestuur of de adviescommissie van het nog op te richten Genootschap Nederland-Duitsland. Engelman, Nijhoff en Roland Holst hebben alledrie zo hun redenen om de uitnodiging af te slaan. Zeven jaar na het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog was de houding jegens Duitsland nog wat afwachtend.Engelman schrijft 'alle waardeering' te hebben voor het initiatief, maar heeft al zoveel 'cultureel en sociaal werk' verricht, dat zijn eigen letterkundige werk er onder ging lijden. Nijhoff is het principieel met de initiatiefnemers eens, 'maar persoonlijk moet ik van medewerking afzien, omdat ik al overstelpt ben met werkzaamheden'. Roland Holst spreekt zich meer uit: hij is 'persoonlijk ten aanzien van cultureele betrekkingen met Duitschland te zeer geremd door twijfel en achterdocht'.Van Vriesland deelt mee dat hij, voorzitter van de P.E.N.-club, geen gelegenheid ziet tot het bijwonen van een lezing.Het Genootschap Nederland-Duitsland werd opgericht in januari 1953 (de maand waarin Nijhoff zou overlijden) en organiseerde lezingen over Duitse kunst en literatuur. Zo las Heinrich Böll in 1960 op uitnodiging van het Genootschap voor uit eigen werk. [Bookseller: Fokas Holthuis - Paulbooks]

A Sound of Thunder. [No place], The Crowell-Collier Publishing Company, 1952. Folio (34,5 x 27 cm). In the original printed wrappers. In "Collier's", 1952. Small white paper label pasted on to lower right part of front wrapper. A few small nicks to wrappers, otherwise a fine and clean copy.. First appearance of Ray Bradbury immensely popular science fiction short story, "the most re-published science fiction story up to the present time" (Contento, Index to Science Fiction Anthologies and Collections) containing the very first presentation of the butterfly effect: The idea that one butterfly could eventually have a far-reaching ripple effect on subsequent historic events.The concept was in 1961 introduced into meteorology and today it is common phrase in chaos theory where it represents the sensitive dependency on initial conditions in which a small change at one place in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state."Ray Bradbury staged the most influential dino-time travel ever written [...]. Although H. G. Wells's influential The Time Machine (1895) is casually regarded as the landmark time travel tale, rather, Ray Bradbury's beloved "A Sound of Thunder" became the launching point for most time travel stories involving prehistoric life." "A Sound of Thunder" begins in the future, in which the time machine has been invented but is still very unpredictable. A hunter named Eckels pays to go traveling back into the past on a guided safari to kill a Tyrannosaurus rex. As the party waits to depart they talk about the recent presidential elections in which an apparently fascist candidate, Deutscher, has just been defeated by the more moderate Keith, to the relief of many concerned. When the party arrives in the past, Travis (the hunting guide) and Lesperance (Travis's assistant) warn Eckels and the two other hunters, Billings and Kramer, about the necessity of minimizing the events they change before they go back, since tiny alterations to the distant past could snowball into catastrophic changes in history. Upon returning to the present, Eckels notices subtle changes. English words are now spelled strangely, people behave differently, and, worst of all, the fascist won the election. Looking through the mud on his boots, Eckels finds a crushed butterfly, whose death was apparently the cause of many changes. In 1961, Edward Lorenz, American mathematician, meteorologist and pioneer of chaos theory, was using a numerical computer model to rerun a weather prediction, when, as a shortcut on a number in the sequence, he entered the decimal 0.506 instead of entering the full 0.506127. The result was a completely different weather scenario. In 1963 Lorenz published a theoretical study of this effect. Elsewhere he said that "One meteorologist remarked that if the theory were correct, one flap of a seagull's wings could change the course of weather forever. Following suggestions from colleagues, in later speeches and papers Lorenz used the more poetic butterfly. According to Lorenz, when he failed to provide a title for a talk he was to present at the 139th meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1972, Philip Merilees came up with "Does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?" as a title [Bookseller: Lynge & Søn A/S]

My [Russian - i.e. We]. New-York, Izdatelstvo Imeni Tsechova, 1952. Original printed cream wrappers with blue lettering. Spine a little cocked, and inner front hinge opening. Block fine and tight. Fine and clean. Imprint-stamp in cyrillic lettering to inside of back wrapper (Izdatelstvo Imeni Tsechova/pri Vostotsno-Evropejskom Fonde).. The very rare first edition of the original Russian version of one of the most interesting works of modern literature, namely Zamyatin's revolutionary novel We, which counts as the first modern dystopia and as the basis and forerunner of Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's Nineteeneightyfour. This first appearance of the work in its original language is considered the authoritative edition and that which constitutes the basis of all new editions and translations of the work. ''We is a Russian novel that first saw the light of day in English in New York. If it were not a Russian novel, that publication history would be moderately spectacular, but under the circumstances it is merely unusual. Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago... and many other twentieth-century Russian classics have all come out first on foreign soil and in a language other than Russian. Zamyatin writes in one place that he composed the novel We in 1920, but he was known for his habit of revising and polishing, and it seems likely that the final text was not completed until the fall of 1921. (Clarence Brown, Introduction to the English translation).The work was first published in 1924, by Dutton, in English, translated by Gregory Zilboorg. A French translation appeared as Nous Autres in 1929, translated by B. Cauvet-Duhamel. By this time, Zamyatin was in considerable trouble at home over these foreign editions of a book that could not get permission to come out in its own country and language. He was merely one of the first of a distinguished company of Soviet writers to suffer in this way.What finally furnished a causis belli to his enemies at home was the publication of We in Prague. A Czech translation by Václav Koenig appeared in 1927 in the Brno newspaper Lidové noviny (Brown). That Czech translation, which came out in book form later the same year, seems to have been based on a faulty manuscript that differed in important ways from the original version. Like Roman Jakobson, who had been involved in the Czech appearance of We, the prolific Russian literary critic Marc Slonim was also in Prague in the late 20'ies. He knew of the novel and wished to bring it out in Russian, in the important journal Volya Rossii. But, knowing that the publication in Russian of a Russian book on foreign soil, and in a journal opposed to the regime at home, would cause Zamyatin grief, Slonim took extraordinary steps to make it appear that his text had actually resulted from a retranslation from the Czech. This might protect Zamyatin from being charged with abetting the publication by supplying a Russin manuscript.The deliberately cryptic editorial note in Volya Rossii reads: One of the most interesting works of modern literature, E. Zamyatin's novel We, depicting the life of people in the 26th century, has not yet appeared... in Russian... With the editor's gracious permission, we herewith present excerpts from the novel... To enhance his deception, Slonim took the even more extraordinary (and deplorable) step of actually rewriting parts of the Russian manuscript in his possession. Of this thoroughly corrupt text only excerpts were actually published: twenty-two chapters, not all of them complete, of the forty in Zamyatin's novel... This abridged Russian verison, further camouflaged by the editor's well-meaning mutilation of Zamyatin's text, hardly qualifies as the first appearance of We in its original language. For that long-postponed event it had to return to New York, where, thenty-eight years after its first English shadow had appeared, the genuine article was published in Zamyatin's own Russian words: My. New York: Izdatelstvo imeni Chekova (Chekov Publishing House), 1952. That Russian text is the basis of this new English translation, and it is the one that was finally published, in 1988, on Russian soil. We was written in response to Zamyatin's personal experiences during the Russian revolution of 1905, the Russian revolution of 1917, his life in Newcastle - where, being a trained marine engineer, he was sent to oversee ice-breaker construction for the Imperial Russian Navy -, and his work in the Tyne shipyards during the First World War, where he observed the collectivization of labour on a large scale. We is generally accepted as the grandfather of the satirical futuristic dystopia genre. Depicting the totalitarian and conformative aspects of modern industrial society and taking them to an extreme conclusion, the novel portrays a state in which free will and free thought are evil entities that can only cause unhappiness and unbalance. The entire state and the lives of the citizens are controlled with mathematical precision, the basis of which is the system of industrial efficiency created by Frederick Winslow Taylor, the great oracle of the state.It is generally believed that both Orwell and Huxley found their main sources of inspiration in Zamyatin's revolutionary novel. Although Huxley claimed not to have been acquainted with We, Orwell indicated that he must have been lying about that. In Player Piano (1952), Kurt Vonnegut famously said that in writing it, he cheerfully ripped off the plot of Brave New World, whose plot had been cheerfully ripped off from Yevgeny Zamyatin's We.Orwell read We in the French translation in 1948, after which he wrote his famous review of the novel. About eight months later, he began writing Nineteeneightyfour. He is reportedly said himself that he was taking it as the model for his next novel. Among reviewers and literary critics, Zamyatin's influence on Orwell seems to be beyond dispute. Indeed, the two novels have so many features in common, that it seems impossible for Nineteeneightyfour not to have been directly inspired by We. It is perhaps better not to be too solemn about Zamyatin's wonderfully appealing novel. Its distinction as a work of art and as a political statement about several peculiarly modern dilemmas will need little defence - its having constantly found a wide international audience ever since it first came out in 1924 seems an earnest for that. And for George Orwell, author of 1984, and for certain others bent on creating their own dystopias, it appears to have been THE crucial literary experience.
