‎1st edition. Later boards. 8vo. 153 pages, 25 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates to “From My Notebook.” Medem (1879-1923) was a Russian Jewish activist and ideologue of the Jewish Labor Bund. The Jewish Labour Bund, founded in 1897 in the Lithuanian Vilnius, was committed to the cultural and national rights of Jews in Eastern Europe. In this regard, Medem dared to oppose the view of Russian Marxists, and even of Lenin. These objectives received support in Central and Western Europe, e.g. from Austromarxists, and especially in several Jewish immigrant workers' clubs in Paris, whose members described themselves as Bundists. One such club, which also saw the education of the workers as its main task was given the name Arbeter-klub afn nomen Vladimir Medem (Workers' Club on behalf of Vladimir Medem). His educational policy ambitions culminated in 1929 in the founding of the Medem Library, which at 30,000 volumes is now the largest Yiddish cultural institution in Europe (Wikipedia, 2019). SUBJECTS: Socialism - Zionism - Nationalism and socialism. OCLC lists 11 copies worldwide (OCLC:144652941). Pages toning, Very good condition. First Edition of an Important Memoir.

‎MEHMET GÜNDEM.‎

‎A redundant man: Ishak Alaton. Cemeteries are full of indispensable people.‎

‎New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 576 p., ills. "At an early age, I started questioning myself, wondering what there was beyond becoming wealthy. When I reached 65, I wrote an essay. It's title was "The Ability to Become Redundant." As I advance in age, the time I had left became more limited while the number of books waiting to be read on my shelves increased. I needed to find a solution to this contradictory situation. I needed to change my lifestyle. I reduced the time I wasted sleeping to the minimum. Transferring my business responsibilities to the younger generation sooner would address this situation. I took rapid steps in that direction. It was a great source of pride for me to see professionals who had absorbed the principles set from the beginning by the founders. It value this more and more. I see becoming redundant as the crowning of my life." Now when I look back as a man who has reached 85, I believe I have covered quite a distance. Life isn't as long as one thinks. Time flows and passes. What is left behind is what you've done, the causes you have struggled for. Don't forget that what we call life is not about the years you have spent, it is made of what you've experienced. Everything starts small, it starts with small steps. Unexpected obstacles appear at unexpected moment, obstacles emerge in front of you and you are being tested. Of course, there are opportunities too. Your character and your attitude develop as a result of what you've experienced. It is good that I realised early, after I had earned some money, that owning more money wasn't very important. It is good that I made success appear ordinary, that I diversified my assets. It is good that I pursued my quest and confronted the question "what will I strive for in my life?". It is good that I always sought respectability. It is good that I met Üzeyir Garih. It is good that in time I left the business to professionals. It is good that I embarked on the way to become redundant. It is good that I freed myself and relieved myself of my burdens. It is good that I wasn't raised with a single identity. It is good that I turned to my social responsibilities. It is good that I thought, and expressed my opinions courageously. It is good that I didn't pay attention to threats. It is good that I questioned myself and the society, that is you. It is good that I said: "let's cleanse ourselves of our sins". It is good that I became an "early crowing rooster". I live every day with the aim of becoming a more perfect and a more useful human being.".‎

‎Original publisher’s cloth in dramatic modernist color illustrated dust jacket designed by Zuni Maud with illustrations on front and rear; 8vo, 243 pages. 23 cm. In Yiddish. SUBJECT (S) : Yiddish literature -- 20th century. Illustrator Zuni Maud (born 1905) was an “Artist, cartoonist, puppeteer, playwright, writer and poet. [He] Studied at the Cooper Union Art School, Baron de Hirsch Art School and National Academy of Art, New York. [and] Did illustrations for *Der kibitser* and stage and costume design for productions by Maurice Schwartz in the Yiddish Art Theater. Contributed articles to Der kundes (N. Y. ) , Jewish Daily Forward (N. Y. ) , Di tsayt (N. Y. ) , Kinderland (N. Y. ) , Kinder zshurnal (N. Y. ) , Frayhayt (N. Y. ) . [He was the] Illustrator of a number of books. In 1925, together with Yosel Cutler, [he] founded the ‘Modicot’ marionette theater. [He] Wrote plays, children's stories and poems” (YIVO, 2018) . Author Yitzchak Rayz (1885-1943) , “better known by his pen name Moyshe Nadir was an American Yiddish language writer and satirist…. In 1898, at the age of 13, Rayz immigrated to New York and adopted the Americanized name Isaac Reiss. Within a few years his work was published widely in the New York Yiddish press, under a variety of pseudonyms, including Rinnalde Rinaldine, Dilensee Mirkarosh, Der Royzenkavalir, Doctor Hotzikl, and, finally, Moishe Nadir. The name ‘Nadir’ is a Yiddish expression meaning ‘here you are’ or ‘that's for you, ’ but can also mean ‘take this and choke on it. ’ As a teenager, he wrote for Der Groyser Kundes (The Big Prankster) and later co-edited Der Yiddisher Gazlon (The Yiddish Bandit) with Jacob Adler. He wrote for an assortment of Communist Yiddish publications including the Frayhayt (Freedom) newspaper and its successor Morgn Frayhayt (Morning Freedom) and the magazines Der Signal (The Signal) and Der Hammer (The Hammer) . When his sharp-tongued theater reviews caused him to be banned from theatrical productions, he resorted to attending plays in disguise. His own plays were performed by Maurice Schwartz’s Yiddish Art Theater, Zuni Maude and Yosl Cutlers Modicut puppet theater, Artef (Arbeter Teater Faraband, Workers Theater Alliance) and the Federal Theater Project. Among his better known poems are the erotic Vilde Royzen (Wild Roses, 1915) and his 1932 Rivington Strit (Rivington Street) . After a long association with the Frayhayt and the Morgn Frayhayt, Rayz began to distance himself from the Communist cause with the onset of the show trials in the Soviet Union and publicly broke with the Morgn Frayhayt in the wake of the Molotiv-Ribbentrop Pact. He set out his reasons in ‘Di, vos blayben mit der Morgn Frayhayt’ (‘Those who stay with the Morgn Frayhayt’) in response to Morgn Frayhayt editor Moissaye Olgin’s ‘Di vos gayen avek’ (‘Those who leave’) . Rayz discusses his relationship to the Communist Party in his posthumous ‘Moyde Ani’ (Wikipedia, 2019) . Very Good Condition in dust jacket which shows some edgewear affecting some letters on the spine. Very Good in Good Jacket. (yid-41-92)‎
