‎Essay on Warm and Vapour Baths, with Hints for a New Mode of Applying Heat and Cold, for the Cure of Disease, and the Preservation of Health, Illustrated By Cases. With an Appendix Containing Observations on Scrophula and on Pulmonic Complaints... with cases treated by vapour bath by Edward Kentish, M. D. physician to the Bristol Dispensary, The second edition.‎

‎In 8° (22,5x14,3); (2), XI, (1), 178, (4 delle quali due conteneti su una facciata l'errata). Legatura coeva in cartoncino rigido con titolo in nero su fascetta la dorso (qualche minimo segno del tempo). Dedica autografa di Kentish al recto del frontespizio. Esemplare ancora in barbe ed in buone condizioni di conservazione. Seconda edizione, stampata lo stesso anno della prima e arricchita dalla dedica autografa dell'autore, di questa importante opera del notro fisico e medico originario di Bristol Edward Kentish. L'opera è uno studio approfondito dedicato a vari tipi di bagni di vapore e saune come il bagno di vapore russo, turco, indiano ed ai loro effetti benefici sui reumatismi, nei trattamenti oftalmici, nelle malattie polmonari e per una generale salute del corpo umano. Il successo del suo scritto fu immediato tanto che le copie finirono subito e nello stesso anno si procedette ad una seconda edizione che è prorpio quella qui presentata (rara quanto la prima se non di più). Kentish descrive anche vari casi reali da lui personalmente seguiti. Si legge nell'opera: "All exanthematic diseases are abated by bathing: consequently, then, the small-pox; and if this dreadful disorder be actually less fatal in Russia than in other countries this phenomonon needs not to be attributed to any other cause than their great use of vapour Baths. Doctor Sanchez appears to be of the same opinion, from what he has said on the small pox, and other eruptive diseases. He likewise observes that all indispositions, arising from violent exercise, producing chills, with all the attendant bad consequences; that inflamations of any part of the body, even if attended with external or internal tumours, and fever; may be successfully combatted by the Russian Baths: also in all chronic diseases, arising from excesses of eating and drinking and the gratifying of other inordinate pleasure, which debilitate and ennervate both the body and mind, the attentive physician will find considerable aid in the use of the Russian Baths ...". Opera assai rara, nessun esemplare censito in ICCU.‎

‎Khashtshevatski, M. [Moyshe]‎

‎HARTE VOR‎

‎1st edition of author’s second book. Period boards with original modernist wrappers mounted front and back. 12mo, 62 pages; 22 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as “Hard Reality.” Beautiful modernist typographical title and author on front cover, signed by artist in the print (illegible). Moyshe Khashtshevatski (1897 - 1943) “was born in Buky, near Uman, Ukraine. He father was a teacher in the local Talmud-Torah. He studied in religious elementary school and in a Talmud-Torah, and in 1916 he graduated from the commercial school in Uman. In the last years of WWI and the first years of the Russian Revolution, he was studying at the Universities of Petrograd and Ekaterinburg. In 1918 (April 6) he debuted in print with a poem, entitled “Friling kumt” (Spring comes), in Di naye tsayt (The new times) in Kiev—using the pen name M. Mishal. In 1921 he moved to Kiev, where he forged a strong bond with the local Yiddish writers (Dobrushin, Hofshteyn, Dis Nister, and others), and from that point he enhanced ever more his reputation as a creator and builder of Soviet Yiddish literature. In the Soviet Yiddish periodicals of Kiev, Kharkov, Minsk, and Moscow, he published poetry and ballads. He also translated from the Russian and Ukrainian classics, as well as from other languages. From 1923 over the course of three years, he contributed intensively to Emes (Truth) in Moscow, and he actively took part in the Soviet community and political life. His first works were in the symbolist vein, although he would later switch to a more realistic depiction of life and address the major issues of the time. He brought new motifs and imagery into Soviet Yiddish poetry. His range of interest was extremely broad. His books include: Dorsht (Thirst), poems (Kiev, 1922), 31 pp.; Harte vor (Hard reality) (Moscow, 1924), 62 pp.;” and 38 other titles. “Shortly after the outbreak of the Nazi-Soviet war in 1941, he was evacuated to Samarkand, Uzbekistan, and there he learned of the death at the front of his only son. He proceeded to volunteer for mobilization into the Red Army, despite the fact that he was forty-six years of age. He contributed in the harshest of battles in that period of the fighting and died in battle. ‘Moyshe Khashtshevatski is, it seems to me,’ wrote Shmuel Niger, ‘[was] the most candid among all Yiddish poets in Ukraine. His lyric poetry was born with an old, broken, wrinkled, quietly suffering soul; unabashed, he says that it is old, broken, wrinkled, and suffering in silence. He makes no pretense and no heroic or demagogic poses. It does not shake the earth and demonstrates no valor against the empty, blue skies.’” (Borekh Tshubinski in Yiddish Leksikon, 2017). For more on Khashtshevatski, see M. Litvakov, In umru (Disquiet), vol. 2 (Moscow, 1926), M. Litvakov, In umru (Disquiet), vol. 2 (Moscow, 1926), pp. 189-219; D.

‎The History of the Gulag : From Collectivization to the Great Terror‎

‎Quarto in black jacket illus in b&w; xviii, 418 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm.; bibliographical references and indexes. Translated from the Russian. "The human cost of the Gulag, the Soviet labor camp system in which millions of people were imprisoned between 1920 and 1956, was staggering. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and others after him have written movingly about the Gulag, yet never has there been a thorough historical study of this unique and tragic episode in Soviet history. This book presents the first comprehensive, historically accurate account of the camp system. Russian historian Oleg Khlevniuk has mined the contents of extensive archives, including long-suppressed state and Communist Party documents, to uncover the secrets of the Gulag and how it became a central component of Soviet ideology and social policy." ó Publisher. Contents: Origins of the Stalinist gulag -- Famine -- Stabilization of the system -- The great terror -- Beria's "reforms" -- Mobilization and repression -- The victims -- Conclusion: The price of terror -- Brief biographies -- List of selected camps and projects of the OGPU-NKVD -- Excerpts from the Criminal codes of the RSFSR and the Constitution of the USSR. // Internment camps -- Soviet Union -- History.
