Kuhle Wampe oder Wem gehort die Welt Who Owns the World Whither Germany Original poster for the 1932 film

1933réf. 138407Germany: Kinematrade 1933. Vintage US poster for the 1932 German communist propaganda film "Kuhle Wampe oder Wem gehort die Welt" The subtitle is seen here under the English translation "Whither Germany." Circa 1933 as identified by the name of the Philadelphia theatre on the poster. The last and arguably most important communist film of the Weimar era "Kuhle Wampe oder" is according to screenwriter Brecht a "Collective Presentation" that tells the tale of a family in early 1930s Berlin. After the son is prolongedly unemployed he commits suicide and the family is forced to relocate to a shantytown known as "Kuhle Wampe" or "Empty Stomach." Created under severely limited material conditions with filming constantly being broken up by the Weimar government's paramilitary SA agency the film attempts to depict archetypes of the times including an intellectual clash on a subway between members of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Banned first by the failing Weimar Republic and subsequently by the Nazi Reich the film was believed to have been lost until it reappeared over 20 years later in East Germany in 1958. This poster likely originates from screenings held in November 1933 by an unknown pro-communist organization in Philadelphia at the short lived left-leaning Philkino theater. A US screening of this film dating before the film's disappearance and only just after the very beginnings of Hitler's rise to power makes this poster not only very scarce but one of significant historical value. The poster touting "Kuhle Wampe" as "The Film Hitler Burned" features an image of a man with a hammer and sickle attacking two snakes that form the Nazi swastika and touts the involvement of members of the "Labor Sports Union" in the film. 9.5 x 13 inches letterpress on pale faded pink stock. Very Good condition with a couple of tiny chips at the extremities and moderate creasing. Kinematrade unknown books

Chikhi i chukhi Die Rundköpfe und die Spitzköpfe oder Reich und reich gesellt sich gern. Authorized translation by Valentin Stenich and Semen I. Kirsanov

réf. P004280Moscow: Khudozhestvennaia literatura 1936. Octavo 22 × 15 cm. Original pictorial embossed cloth; 197 3 pp. Twelve full-page illustrations and thirteen vignettes by Evgenii Kogan who has signed and inscribed this copy most likely to the writer Lev Grigorevich Gel'man 1864-1951. Very good. Authorized Russian translation from the German manuscript of Bertold Brecht's play known in English as "Round Heads and Pointed Heads" written shortly before Hitler was elected Reichskanzler. It has been described as "Brecht's first anti-Fascist play one of the few which Brecht directed during his years of exile . Round Heads and Pointed Heads would become a lightning rod in the literary politics of exile in Moscow" Stephen Parker Brecht: A Literary Life 300-301. While initially conceived as an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Measure by Measure" the rapid growth of National-Socialism prompted Brecht to depart from his original inspiration. The play became a clear parody of the Nazi's demagogery and racial politics set in the fictive country "Peru" whose inhabitants are divided into "round heads" "Tschuchen" and the "pointy heads" "Tschichen" leading to radicalization and violence. The play's genealogy and reception are complex: scheduling conflicts prevented it from being premiered in Berlin in January 1932. After going into exile in 1933 Brecht rewrote the piece for a performance in Copenhagen which was cancelled due to censorship concerns; a planned performance directed by Piscator in Moscow in 1935-1936 did not materialize nor was Brecht able to secure contracts in France. In November 1936 the play premiered in a Danish-language performance; its first German production would come only in 1948. This Russian translation is the first full appearance of the play in print in any version an English translation followed in 1937 and the first German edition of the finalized text appeared in 1938. In a curious division of labor blank verse and prose were translated by Valentin Stenich; couplets and songs by Semen Kirsanov. Both were noted avant-garde poets in their own right. Stenich later fell victim to Stalin's Purges: he was arrested for his well-known anti-Soviet views and shot in 1938. With an effusive inscription by the Soviet artist Evgenii Kogan 1906-1983 a student of Vkhutemas and later Vladimir Favorsky. As a result the book may subsequently have been removed from circulation. One of 3000 copies.
