1919réf. 43051New York: Libreria Rossa N.d. ca 1919. First Edition. 12mo 18cm. Staple-bound pamphlet; printed thick paper wrappers; 24pp. Slight aging; mild creasing to spine; Very Good. Text entirely in Italian. Communist tract issued shortly after the Russian revolution calling for an immediate proletarian revolution in Italy with socialization of industry and agriculture; closure of borders to prevent the flight of the bourgeoisie; and the "management of the new society through a free arrangement of persons and competent groups" ".persone e di gruppi competenti interessati all soluzione di ogni singolo problema tecnico e sociale". The pseudonym "Emme" is unknown to us; nor is it certain from which "Libreria Rossa" this pamphlet originated - "libreria rossa" "red bookshop" being a common enough appelation among Italian-American radical booksellers of all political stripes during this period. One copy only in OCLC; not seen in commerce; not in Periconi. Libreria Rossa unknown books

1971réf. 16792Roma: Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada 1971. First Edition. Lithographed poster offset in three colors; 100cm x 70cm ca 40" x 28"; on heavy paper. Minor toning; light creases at margins; Near Fine - Grade A/A-. A bit of a puzzle: the poster appears to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the formation of the Associazione Bandiera Rossa an Italian Trotskyist group; but the poster bears the imprint of the PCI the main-line Marxist-Leninist party in Italy -- an ideological implausibility even within the chaotic confines of Italian Marxism. Adding further to the confusion is a quotation from Antonio Gramsci founder of the PCI in upper right. In any case a terrific graphic attributed here to Luciano Prati whose name we encounter on a few late-70s Italian film posters but nowhere else. Duke University appears to be the only North American institution to hold a catalogued copy of this work. Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada unknown books

Stiff decorative card wrappers; silver foil dustjacket; 8pp. Presentation copy with mounted photographic portrait of Balabanoff 5" x 3" inside front wrapper inscribed in ink: "For my dear friends F&T Lewis with many many heartiest wishes!" dated 1939. Jacket worn and partially detached; text block loose in wrappers; complete just Good. The text consists of Balabanoff's anti-Fascist poem "Human Tears" printed in English French Russian cyrillic Italian and German versions. A much-expanded collection of Balabanoff's poems with the same title was published in New York in 1943; the current volume privately printed and extremely fragile is seldom encountered. Angelica Balabanoff 1878-1965 an Italian Jew was among the founders of the Italian Communist Party in 1900; she joined the Russian Bolsheviks in 1917 and served as secretary of the Comintern from 1919-20 during which time she became closely affiliated with Lenin Trotsky Zinoviev and many others. She broke with the Bolsheviks and left Russia in 1922 after which she once again became active in the Italian Socialist party. During Mussolini's regime she went into exile first in Switzerland then Paris and finally New York City during which time she published a number of multilingual editions of her poetry.
