Men Against the Stars

1950rif. 000365New York: Gnome Press 1950. First Edition . Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good Plus. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Cartier Edd jacket. New York: Gnome Press 1950. First Edition. Introduction by Willy Ley. Edited by Martin Greenberg this copy signed inscribed and presented by him to Arthur C. Clarke. Octavo 351 pp. Purple cloth-backed gray cloth boards with silver spine titling and blindstamped launching-spaceship and star motif on purple margin. Pictorial dustjacket by sci-fi illustration luminary Edd Cartier. A near fine book with only minor page edge soiling and a trace of partial spine fade in a Very Good jacket showing light perimeter wear. Singular copy inscribed and presented to Arthur C. Clarke by Greenberg with provenance of unimpeachable order accompanying the book. An increasingly classic collection of short stories by some of the now-timeless sci-fi names. Willy Ley: "Here is a different type of anthology. This book taken in its entirety tells a story: the conquest of space. Moving from man's first attempt to reach the moon to the exploration of the ends of the universe these stories are among the finest ever published." - Willy Ley. Hailed by critics at the time of its publication as a quantum leap forward in both quality and concept for science fiction anthologies Martin Greenberg's thematically edited Men Against the Stars is a collection of twelve lengthy stories whose authors read like a Who's Who of Golden Age sci-fi including Isaac Asimov Murray Leinster A.E. Van Vogt L. Ron Hubbard Hubbard's "When Shadows Fall" is here and E.M. Hull. Not a slap-dash aggregation to get to the printer quickly Greenberg's collection was a thoroughly contemplated and planned project a selection of the very finest available stories on theme ranging back as far as 1939. Nicely complimented by a Cartier's funky pure genre period stylization jacket. A sci-fi presentation copy of the highest sort that of a veteran and astute editor to a future superstar. Arthur C. Clarke's reputation at the time was already becoming established and Greenberg shows the admiration in his skilled critical eye for Clarke's sci-fi talents in his presentation remark.

Freienstein - Zürich Alte Brücke über die Töss. Öl auf Holz links unten signiert.

rif. 1059591977. 62 x 71 cm gerahmt 49 x 56 cm Schönes Ex. Erste Erwähnung des «grossen Steges über die Töss» in der jüngeren Offnung von Rorbas im Jahre 1521. Man findet den offenen Steg auch in der Gygerkarte von 1667 und dem Zehntenplan von 1770. Dieser Steg stand wenige Meter oberhalb der heutigen Brücke. Etwas weiter unten gegen die Wildbachmündung befand sich die Furt für die Fuhrwerke. Die Kämpfe von 1799 zwischen den Franzosen und Österreichern sowie einem Hochwasser von 1803 setzten dem Holzsteg arg zu. Es musste dringend eine Neukonstruktion erstellt werden. Ab 1804 setzten sich verschiedene Persönlichkeiten nachhaltig für einen Brücken-neubau ein. Holz war damals sehr teuer rund 4200 Schuh Holz für das Lehrgerüst stammten aus dem Staatswald Hard. Steine gut 600 Kubikmeter konnten aus dem gemeindeeigenen Tuff-Steinbruch geschlagen werden. Die Ge-meinden leisteten viel Fronarbeit. Der Brückenkörper allein kostete 4'500; die Gesamtkosten beliefen sich auf 8’715 Gulden. Nach einem Staatsbeitrag und Einzelspenden von je 1’000 Gulden wurden die Gemeindebeiträge wie folgt aufgeteilt: Rorbas 4/9 Freienstein 3/9 und Teufen 2/9. Die 8’715 Gulden würden heute etwa 1.6 Millionen Franken entsprechen. Die Brücke wurde von dem Niederglatter Maurermeister Volkart realisiert. Mangels Mustern in der Ost-schweiz und dem Zeitgeiste der Mediation entsprechend wurde die Brücke nach dem Vorbild von franz. Kunststrassen gebaut. Der Bau fand in einer politischen Umbruchzeit Zeit statt. Rorbas Freienstein u. Teufen waren unterschiedlichen Bezirken zugehörig. Die Gemeindekassen waren von den Schäden und Ein-quartierungen des Krieges leer. Erstaunlich dass unter so schlechten Rahmen-bedingungen trotzdem ein gelungenes Werk entstehen konnte. So kamen unsere Gemeinden zu der ersten Steinbogenbrücke im Kanton. Bis in die heutige Zeit ist die «Alte Brücke» das verbindende Wahrzeichen der beiden Dörfer. - Bärtschi Willy Alexander 1906 - 1995 Maler Dozent und Publizist .Bauernsohn aus Lützelflüh Gymnasien in Zürich und Frauenfeld Kontakt mit dem Werk des Philosophen Holzapfel. 1928 Eintritt in die Kunstakademie Breslau die er aber bald wieder verliess. 1929 Eintritt in die Kunstakademie in Dresden ab 1930 Schüler von Otto Dix. Von 1934–1938 lebte Bärtschi als freier Maler in Dresden. 1938 Rückkehr nach Zürich kleinere Arbeiten für die Landi. Nach dem Aktivdienst 1943 Lehrer an der Kunstgewerbeschule in Zürich. Nach der Pensionierung 1971 widmete er sich wieder der Malerei. 010 1977 unknown

GERMAN ANARCHISM FROM THE POSTWAR ERA TO THE RAF Befreiung: anarchistische Zeitung Liberation: an anarchist newspaper. 60 issues from vols. 24 1971 through 30 1977.; Zentralorgan der Germ.-Spontis

rif. P6615Mülheim/Ruhr and from December 1972 Cologne: self-published 1970-1977. Quartos 30 × 21 cm. Original mostly pictorial self-wrappers a few issues staple-stitched; each issue between 14 and 32 pp. with numerous illustrations. A few issues have been punched and somewhat closely trimmed; in the July 1971 issue pages 9 and 10 are missing; otherwise with only light signs of wear and handling and about very good. Extensive run of seven nearly complete years see list below of the longest-running periodical of postwar German anarchism. The journal often printed monthly appeared from 1948 to 1978. The years offered here from 1971 to 1978 were presumably the most politically eventful for the clandestine periodical which following the student protests of 1967 and 1968 sought to hold its own alongside the numerous new socialist and communist organizations and publications. The founder and longtime editor Willy Huppertz 1904-1978 had already been active as an anarcho-syndicalist worker during the Weimar Republic. After surviving National Socialism including imprisonment in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp he founded his first anarchist periodical in the Soviet occupation zone together with Wilhelm Jelinek. After Huppertz moved to West Germany Jelinek sent him the subscribers' list in order to keep it out of the reach of the Soviet secret service. Jelinek was arrested by the Soviet army in 1948 and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He died in the notorious prison in Bautzen. Cf. Michael Kubina Von Utopie Widerstand und Kaltem Krieg Hamburg 2001 pp. 269f. Huppertz continued his anarchist publishing activities in West Germany's industrial Ruhr region. From 1948 onward his anarchist periodical appeared under the name "Befreiung." As an anarchist he viewed the student protests that began in the late 1960s and the extra-parliamentary opposition APO with skepticism. This skepticism was directed on the one hand at Marxists of the Leninist and Maoist varieties but also on the other at the anti-authoritarian movement of the hippies which was being "swallowed up" by "record producers and organizers of pop festivals." One of the issues addressing the counterculture states: "They do business with you your drugs and your music. Jimi Hendrix is just as much a brand-name product as Peter Alexander German-language popular singer. . What you are doing is merely a skillful accommodation to capitalism. By refusing to work and living by begging e.g. in sunny fascist Spain or Greece you in no way unsettle the system of exploitation" June 1971 p. 7. Huppertz was nevertheless able for example to connect with the squatting movement and with small anarchist groups that were able to establish themselves alongside the socialist and communist organizations. Despite the political differences the "Baader-Meinhof Group" RAF became a subject from 1972 onward insofar as the anarchist milieu saw itself confronted by a "police state." In February 1972 issues and distribution materials were confiscated in Cologne and Mülheim and investigations were initiated for "supporting the Baader-Meinhof Group." Since the fall of 1970 the group "Anarchosyndikat Köln" had been involved in the editorial work. In 1974 Huppertz handed over the editorial work entirely to the Cologne group under the leadership of Ralf Stein. That same year Stein was arrested and in 1975 sentenced to one year in prison without a suspended sentence for supporting the Baader-Meinhof Group denigration of the Federal Republic of Germany and incitement of the people.

Type design by Roger Excoffon. B. Arthaud Paris 1954. 96 pp. Quarto 11 x 9 in./28 x 23 cm First edition. Vol. II in the collection "Les Imaginaires". Hardbound with illustrated boards. Original acetate jacket and printed belly band. 93 gravure reproductions printed by Braun & Co. BOOK CONDITION: Near Fine; a solid tight clean copy with light wear to edges and corners light tap to upper spine; in a Fine clear acetate dust jacket with slight wear at crown of spine including a tiny chip and tear to acetate; in a Fine yellow belly band with signs of uneven fading at spine; housed in a Near Fine brown cardboard slipcase original showing light rubbing wear and fading alog margins. The scarce hardbound issue of Ronis's classic! Before his death in 2009 Willy Ronis was one of the last of the surviving documentary photographers in the humanist tradition of Kertesz and Cartier-Bresson. During the 40s and 50s he was a prolific chronicler of many corners of French social life especially the working people of Paris. He tended to wear his politics on his sleeve often photographing strikes demonstrations occupations of factories and the like. For this reason he also kept his distance from the American and British press. In this scarce volume Pierre Mac Orlan offers his paean to the authenticity of these working class neighborhoods of Belleville-Menilmontant. Ronis discovered the area through Daniel Pipart a painter and friend of his wife who kept a studio there. He visited and photographed regularly from 1947-1950 with the aim of one day making a book from the images. Ronis's images like countless Realist artists before him aim to capture the poetry of the streets. Ever respectful of his subjects Ronis's gaze is always affectionate and discrete. Unlike many documentary photographers who search out freaks and weirdoes Ronis seeks out the typical and the ordinary. Yet beneath the surface one senses a subtle sense of melancholy and muted nostalgia. A masterpiece of book design and typography! The images contained in Belleville-Menilmontant are certainly among Ronis's finest and provide an essential point of entry into his work. Included in MM. Auer: 802 Photo Books. B. Artaud hardcover
