Oblong folio 15" x 12" bound in full dark green linen with a black leather spine label lettered in gilt. Translated by John Felstiner and illustrated with photogravures by Edward Ranney. This poem is the result of a visit by the Chilean winner of the Nobel Prize to the mysterious citadel in Peru built by the Incas.

Yet the inhabitants of this generous land live in great poverty. What then should be the poet's duty" quoted in Eisner p. 316. The Heights of Macchu Picchu was first published in English in 1966.

In custom folding chemise and morocco backed slipcase. First trade edition. 210 4 pp. 12mo. Neruda's final book of verse inscribed in green ink to two renowned Chilean painters and fellow leftists: "Salud! a José Balmes y Gracia Barrios Pablo Neruda 1973 Isla Negra." An outstanding association copy of one of Neruda's most controversial works. A polemic on behalf of Salvador Allende's Unidad Popular party ahead of Congressional elections in March of 1973 "Incitement to Nixoncide and Praise for the Chilean Revolution" was prompted by US attempts to undermine the Allende government in favor of pro-US business elements inside Chile. As Neruda explains in the prologue to the poem cycle in translation: "My song is a tough attack on the enemies of my people as hard as Araucanian stone. This may be an ephemeral function. But I am fulfilling it. And I am resorting to the oldest weapons available to poetry: song and pamphleteering used by the classics and the romantics with the aim of destroying the enemy. So stand firm I'm about to fire the first shot!" Allende's government was toppled nevertheless by a US-backed military junta headed by Augusto Pinochet in September 1973. See Feinstein Pablo Neruda pp. 392ff for more on the political context in which the book was written. The Chilean painters José Balmes 1927-2016 and Gracia Barrios b. 1927 were active in Unidad Popular politics at the time of this inscription. In the same year Balmes created a series of works "Imaginarios del Canto General" based on texts from Neruda's epic "Canto General." Their relationship began decades earlier however: born in Catalonia Balmes arrived in Chile with 2200 other refuges from the Spanish Civil War in 1939 aboard the SS Winnipeg; a rescue mission which Neruda as Special Consul for Immigration personally orchestrated.

1937rif. 1259652 Vols. set : Vol.1 'Authors Take Sides on the Spanish War'. The sole UK printing published by Left Review London in 1937. The pamphlet BOOK is in Very Good condition. Original printed yellow and red card covers. Internally the 32 pages are staple bound and the binding remains tight. Just the merest hint of light rusting to the staples internally. Light spotting throughout due the quality of the paper stock used a little heavier in places. Free from inscriptions and erasures. There is some professional transparent reinforcement tape to the front and rear inner hinges where the covers have become detached from the spine but this is barely discernable. Some light edge wear to the spine ends of the thin card printed covers which are mildly toned in places but are remarkably clean for their age. A scarce survivor of what was a cheap production. The book is protected in a removable Mylar archival cover. A very scarce pamphlet containing contributions from 148 British and Irish authors on their personal stance on the Spanish Civil War. The question posed is: 'Are you for or against the legal Government and the People of Republican Spain Are you for or against Franco and Fascism' and is signed off by Aragon W. H. Auden Jean Richard Bloch Nancy Cunard Brian Howard Heinrich Mann Ivor Montagu Pablo Neruda Ramon Sender Stephen Spender and Tristan Tzara. The publisher states its limitations within a six penny pamphlet i.e. that it has indeed selected the responses likely based on its own motivation though it does say the responses herein are representative but more so from the weight of the authors themselves. Indeed it contains most of the powerhouse names of British and Irish literature; W. H. Auden Samuel Beckett who perhaps satirically simply writes UPTHEREPUBLIC! Cyril Connolly Alastair Crowley with his name misspelt C. Day Lewis Liam O Flaherty Ford Madox Ford David Garnett Victor Gollancz Aldous Huxley Storm Jameson John Lehmann Sylvia Pankhurst Herbert Read Stephen Spender Olaf Stapledon Leonard Woolf and many others. T. S. Eliot Ezra Pound Vera Brittain H. G. Wells and Vita Sackville-West among others declare themselves neutral the latter questioning the publication s terminology in the question regarding a legal government. And against the government appears Arthur Machen Edmund Blunden Evelyn Waugh and others. An extremely scarce pamphlet a rare survivor in all senses which gave audiences direct insights into ideas and worlds some authors seldom expressed themselves in and a hugely important booklet. This extremely scarce pamphlet is one of an edition of three thousand copies which sold out immediately on publication. JSIC reports 13 holdings at institutions. Vol.2 : Writers Take Sides On The Question : Are you for or are you against Franco and Fascism Letters about the War in Spain from 418 American Authors .
