1929réf. 73155Paris: Editorial "Le Livre Libre 1929. 2 volumes 8vo pp. 5 10-452 2; 7 10-519 1; one of two frontispiece portraits in volume I; high school prize for Cuban Revolutionary Emigrants rubberstamp on both half-titles filled in in ink and dated 1949; postal export slip dated 2004 laid in; original gilt-stamped red cloth recased with new endpapers; the binding a bit dull and spotted but nicely rebacked in red gilt-stamped calf. The recipient of the prize was a woman Maria Elana Diez. This is very likely María Elena Diaz Suarez 1931-2022 "an accomplished educated well-read woman. She was a top student at the University of Havana until her education was disrupted by the Cuban Revolution. She finished her undergraduate degree at Montclair State University in the 1970s. She then went to work at the Bell Company compiling information for the voluminous telephone books that were a staple of every home in that era" see her loving and interesting obituary at: www.megaromemorialhome.com/obituaries/Maria-Elena-DiazobId=26758616 for an account of her politically active life in Cuba before arriving in the U.S. in 1966. Don Tomás Estrada Palma 1835-1908 was a prominent Cuban politician military leader and the first President of Cuba 1902-1906. This copy lacks the portrait and the one-page testimonial to Gerardo Machado y Morales the Cuban president at the time this book was published and presumably lacking on purpose. Machado y Morales was a general of the Cuban War of Independence and President of Cuba from 1925 to 1933. A putative dictator he "won a non-democratic election where the opposition was repressed. As protests and rebellions became more strident his administration curtailed free speech and imprisoned exiled and murdered Machado's opponents . Ultimately in 1933 Machado was forced to step down" Wikipedia. The missing portrait and testimonial whether at the hands of Ms. Diaz or not and the high-school prize stamp for a politically active Cuban woman give this book a bit of added interest.
