Rozewicz TadeuszMareMagnum
1971In 8°; 279, (1) pp. Brossura editoriale con sopraccoperta editoriale illustrata. Buono stato di conservazione. Dedica autografa di Rozewicz al noto critico letterario e traduttore polacco, Jerzy Lisowskiego: “Jerzy, Jerzy Oj! Jerzy (sciskam cie serdecnie), Tadeusz, Dn 19.12. 1971”. Prima edizione di quest’opera del famoso poeta, scrittore e drammaturgo Tadeusz Rózewicz (Radomsko, 9 ottobre 1921 – Breslavia, 24 aprile 2014). Formatosi nella Polonia riunificatasi dopo la fine della prima guerra mondiale, pubblicò le prime opere nel 1938. Durante la Seconda guerra mondiale militò nell’esercito nazionale di resistenza polacco assieme al fratello Janusz (egli pure poeta), che fu ucciso dalla Gestapo nel 1944. Uscì fortemente provato dal conflitto rivivendo l’esperienza in diverse opere. La sua opera poetica fu grandemente apprezzata da alcuni dai maggiori esponenti della poesia polacca come Leopold Staff, Julian Pzybós e Czeslaw Milosz. Negli anni 60’ la sua produzione letteraria si sposta verso la drammaturgia producendo varie opere teatrali di grande successo, scritte nel solco del teatro dell’assurdo e sviluppando uno stile particolare, dove i spunti di grande valore lirico, si mischiano a situazioni grottesche ed improbabili. Prima edizione autografa. First edition. Autograph.

Altri ricchi ed elaborati fregi impressi in oro al dorso. Piatti foderati con carta marmorizzata coeva. Quest’opera doveva essere il primo volume di una collana ma risultò poi come l’unico stampato e rappresenta un’importante fonte per la storia del Vaticano, della Polonia e della Svezia ricostruendo le relazioni diplomatiche che intercorsero fra questi stati nel periodo storico compreso fra ii 1523 anno di insediamento al potere di Giovanni III ed il 1611 anno della morte di Carlo IX di Svezia. I tre regnanti, tutti appartenete alla nobile famiglia dei Vasa, furono anche i primi re di Polonia. Sigismondo III Vasa, in polacco Zygmunt III Waza, in svedese Sigismund III Vasa, in latino Sigismundus Tertius Dei gratia rex Poloniæ, magnus dux Lithuaniæ, Russiæ, Prussiæ, Masoviæ, Samogitiæ, Livoniæque, necnon Suecorum, Gothorum Vandalorumque hæreditarius rex (Castello di Gripsholm, 20 giugno 1566 – Varsavia, 30 aprile 1632), fu re di Svezia dal 1592 al 1599 e di Polonia dal 1587 al 1632. Appartenente alla reale famiglia Vasa di Svezia, era figlio di Giovanni III e della principessa di Polonia Caterina Jagellona, sorella di Sigismondo Augusto. Eletto al trono della Confederazione polacco-lituana, Sigismondo era intenzionato a creare un'unione personale tra la sua confederazioen e la Svezia (Unione polacco-svedese), riuscendoci nel 1592. Dopo essere stato deposto dal trono svedese nel 1599 da suo zio eletto sovrano col nome di Carlo IX di Svezia, egli trascorse il resto della sua vita nel tentativo di reclamarlo mentre lo zio passò buona parte della sua vita nel fortificare i confini e nell’imbastire una fitta rete di rapporti diplomatici per scongiurare il ritorno del nipote. Opera assai rara in questa prima edizione italiana, sei soli esemplari censiti in ICCU, in bellissima legatura coeva ed in perfetta condizioni di conservazione.

On the condition of Jews in Poland both historical and contemporary. Includes discussion of the Holocaust defense of Poland from charges of anti-Semitism and resistance organizations. “On the eve of the Second World War Poland was home to over three million Jews making it the second-largest community in the world. Warsaw the capital had a population of over 300000 Jews more than 30% of the population of the city—and a larger Jewish community than in most European countries. Around 85% of Polish Jewry was annihilated during the Holocaust. After the war many survivors refused to return to or remain in Poland which was marked by civil war and anti-Semitic violence. Since the end of Communism the small Jewish community in Poland has been able to reassert its identity and begin the process of rebuilding. Most of the country's Jews live in Warsaw but smaller communities also exist in Kraków Wroclaw Lodz Katowice Szczecin Gdansk and several other cities.” World Jewish Congress SUBJECTS: Jews -- Poland.
