Description
RARE book of HEBREW poems by Mili (Shmuel) Novak, inspired by the Russian revolution and communist rhetoric. Novak`s style is somewhat reminiscent of two of the greatest 20th century Russian poets - Vladimir Mayakovski (in his communist poetry) and Alexandr Blok (in his romantic undertones).Novak was one of the first poets who wrote communist poetry in Hebrew. Manuel I.Schechtman (Emmanuel; Menachem Mendel; Manuel Osipovich Schechtman) (1900-1941) - graphic artist, painter and scenic designer from Kiev, designed the book`s extraordinary cover and typography. 230x170mm. 47 pages. Rebound Hardcover (original cover bound as extreme pages). Cover corners and edges peeled. Cover stained. Spine slightly rubbed. Last page (originally rare cover) upper corner missing. Binding visible on front inner cover. Extreme pages (original cover) slightly dirty. Last page upper corner slightly stained. Pages yellowing. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare bibliophile rarity has suffered some external damage to cover (which is not original anyway), but is otherwise in good condition.
