Mr. Pearl was hired as a reporter by the paper at its inception in April 1922. and he remained a contributor for more than half a century, until his death. He was the author of a number of Yiddish books. including "Throughout America." "The Underground War in Europe" and "A Word to the People," based on lectures he delivered throughout the country. Mr. Pearl. Who was born in the Ukraine and came to the United States in 1922. Morgen Freiheit [= morning freedom] was a New York based daily Yiddish newspaper founded by Moissaye Joseph Olgin in 1922 and affiliated with the communist party. It folded in 1988. After the end of World War II the paper's pro-Israel views brought it into disfavor with the Communist Party and its editor Paul Novick was expelled from the organization. Established in 1922 as a self-described "Communistic fighting newspaper", the paper's chief goals included the promotion of the Jewish labor movement, the defense of the Soviet Union, the advancement of proletarian culture, and the defeat of racism in America. By 1925, the press run of the Freiheit grew to 22,000 copies per issue, making it the largest of nine daily newspapers in the United States affiliated with the American Communist Party. The Morning Freiheit/Morgen Freiheit in its time was one of the most prominent Yiddish newspapers published in the United States, and the show case of left socialist artists and writers both Jewish and non-Jewish, Zionist and internationalist. Among the most notable writers to appear in its pages was Michael Gold, the author of the novel Jews Without Money. The newspaper made significant political contributions related to the formation of the International Fur and Leather Workers Union, as well as many of the needle trades unions in the United States, including the Amalgamated Clothing Workers union, and perhaps the Congress of Industrial Organizations (which later merged with the AFL as the AFL-CIO). Following Moissaye Olgin's sudden death in November 1939, the Freiheit was headed by Paul Novick (1891-1989), a journalist born in Brest-Litovsk who had first come to America in 1913. Novick had been associated with the publication from its foundation in 1922 and was active in the ICOR, the American Committee of Jewish Writers, Artists and Scientists, and other Communist Party-sponsored mass organizations.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Lo que hace singular al aristócrata alemán Ludwig Renn (1889-1979) es su triple condición de militar profesional, por su experiencia como oficial combatiente en la Primera Guerra Mundial; de comunista, exilado de Alemania a causa del nazismo; y de escritor, con fama internacional gracias a su libro Guerra (1928). Todo ello le convertía en uno de los más representativos de aquellos «voluntarios con gafas», intelectuales que se alistaron en las Brigadas Internacionales y que, comprometidos con la causa antifascista, acudieron a España donde la guerra aunaba romanticismo y militancia política, como Ernest Hemingway, Ilyá Ehrenburg, Gustav Regler, Bodo Uhse, Willi Bredel o Erich Weinert. Renn fue uno de los pocos de aquellos escritores que estuvo en primera línea de fuego, como en los días de la Gran Guerra, siendo un oficial competente e impasible que acudía a la batalla armado con un lápiz. Era la imagen misma de la dedicación a la clásica y caballeresca combinación de las armas y las letras, en su caso al servicio de la revolución, un delirio más de un personaje que hizo de la transgresión su vida y su literatura, aunque al final le costase muy caro. En su actuación al frente del Estado Mayor de la XI Brigada Internacional durante la Guerra Civil, Renn mostró gran firmeza en el mando y magníficas cualidades organizadoras, y disfrutó de mucho prestigio entre los combatientes. Se convirtió así en el modelo más acabado de aquellos que habían dejado la pluma en favor de la pistola, conscientes de que era lo que reclamaba la situación histórica. Con todo, La Guerra Civil Española (1956), que aparece ahora por primera vez traducida al español, es una obra de referencia inexcusable, testimonio y aportación originales de un destacado protagonista de primera fila. Gracias a la narración de Renn conocemos mejor las Brigadas Internacionales y en especial a aquellos voluntarios alemanes, exiliados antifascistas que encontraron en España un lugar que les permitía luchar por su país, tipos duros, forjados en la lucha obrera y dotados de una fe inquebrantable, o casi, en el comunismo y en la Unión Soviética. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
