Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Friedlander, I. [Isac] (1890 Mitau, Latvia - 1968 New York City) (illustrator). In Yiddish. 31 pages. 244 x 169 mm. WorldCat: Libraries worldwide that own item: 1. Dvenadstat (The Russian word for "Twelve") was first published in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg), in 1918 and, together with The Scythians, is the best and most famous work by symbolist poet Alexander Blok, one of Russia's greatest poets, who was also a publicist, playwright, translator and literary critic. The twelve red guards in this poem represent the new world and announce the revolution. The long poem exhibits mood-creating sounds, polyphonic rhythms, and it makes use of harsh slang. It describes the march of twelve Bolshevik soldiers, likened to Jesus' 12 Apostles, through the streets of revolutionary Petrograd, with a fierce winter blizzard raging around them. Many of Blok's former admirers were alienated by what they deemed its lack of artistry and his use of 1918 Petrograd's criminals' jargon and slang. The Bolsheviks, on the other hand, scorned him for his former mysticism and asceticism, and some were offended by the Christian motif. By 1921, Blok, became disillusioned with the Russian Revolution, had not written any poetry for three years, and was in failing health. The idealized mystical images presented in his first book established Blok as a major poet of the Russian Symbolism style. Blok's early verse is musical, but he later sought to introduce daring rhythmic patterns and uneven beats into his poetry. Poetical inspiration was natural for him, often producing unforgettable, otherworldly images out of the most banal surroundings and trivial events. During the 1910s, Blok was admired greatly by literary colleagues, and his influence on younger poets was unsurpassed. Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetaeva, Boris Pasternak, and Vladimir Nabokov wrote important verse tributes to Blok. The striking illustrations of this edition are by Isac Friedlander. Born in 1890 in Mitau, Latvia, Isac Friedlander, an outspoken opponent of Czarist rule, was arrested and sentenced to death at age 16. He was saved both by good fortune and his formidable natural artistic talent, and was released in 1910. His mother sold her jewelry and sent him to Italy, where Friedlander received his only formal art training at the Academy of Rome. Following the overthrow of the Romanov dynasty, Friedlander returned to Latvia and taught painting and printmaking until 1929, when he embarked for America, where he embraced the plight of the millions cast down by the Great Depression, portraying their hardscrabble existence and suffering in his prints. During that period, Friedlander continued to follow the rise of authoritarian states in Europe and the plight of his people. In the period leading up to and during the Second World War, Friedlander earned lasting fame when he created etchings and woodcuts that documented the reports of suffering and persecution inflicted upon the conquered peoples throughout Nazi-dominated Europe. Throughout his career in America, Friedlander also turned his printmaking skills to commercial art and illustration. He died in New York.

But a few years will pass before the village will become one of the largest and most attractive villages in North America. These beautiful slopes all around us will at no distant day be occupied by the most elegant residents , and large numbers, doing business in the city , will have their habitations here. The author is perfectly sure that there is no place within40 miles of New York where the scenery, the roads, the climate, etc, are better than they are here.This must become very thickly populated by the best citizens from New York and elsewhere".from: Tuttle, William Parkhurst. Bottle Hill and Madison. Madison: Eagle Press, 1917.During the Revolutionary War era, while the Continental Army was encamped [following battles fought in Trenton and Princeton] in Loantaka Valley [one and a half mile southeast of Morristown, bordering on the western side of the Borough of Madison], and Jockey Hollow, [Morristown] the home was the site of much hospitality to war-weary officers. General George Washington is reported to have been a frequent guest at the home" (from the books Bottle Hill and Madison, by William Parkhurst Tuttle and The Madison Heritage Trail, by Frank J.
