Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. This is Volume 6 of The Facsimile Text Society's Series I: Language and Literature volumes. The text of both the French language and English language versions of this work are included, with the French language text appearing first in this volume. [14], 68, [4], 50, iii, [1] pages. This copy is ex-lib…rary with the usual library stamps and markings. Both pamphlet editions were issued in Paris, one in French and the other in English, within two months of each other at the most, in spite of the fact that the Baudry edition (in English) bears the date 1831, and the Paulin edition (in French), 1832. The Baudry edition would normally be considered the first because of its earlier date, and would therefore be of the greater interest to students and collectors of Cooper, were it not for the special circumstance attaching to the issue of the Paulin edition. Cooper wrote his letter at the immediate instigation of Lafayette and as a political tool for the latter's use during the budget debate in the French Chamber of Deputies, January 15, 1832. It was the Paulin edition, and not the Baudry, which Lafayette translated an printed for circulation among the members of the Chamber; and it was this edition which Saulnier, Harris, and others had in hand when they expressed their opinions on the merits of the case. It is safe to assume that the Baudry pamphlet is the customary pirated Continental edition, translated and sent from the Paulin edition. The letter is an interesting sidelight on the lives and character of two great men. It was a political tool used by Lafayette and it was a favor provided by Cooper, in recognition of Lafayette's ''claim upon his [an American's] gratitude is to distinct and durable, to suffer feelings of hesitation to interfere with the execution of what is right in itself, when you are pleased to require him to act in that great cause to which you have devoted a long and useful life." Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.

Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. xxviii, 68 pages. Shloyme Zanvl Rappoport (1863 - November 8, 1920), known by his pseudonym S. Ansky (or An-sky), was a Russian Jewish author, playwright, researcher of Jewish folklore, polemicist, and cultural and political activist. He is best known for his play The Dybbuk or Between Two World…s, written in 1914. In 1917, after the Russian Revolution, he was elected to the Russian Constituent Assembly as a Social-Revolutionary deputy. Ansky was born in Chashniki, Belarus, then part of the Russian Empire, and died in Otwock, Poland on November 8, 1920. Under the influence of the Russian narodnik movement, Ansky became interested in ethnography, as well as socialism, and became a political activist. Between 1911 and the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, he headed ethnographic expeditions to various Jewish towns of Volhynia and Podolia, composing a detailed ethnographic questionnaire of more than 2000 questions. Ansky's ethnographic collections were locked away in Soviet vaults for years, but some material has come to light since the 1990s. The State Ethnographic Museum at St. Petersburg holds a good deal of it. Some of his vast collection of cylinder recordings made on these expeditions have been transferred to CD as well. His ethnographic report of the deliberate destruction of Jewish communities by the Russian army in the First World War, The Enemy at His Pleasure: A Journey Through the Jewish Pale of Settlement During World War I, has become a major source in the historiography of the war's impact on civilian populations. Initially he wrote in Russian, but from 1904 he became known mainly as a Yiddish author. He is best known for his play The Dybbuk or Between Two Worlds, written in 1914. The play was first staged in the Elyseum Theatre in Warsaw two months after the author's death on November 8, 1920. It was subsequently translated into a dozen or more languages and performed thousands of times all over the world. It is still being produced, along with numerous adaptations, as well as operas, ballets, and symphonic suites. (For example in 2011 there were seven different productions.) It is considered the jewel of the Jewish theatre. In the early years The Dybbuk was considered so significant that parodies of it were written and produced. Although The Dybbuk is An-sky¿s best-known work, he published an impressive number of works of literature, politics and ethnography. His Collected Works, which do not include all his writings, comprise fifteen volumes. An-sky wrote a number of other plays, four of which are included in this collection, long out of print. One (Day and Night) is, like The Dybbuk, a Hasidic Gothic story. The other three plays have revolutionary themes, and were originally written in Russian: Father and Son, In a Conspiratorial Apartment, and The Grandfather. All four have recently been republished in a bilingual Yiddish-English edition. Ansky was also the author of the song Di Shvue (The Oath), which became the anthem of the Jewish Socialist Bund party. He was the author of the poem (later made into a song) "In Zaltsikn Yam" (In the Salty Sea), which was dedicated to the Bund as well. Hirsch, John (illustrator).
