Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A scarce book written in the style of the emerging Social Realism and designed in Soviet Constructivist style, inspired by experiments of the famous photographer and book designer, Alexander Rodchenko. The constructor was a talented Jewish artist Isaak Eberil (1909-1942). He created a Soviet version of Magic Lantern. The pages were made to be cut out and glued into a drum for an improvised cinema machine. It tells the story about a Young Pioneer, Hans, who saved the strike committee in Berlin from Hitler's police. This book dates to a period of intense collaboration with German Communists. Incredibly rare because it was created to be destroyed. Two copies at OCLC: Princeton University and University of Chicago, a few copies in Russia (found in Russian State Library and Russian State Library for Children's Literature).    1 volume complete. 29.3 x 22.4 cm. 6  unpaginated leaves. Original paper wrapper. Staple binding. Rubbing and creasing on wrapper and content. A few chippings on the page edge. Overall very good near fine condition, considering its age. Text in Russian. .
