Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. First edition. An exceptional copy. 1987 Hard Cover. xvi, 165 pp. The author, a Hungarian dissident, argues that censorship is no longer a matter of simple state intervention. Rather, a new type of censorship has emerged in totalitarian socialist countries which attempts to eliminate the inherent antagonism between creators and censors. "The Velvet Prison is about the aesthetics of this new censorship. It examines the effort by the state to control the culture over which it presides, and probes the complicity of artists and writers consigned to collaborate with the guardians that govern them. Finally, it seeks to answer the question: Is freedom necessary for art to flourish.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Haraszti, Miklós: A cenzúra esztétikája [The Velvet Prison] Budapest, 1986. AB Független. 87 [3] p. First edition. Publishing paperback. Cover designed by László Rajk. In good condition. Hungarian samizdat edition. Printed in 1200 copies. Inscribed by the author to Zsuzsa Kartal (1947-2011), Hungarian poet and literary translator. - Haraszti, a Hungarian poet, editor, and sociologist, has emerged as a leading East European dissident. His A Worker in a Worker s State dealt with the plight of the average worker; this new study considers the consequences of being a creative person in a suppressive state. Haraszti s theme is state control of culture and the culture of censorship that results. He details the subtle methods by which art and criticism are co-opted and the artist supports the system through self-censorship. This haunting essay provides an antidote to the cheerful glasnost policy of Gorbachev. The book has been published in German (Die Staatskünstler; 1985) and in English too in 1987. - Graphic: László Rajk (1949-2019), a practicing architect, production designer, professor in production desing at the University of Theatre and Film in Budapest, and known also as a former dissident, human rights activist. As an architect and freelance artist became the member of the Hungarian avantgarde movement and the Hungarian Democratic Opposition in the seventies. In 1981 co-founded the underground AB Publishing House, and ran an illegal bookstore in his apartment called Samizdat Boutique . - In Communist régimes the publication of many material were illegal and therefor underground publishings and secret ways of spreading of samizdat books developed. Samizdat editions, mostly political pamphlets, appeared in Hungary in the 1970s in the poor form of carbon copies of typescripts. Later in the 80s the so-called Democratic Opposition in Hungary established semi-underground publishings, like AB Független to publish not merely political literature but also literature that was banned by the Communist politics.
