Illustrations ("Bilder") by Rudolf Sieck. Illustrations, in keeping with the theme of the book, are of vegetation, in detail and as scenery. Sieck (1877-1957), a German, was primarily a landsc…ape painter. This was the only one of the series that he illustrated. There is no common name in English for the Mauskäfer (Dermestes murinus), so called in Latin and German for its mouse-gray color. Why such an unappealing beetle was loved by the Gerlach designers is anybody's guess.

Chipped wrappers, with small spots of white paint, have been re-backed and spine re-enforced by master restorer. 289x218mm. WorldCat: Libraries worldwide that own item: 9. Yiddish modernist verse asking the Jews to replace their old ways w…ith communism. Alas, not even his 20,000 line poem extolling Stalin could save from being murdered by the arch-butcher. Peretz Davidovich Markish (7 Dec. 1895 (25 Nov. OS) Polonne, Volyn Governorate, Russian Empire -12 August 1952 Lubyanka Prison, Moscow, Soviet Union) was a Soviet/Russian Jewish poet and playwright who wrote predominantly in Yiddish. He was born to a Sephardi Jewish family. As a child he attended a cheder and sang in the choir of the local synagogue. He served as a private in the Russian Imperial Army during World War I and was discharged from the army after the Russian Revolution, settling in Ekaterinoslav (now Dnipropetrovsk), Ukraine. In 1918, he relocated to Kiev. Markish's first poetry collection, Shveln ("Thresholds"), published in Kiev in 1919, established his reputation. His poetry cycle Di kupe ("The Heap"; 1921) was written in response to the Ukrainian pogroms of 1919-20. In the early 1920s, he was a member of the Kiev group of Yiddish poets that included David Hofstein and Leib Kvitko. After a series of pogroms took place in Ukraine, he moved to Warsaw and in Western Europe. While in Warsaw, he co-edited with I. J. Singer the expressionist literary anthology Khalyastre ("Gang"; 1922). Uri Zvi Grinberg and Melech Ravitch edited other literary publications. A second and final volume of Khalyastre, edited with Oser Varshawski, appeared in Paris in 1924 with a cover illustration by Marc Chagall. In 1924 he was a co-founder and editor of the Literarishe bleter in Warsaw. In 1926, Markish returned to the Soviet Union. There he published a number of optimistic poems glorifying the communist regime, including Mayn dor ("My Generation"; 1927) and the epic Brider ("Brothers"; 1929). His novel Dor oys, dor ayn ("Generation After Generation"; 1929), about the genesis of revolution in a small Jewish town, was condemned for "Jewish chauvinism." He was awarded the Order of Lenin in 1939. Markish joined the Soviet Communist party in 1942. In April 1942, Stalin ordered the formation of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee designed to influence international public opinion and organize political and material support for the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany, particularly from the West. Solomon Mikhoels, the popular actor and director of the Moscow State Jewish Theater, was appointed the JAC chairman. Members of JAC included Der Nister, Itzik Feffer, Peretz Markish and Samuel Halkin. They wrote texts and petitions as cries for help against the Nazi pogroms. Among others, the texts were printed in U.S. newspapers. The JAC also raised funds. In 1946, he was awarded the Stalin Prize, and wrote several paeans to Joseph Stalin, including a 20,000-line epic poem Milkhome ("War") in 1948. However, Stalin soon changed policy towards the liquidation of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee and against the remnants of official Jewish cultural activity in the Soviet Union. Solomon Mikhoels was murdered by the secret police in January 1948, to avoid a show trial. Other writers were accused of treason, and other "crimes", and arrested. Markish was accused of being a "Jewish nationalist", and arrested in January 1949, and shot with other Jewish writers during the Night of the Murdered Poets in August 1952. After Stalin's death, Markish's widow Esther and his sons, literary scholar Shimon Markish and prose writer David Markish, actively set out to redeem his memory. Following Markish's official rehabilitation in November 1955, several comprehensive editions of his poems, translated into Russian by Anna Akhmatova, were published in 1957. His oldest child, daughter Olga Rapay-Markish by his first wife, Zinaida Joffe, was a renowned Ukrainian ceramicist. The cover of Peretz Markish's anthology, made by Melech Ravich, has its name and the author's name. The font resembles electricity flashes or radio waves, in keeping with the anthology's name and Markish's taut modernistic poetics. (illustrator).
