Item description from seller

6 volumes. Octavo. 21cm (volume 6 is slightly taller, with a wider margin at the base of the cover). bound in original publisher's buff card wraps illustrated with an abstract design by Jorge Ballester, the same illustration is utilised on all 6 covers, with variations in color and composition. Ballester would have been 19 or 20 at the time of publication, shortly before he went on to form 'Equipo Realidad' with Joan Cardells. 12-14pp per issue. Some sunning or fading to extremities, light edgewear, a very good, clean and attractive collection. An ephemeral bit of book production, utilising thin, rough grain paper, cheap card, and some erratic trimming. Internally clean, some pages unopened. Issues present include: #2 Miguel Hernandez: "Recoged Esta Voz" #3 Nicolas Guillén: "Buenos Dias, Fidel" #4 Pablo Neruda: "No Tenian Mas Armas Que La Aurora." #5 Miguel Angel Asturias: "Bolivar" #6 Paul Eluard: "Libertad" #7 Patricio Lumumba: "Africa Será Libre" Absent from this assemblage is issue #1 "Dos Poemas" by Carlos Pellicer. The title "Ediciones Quinto Regimiento" is a loaded reference to the Madrid based publishing office of the fabled 5th Regiment, a communist brigade fighting for the Republic during the Spanish Civil War to legendary effect, and is clearly intended as both homage and statement of intent. The institutional footprint for this publication is tiny, with a couple of issues having a slight presence on OCLC, and an absence of significant holdings.
