Paperback. Produced in 1919, Passionate Journey uses Masereel's simple and precise woodcuts to present a story of one man's life and loves in post-World War I Berlin.  Woodcutter, painter, cosmopolitan and anti-militarist, Belgium-born Masereel (1889-1972) was an extremely popular artist in 1920s Germany. A contemporary of Kathe Kollwitz and George Grosz, his "novels-without-words"--completely composed of woodcuts--have been neglected in the States. Here, 165 striking woodcuts generate the visual narrative of a young man's initiation into the urban milieu. The raw power and diversity of the city's day to day events continually expand his understanding of life's possibilities. The hero's fascination with the city's abundance of art and culture, political debate and industrial glory combine with observations on an equal profusion of poignant social trauma. The protagonist travels to distant lands; this journey of vibrant percipience propels him toward an enlarged comprehension of his role in a world of good and evil, love and tenderness and clashing social interests. Mann's effusive introduction discusses Masereel's life and influences and details the ideas that motivated and enliven this vivid work. Good condition. Minor bumping wear on cover edges.

FIRST EDITION thus of this important collected volume of Dostoevsky's shorter fiction in English. Publisher's original beige cloth, lettered and decorated in red to front board and spine; designs and lettering bright and unfaded. Full pictorial dust jacket, unclipped, preserved in archival mylar. Binding sound and square; pages clean and unmarked. Printing not stated; no indication of later impression. Issued by The Dial Press in 1945 by special arrangement with The Macmillan Company. Condition: Very Good in a Good+ dust jacket, with light to modest shelf wear to edges. Contents: The Gambler; Notes from Underground; Uncle's Dream; The Eternal Husband; The Double; The Friend of the Family. These works had not previously appeared together in a single American collected edition. Dial Press presented them here for the first time as a unified volume, reflecting renewed mid-century American engagement with Russian literature. Collector's Note: This Dial Press volume represents the first collected American edition of Dostoevsky's shorter fiction in English. Issued in 1945 with an introduction by Thomas Mann and translated by Constance Garnett, it reflects mid-twentieth-century American recognition of Dostoevsky as a foundational figure of modern psychological and philosophical literature. Copies retaining the original pictorial dust jacket are increasingly scarce, and the edition is valued for its authoritative contents, serious literary presentation, and durable publisher's binding. More photos on request and with our pleasure. Book will be carefully wrapped and boxed securely for safe handling during transit, with international shipping available. [Attributes: First Edition Thus; Hard Cover; in Dust Jacket].

First Edition. First edition. Includes 22 letters by "Celebrated Intellectuals" many of whom were Nobel Prize recipients including Karl Capek, Albert Einstein, Selma Lagerlof, Sinclair Lewis, Maurice Maeterlinck, Thomas Mann, Romain Rolland, Bertrand Russell, Upton Sinclair, H. G. Wells, Rebecca West, Izrael Zangwill, et al. Published in the U.S. by Boni and the UK by The C. W. Daniel Company for the International Committee for Political Prisoners (I.C.P.P.) whose members, who are listed opposite the title page, included Jane Addams (the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize), Clarence Darrow, Anna N. Davis, Eugene Debbs, W. E. B. DuBois, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Elisabeth Gilman, et al. The I.C.P.P. was established in 1924 to agitate for the release of and raise funds for political prisoners around the world. "An impetus to the committee's formation was the imprisonment of Menshevists, Social Revolutionaries, Maximalists, Anarchists, and other dissenters in the U.S.S.R. Consequently, the committee's first major effort was the publication of LETTERS FROM RUSSIAN PRISONS in 1925. This book profiled imprisoned revolutionaries, and its criticism of the Soviet government generated controversy in leftist circles."-from the website of the New York Public Library. 8vo black pebble-cloth boards stamped in gilt and ruled on front in blind; top edge red; illustrated with photographs of original documents & letters; 317 pages.
