Trotsky describes how, under Lenin's leadership, the Bolshevik Party led the working class, peasantry, and oppressed nationalities to overturn the monarchist regime of the landlords and capitalists and bring to power a government of the workers and peasants—one that set an example for toilers the world over.

Parchment. Condizione: Fine. near fine. Limited Edition. No. 341 of 750 copies, octavo size, 44 pp., with parchment wrapper and slipcase. Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799-1837) was an esteemed Russian poet and novelist, who is considered the founder of modern Russian literature. This work, "Gabriel", is a satirical (some would say blasphemous) look at the Annunciation; given the status of the Church at the time, Pushkin denied authorship as he could have been prosecuted for blasphemy by the Holy Synod and sentenced to a life sentence in Siberia; he later (apparently) acknowledged authorship in a private letter to Czar Nicholas I. With an Introduction by translator Max Forrester Eastman (1883-1969), author and political activist; while in graduate school he became an ardent socialist, but upon living in Russia from 1922 to 1924 and witnessing the Great Purge he became a capitalist, however, he remained very much an independent in his thinking throughout his life. And who better to provide the illustrations than Rockwell Kent (1882-1971), illustrator extraordinaire who bridged the artistic gap between Victorian and Modern art. Kent was also an admirer of Russia and the USSR, with the Soviet government purchasing a number of his paintings for the Hermitage and Pushkin museums. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full limp Pergamus Sheepskin Parchmant with yapped edges, gilt decoration of a dove by Kent on the front, gilt lettering on the spine, the dove decoration on the title page, four black-and-white woodcut illustrations after Kent throughout; type Deepdene (designed by Frederic W. Goudy) on handmade Arnold unbleached cream wove English paper, octavo size (9" by 5 5/8"), pagination: [i-vi] vii-x, [1-2] 3-33 [colophon]. With the original parchment wrapper and publisher's slipcase of mottled grey paper over cardboard. ___CONDITION: Fine, with clean boards, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; the parchment showing minimal natural wrinkling and a hint of foxing at the outer edges of the back cover, else fine. The wrapper near fine, entire and clean, with a few light areas of wear and light toning; the slipcase very good, strong and sturdy, mostly clean with just a few light spots of soil, some overall sunning and light wear, some short tears at the opening but remaining strong, a bit of paper loss a the corners and an old pencilled price of "10.00" written in one top corner. Overall a remarkable example with both the wrapper and slipcase, often not seen. ___CITATIONS: Rockwellkentiana p. 62, online Dictionary of American National Biography. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

In a Near Fine dust jacket, price of $2.50 intact and crossed through with pen, with sunned spine panel, light wear, and vertical crease to front flap. A beautiful copy of this sharply-designed book, an important and to some extent prophetic Marxist text. Trotsky wrote his denunciation of the new Soviet regime in exile after losing a power struggle with Stalin. The postscript to his introduction notes that the manuscript had been completed before Stalin's show trials kicked off the Great Purge, and so "the proceedings of the trial could not be evaluated in its pages." The translator Max Eastman had personally observed the conflict between Trotsky and Stalin during a stay in the Soviet Union, taking Trotsky's side and later becoming a friend. They remained friends until the former commissar was assassinated in Mexico in 1940.…
