The red wraps are in very good condition (minor chipping/wear along top and bottom edges). 8 ½ x 5 ½, 150 pages, 8 ounces XX [From the introduction] In the past year or so, many persons asked, What? A cookbook in Eleanor Roosevelt's name? Why, she didn't know a thing about cooking outside of scrambled eggs on Sunday night! True, or almost. Or, they said, Mrs. R. never cared what she ate; she was too busy working. Not true; she did care. The older she got, the more she appreciated an occasional special dish, fresh summer vegetables, well prepared seafood. It is enough, however, to know that Eleanor Roosevelt, on her own, enjoyed entertaining immensely. The kitchen was rarely haute, but the conviviality, friendship and opportunities for informal conversation with her guests were a joy to her. In her New York City home, and especially at Val-Kill, she was a marvelous hostess. Taking the lead, she nearly always insisted on serving up the main dish herself to everyone, regardless of the long hours she may have worked that day, or what evening activities lay ahead. So, this souvenir/cookbook, a production of the Eleanor Roosevelt Center at Val-Kill (ERVK), is a personal way of communicating our memories of Eleanor Roosevelt, her influence on our lives, and our increasing awareness that her spirit of kindness and concern for others, combined with hard work and a welcoming nature, are a true part of the American heritage. Val-Kill is the name given by the Roosevelts to this home. They were inspired by the lovely Fallkill Creek which flows through the 180-acre property on its course through the Town of Hyde Park to the Hudson River at Poughkeepsie. The Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site was established by Congress in 1977 (Public Law 95-32). The law authorized the National Park Service to enter into cooperative agreements with others to conduct studies, lectures, conferences, seminars, and other endeavors relating to the issues to which Eleanor Roosevelt devoted her intellect and concern. Such events aim to provide perspectives on contemporary problems and should reflect both her idealism and her concern for practical applications and solutions. The Eleanor Roosevelt Center at Val-Kill, an independent, non-profit organization, accepted the responsibility to provide the kinds of programs envisioned in the law. Wotkyns, Eleanor Roosevelt (illus.) (illustratore).…

Buergin 568. In the summer of 1942, the Austrian refugee and music publisher Armin L. Robinson invited ten prestigious writers to work on a new project: an anti-fascist propaganda film that would demonstrate that Nazi ideology violated each of the Ten Commandments. The deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer fell through, so Robinson decided to continue the project as a collection of ten novellas. Each writer took one amendment, with Thomas Mann leading the charge: 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thomas Mann. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Rebecca West. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Franz Werfel. 4. Remember to keep the sabbath day, to keep it holy. John Erskine. 5. Honour thy father and thy mother. Bruno Frank. 6. Thou shalt not kill. Jules Romains. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Andre Maurois. 8. Thou shalt not steal. Sigrid Undset. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Hendrik Willem Van Loon. 10. Thou shalt not covet. Louis Bromfeld. The book was published in December 1943. Reviewers felt that the collection was uneven and overly long, but still found much to praise, particularly in Mann's contribution. They all felt the moral imperative of anti-Nazi writing: "Here the world's pen is raised against the sword of the super-race," wrote the New York Times. Four years into the war, it had become clear that Hitler's conquest of Europe went well beyond territorial expansion and was an assault on civilization itself. It is no surprise that Eleanor Roosevelt should own a copy of this limited edition, the text of which is taken from the third trade printing. Apart from being married to Hitler's chief opponent, Eleanor was an activist whose positive newspaper review of Mann's 1938 book The Coming Victory of Democracy had aided its success with the American public. The Roosevelts received Thomas Mann and his wife at the White House in 1941, and Mann, who admired the President's values and speechmaking, gave a speech on behalf of his reelection campaign in 1944. This copy of The Ten Commandments, bound for the First Lady's personal library, is a tribute to the shared principles of those towering figures. Signed.…
