[Kraków]: Oficyna Literacka, 1985. Octavo (14.5 × 10.5 cm). Original printed wrappers; 245 pp. of offset-printed reduced typescript to rectos and versos. Very good. First edition of this first Polish translation of Orwell's famous account of the Spanish Civil War, originally published in 1938. Written from the perspective of an anti-Stalinist socialist activist, the work was banned in Communist Poland for its criticism of the Soviet activities in Spain. Orwell's writing was especially popular in Polish unofficial press, due to the numerous sympathetic articles he wrote during and after WWII about Poland and especially the plight of the Polish refugees settling in post-war Britain. His statements of solidarity were much appreciated and discussed in Polish emigre circles, resulting in numerous translations published in Britain and smuggled into Poland for underground printing and distribution. This copy was released by the underground publishing house Oficyna Literacka. Founded in 1982, the Kraków-based publishing house printed pocket sized books, focusing on literature and poetry. Nothing is known about the translator, LesÅ aw Kuzaj, possibly a pseudonym used by the translator due to the legal grey zone of unofficial publishing in Communist Poland. As of August 2022, KVK, OCLC show this volume at five libraries worldwide (one in North America).

Orwell's experience of the Spanish Civil War, where he enlisted in the POUM militia, and was shot in the throat. Gollancz declined to publish the work, according to Orwell because Gollancz was "part of the communist- racket, and as soon as he heard I had been associated with the POUM and Anarchists and had seen the inside of the May riots in Barcelona, he said he did not think he would be able to publish my book, though not a word of it was written yet" (Fenwick, page 63).

London: Secker and Warburg, 1938. 8vo., original cloth with supplied dust wrapper; pp. [vi], 313, [i]; boards of book somewhat soiled and rubbed with a light scrape along spine, some nicks to cloth at extremities of spine, wrapper with some loss and wear with front flap detatched, otherwise a very good copy. First edition signed by Orwell in full on the front free endpaper (for his friend and correspondent E. G[eorge]. Barber) and rare thus. Laid-in is a letter from Barber's daughter, explaining that her father was a member of The Left Book Club and expressing her regret that Orwell's side of their correspondence was assumed to be lost, probably during a house move, although one letter is known to have survived and is included in the Collected Letters. Sold by Judy Barber to Edinburgh dealer,William Lytle, thence by private collector to Peter Grogan, bookseller. [Together with]: "Almanaque de la Revolucià n Española 1937" - an illustrated wall-calendar, presumed published by The Workers' Party of Marxist Unification (Spanish: Partido Obrero de Unificacià n Marxista - P.O.U.M.), with stirring illustrations and bellicose notes for each month. This copy was sent by Orwell to Barber from Barcelona in January 1937 (the exact date of the postmark is illegible and the page for January is absent) and has Barber's address in Woolwich in Orwell's hand on the backing paper. It also has Orwell's additional note "IMPRENTA / IMPRIMà " - Orwell always counted the pennies - and a further intriguing note in pencil, possibly in Orwell's hand, possibly Barber's or possibly that of a sympathetic postal worker. This marking is upside-down and somewhat stylised to disguise the message: "VIVA EL POUM". From the dustwrapper blurb: "In December 1936, Orwell enlisted in the P.O.U.M. militia and fought on the Aragon front till April, first in a Spanish company, then with the I.L.P. contingent. On leave in Barcelona during the May fighting, he gives an eye-witness account of what really happened. Then he went back to the front, was wounded, declared medically unfit, and returning through Barcelona to England narrowly escaped arrest as a counter-revolutionary!".
