    Riga: Knygas i?leido D?iugas ir Co, 1927. 12mo (14.6 × 9.3 cm). Original pictorial wrappers by Niklavs Strunke; 46, [2] pp. Light wear to spine strip and extremities, with creasing to overlapping wrapper edges; old Soviet bookstore stamp to rear wrapper; exlibris stamp of Juozo ?imkaus; old owner signature to title, partly effaced; still good or better. First edition of this controversial book of poems by Boruta (1905?1965), a Lithuanian poet, writer, and political activist who was close to the group around the avant-garde journal "Tre?ias frontas" (Third Front). He was highly critical of the coup d'état of 1926 that ousted President Kazys Grinius and eventually installed Antanas Smetona, who would rule the country until 1940. Smetona was fiercely nationalist and anti-communist, and ruled largely by decree, having suspended parliamentary actitivies for years. Boruta's book thematized the turbulent politics of the preceding months, and expressed outrage over several executions that took place during the coup. The book was harshly received by the press, after which the government banned it from distribution by a secret directive, which also made owning the book punishable by fine. During World War II, Boruta would support the librarian Ona ?imait? in her efforts to rescue the Jews of the Vilnius Ghetto.The cover design reproduces in orange ink an image originally printed in LInards Laicens, Attaisnotee (The Exonerated), 1920 (pictured in Fraser, Publishing and Book Design in Latvia 1919?1940: a Re-Discovery, p. 90, L151). Strunke (1894-1966) was one of Latvia's foremost artists of the avant-garde. A painter, graphic designer, and illustrator, he studied at the Imperial Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia and trained with noted Russian artists such as Bilibin, Roerich, and Bakst. Beginning in the late 1910s, he helped implement Cubism in Latvian book and graphic design, as well as painting.Not in Jankevi?i?t?, Lietuvos grafika (The Graphic Arts in Lithuania, 1918?1940). Not in Fraser. The first edition is extremely rare, with no copies located in KVK, OCLC as of May 2022. We can only trace the 1940 edition at the University of Pennsylvania.
