From a limited edition of 700 copies, among the smallest print runs of any book in the Flegon collection. OCLC locates 5 copies. Alex Flegon founded the Flegnon Press in London, becoming the first independent Russian-language publisher in the West -- his rivals, including YMCA Press, were largely subsidized by various political organizations, notably the CIA. Vendor's mark on last leaf; some light rubbing along edges of covers; otherwise a lovely copy. Alec Flegon (1924-2003), an emigre from Romania, became a controversial London-based publisher of samizdat literature and Soviet trade directories during the Cold War. He was the first to publish Bulgakov's "Heart of a Dog" and Solzhenitsyn's "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich," and he later published four Russian-language versions of Pasternak's "Dr. Zhivago," including one under a Moscow imprint, lest Russian buyers be accused of importing anti-Soviet literature. His remarkable success at repeatedly getting manuscripts out of the Soviet Union led to the widespread view that he must have had contacts in the KGB, and he used this reputation to his advantage, garnering free publicity for his publications. He was accused of copyright infringement and/or piracy on more than one occasion (the most famous example being his feuds with Solzhenitsyn, and Svetlana Stalin).

Original Wraps. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Original Wraps. "I Saw It presents the poem of that same title written by the famous Jewish-Russian poet Ilya Selvinsky (1899-1968), translated into English by the award-winning bilingual author, Boston College professor, Maxim D. Shrayer. Selvinsky was the first Jewish-Russian poet to depict the Holocaust (Shoah) in the occupied Soviet territories. In January 1942, while serving as a military journalist, Selvinsky witnessed the immediate aftermath of the massacre of thousands of Jews outside the Crimean city of Kerch, and thereafter composed and published this poem about it. Partnering with noted typographer and fine-press printer Philip Gallo, Bart designed the book, clamshell box, and created the artwork. This project was of special interest to Bart, as her maternal grandmother was from Ukraine. In the book, she has written a remembrance of her grandmother." [Artist Statement] "What Harriet Bart has produced in our book is not only great art but also an artistic embodiment of the very predicament of bearing witness to genocide. I'm grateful to her for her vision and her commitment to keeping alive the memory of the Shoah."[Maxim D. Shrayer] Typography and Printing by Philip Gallo at The Hermetic Press with binding by Sherelyn Ogden. Tight, bright, and unmarred.

Er bearbeitete diese Vorlagen, indem er die zwei linken Ohren unorganisch versetzte."
