About This Item
v Risi: Dobra Snaha, 1945 12mo 15.6x12 cm., stiff wrappers, 48 [3] pp. Cover and illustrations by Franti ek Bidlo. Vojtech (1922-2003) was an editor and translator, social and political critic. Published during the waning days of the Reich, most likely after the imprisonment of Bidlo, who had illustrated Vojtech's other anti-Nazi epigrams published during the protectorate. Here Bidlo provides the cover illustration with drawings from previous publications, suggesting the book came out during the weeks before his death from typhus the day after liberation. Bidlo had famously been sent to the Terezin concentration camp for saying that "after the war, Hitler will be working a wheelbarrow on the construction of Stalingrad." The preface epigram is entitled Grossdeutches Reich and is a monologue of a forced labor prisoner. Inscribed by the author in 1945 to Zdenek Ancík, an important resistance fighter, author and editor of the avant-garde magazine Trn during the 1920s. Uncommon, worldcat locates three holdings: NKC, BL, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, none in North America.
