About This Item
Cuba: Political Editions 1974, 1974. First edition. 190x140mm. pp. 48. Red paper wrappers decorated on upper cover with the flags of Cuba and East Germany. Lettered in black on upper cover. In excellent condition throughout. This short work contains the transcript of two speeches by Castro and Honecker on 23rd February 1974. It also contains a "Declaration on strengthening of friendship and deepening of collaboration between the Republic of Cuba and German Democratic Republic". There is a photograph of Castro and one of Honecker, each placed before their speech. The photographs show the glorious leaders in full oratorical flow. The speeches contain much mutual congratulation, much delusion and much tedium. The best bits are the reactions of the crowd, faithfully recorded for posterity. At the beginning of his speech Castro says "Comrade Honecker and I will strive to be brief". (SHOUTS OF "NO! NO!") An interesting and rare item, a must for all Corbynistas.

About Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
