Description:
New York: Frederic A. Brady, 1864. 8vo. 312 pp., plus 1 p. ads. Frontispiece caricature of the author at work. Bound in green publisher's cloth, gilt decoration of the author on front board, blind tooled decorated cloth; binding showing some wear and discoloration. Owners signature of Rufus Munyan, Co. D. 18. C.V. (Company D, 18th Connecticut Volunteers). First edition. Comical narrative by a delusionary "adviser" to Lincoln, whose letters pointedly featured the absurdities of war and the madness of the public administration during the 1860's. Barber's view is reflective of many New York writers, whose view of Lincoln and the war was decidedly Democratic, challenging the ferocity of the Radical Republicans who controlled Washington. Written by the satirist Joseph Barber, who also published Crumbs from the Round Table (1866) and The American Book of Ready Made Speeches (1866). The anonymous illustration which introduces the text captures the manic nature of the… Read More

Description:
New York: Farrar, Straus, and Young, 1951. 8vo. [xvi], 442 pp.  Publisher's black cloth boards, green cloth spine, label in black and gold on spine.  Dust jacket fragile, chips to head and tail of spine, some tears; secured by mylar wrapper. Second America printing.  Levi's novel, set in Rome and Naples, is based on his own experience after the War trying to reestablish himself as a writer and artist.  Recovering from the disaster that was the fascist government of Mussolini and his black shirts, Levi recounts the attempts to form a society that abandoned the past and rid the country of government of the rich, for the rich, and by the rich.  His story, set in 1946, "when the last Cabinet of 'Men of the Resistence' gave way to the first De Gaspari Government, and the hopes of a radical reform of political life were shelved. . ."  His story resonates with the impact that fascism, the war, and recovery had on the everyday person in Italian society. Carlo Levi (1902-1975), the award winning… Read More
