First edition, 1 of 1550 copies; 7 3/4 x 6; pp. [2], 5-69, [3]; textured, off-white wraps, illustrated in blue and pink; a few spots and foxing to margins; small nicks to tips of spine; signature of previous owner to title page; very good condition. Cover art by Dechko Uzunov. Written by one of the prominent "September Four," this was the second poetry collection of poet and translator Nikola Furnadzhiev (1903 - 1968). The other three of the "September" literary group were fellow leftist authors Asen Raztsvetnikov, Angel Karaliichev, and Georgi Tsanev. They would be persecuted and convicted by the Communist Party for spreading social bourgeois mentality. The beautiful, Modernist cover art was the creation of Dechko Uzunov (1899 - 1986) - a famous Bulgarian painter, educator, and graphic artist, born in Kazanlak (this antiquarian bookseller and catalog compiler's home town). Very good .
