About This Item
Moscow: Detizdat, 1938. Konashevich, Vladimir. (10)pp. A miniature, lyrical children's book, with color lithographs illustrating scenes of a child's fond relationship with a toy horse. Kvitko was a Ukranian-born Yiddish-language poet and author; his literary and ethnic status made him a target of the Stalinist government, and he was executed in 1952 during what has now become known as the "Night of the Murdered Poets." Even at the time of this volume's publication, Kvitko's status would have been unstable; the ripples of the Second World War would already have begun to disrupt whatever serenity he might have however tenuously enjoyed. Bound in pictorial wrappers. Light exterior rubbing, else fine. (3 by 2 1/4; 75x58mm).
