1966. First Edition. Signed. MALAMUD, Bernard. The Fixer. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1966. Octavo, original tan cloth, original dust jacket. $1750.First edition, presentation copy, of Malamud’s Pulitzer-winning novel, inscribed by Malamud: ""For Josef, A patient and attentive host—for making my stay in Israel so pleasurable—Bernard.""""Malamud's story of a Jew falsely accused of murder in czarist Russia in 1912 ends with the declaration that there is 'no such thing as an unpolitical man.' Taken as commentary on the Civil Rights Movement, the book achieves popular as well as critical success and would be made into a 1968 film after winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize"" (Chronology of American Literature). ""The language at once sears and sings. The process of continuous genocide which we call history finds in this novel both a challenge and a response"" (Vinson, 877). Laid-in Hebrew newspaper clipping from Malamud's trip to Israel.Book near-fine, with mild toning to preliminary and concluding pages and slight soiling to cloth. Dust jacket extremely good, with a bit of soiling, light rubbing to extremities, and tape repair to verso. A desirable inscribed copy.

Barreiro y Ramos, prominent booksellers and publishers of Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. Their publications included books relating to law and to parliament. Brazil enjoyed a remarkable period of rapid material progress and international importance during under Emperors Pedro I and, especially, Pedro II, who reigned from 1831 to 1891. The government enacted a law in 1823 calling for the gradual replacement of the Portuguese Ordenacoes with codes informed by the Enlightenment ideas of the eighteenth century and the work of Jeremy Bentham. A Projecto for commercial law was published in 1836, another in 1838. The code was enacted in 1850 and its first two editions were published in 1858 and 1869. The third and later editions (1886, 1896) are the best because they contain extensive commentary. All of these early editions are rare. OCLC locates 1 copy of the 1878 edition in North America (at the New York Public Library). Another copy located at the Library of Congress. British Museum Catalogue (Compact Edition) 4:32.

Description
Mattapan Station, Boston: Hammer & Steel, 1964. Five issues of the mimeographed newsletter, various formats, generally 4 to 6 pages per issue; some issues are fold-creased, have handling wear or soil, or have uneven toning. Issues present are April, July, October 1964; January 1965; and Nov/Dec. 1966. Also included is a four-panel leaflet in similar format, publishing a message to the editors from a group of students at Oberlin in October 1967. Homer Chase, a Maoist, created Hammer and Steel under the organizational name of the New England Party of Labor. Aside from critiques of the Communist Party USA and discussion of Marxist-Leninist politics, there is some early protest against the Vietnam War, the 1964 Civil Rights bill, etc. George Thayer wrote in 1968: "The smallest New Left group is the New England Party of Labor which publishes Hammer and Steel, a mimeographed sheet that some people believe expresses 'pure Maoist views.' The man behind the organization is Homer Chase from New Hampshire. He wants to have a hammer and sickle carved on his father's headstone and has been fighting the town fathers for years on this issue. 'This headstone seems more important to Homer than anything else,' says critic Communist Gus Hall. 'But he gets written up by the press as a big factor in the Sino-Soviet split.' For once perhaps Gus Hall is right." -- from The Farther Shores of Politics, 2nd edition (1968), p.433.
