Description
Sofia: Bulgarski Pisatel, 1949. First edition (limited to 8000 copies); 7 x 9; [2], 5-173, [1]; red pictorial wraps; 1/2" loss of paper to tail of spine and two chips to fore-edge of front cover; few small tears around staples on first free page, else clean and well preserved; small signature to upper corner of first and second page; few penciled-in numbers to margins; illustrated by artist Georgi Kovachev (Grishata); very good condition. The title of the book literally translates as "Dimitrov's Fire" and refers to the name of Georgi Dimitrov - the leader of the Third Comintern from 1934 to 1943 and the first Communist leader of Bulgaria from 1946 to 1949. A compilation of typical children's propaganda poems by one of the most beloved Bulgarian authors of children's literature in the 20th century, this edition was, nevertheless, printed in an extremely small run as most other children's works from the period numbered in the hundreds of thousands. The book won the Dimitrov Prize - the highest Bulgarian national award for contributions to science, art, and culture - in 1949. The cover design and illustrations were created by, then very young, artist Georgi Kovachev (nickname "Grishata"). He was a member of the Union of Bulgarian Artists, painter, graphic designer, and book illustrator. He was also credited with designing one of the best Bulgarian typefaces - Grotesque Grimil. His art presently graces galleries and museums in Bulgaria and abroad. Not in OCLC or in the trade.
