Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition of this work by Czech writer Josef Bor.

[Please see scans] ***202mm x 135mm. 83 pages. ***'The year is 1944, the place the ghetto of Terezin where many of the finest artists of Europe are gathered together in a close comradeship of danger, deprivation, suffering and death. But the spirit cannot be contained, and it is here that Raphael Schachter conceives the tremendous ambition of producing a great Jewish performance of Verdi's Requiem. Practical and temperamental obstacles cannot deter him: he pursues his end with the ruthless devotion of all true artists. Jews have no faith in hell, and no fear of it? But these Jews have experienced hell already at the hands of the Nazis, here in this world. Cruelty and death snatch his soloists and instrumentalists from him? He will find others to take their places. The irresistible force of inspiration drives them all. They transcend themselves and circumstances. ***The great performance is achieved, and by a terrible irony of the time is repeated before those who represent the powers of hell upon earth. Within this small compass lies one man's restatement of everything that matters most: the supremacy of art, the immortality of beauty and truth, the divinity in man.' ***'Dr Joseph Bor was a prominent lawyer in pre-war Czechoslovakia. In JUne 1942, in reprisal for the assassination of "Reichsprotektor" Heydrich, he was sent, together with other Jews, to a concentration camp at Terezin (Theresienstadt). In October 1944 he and all his family were sent to Auscwitz-Birkenau. The author alone escaped the gas chambers and was sent to do slave labour in a nearby factory; later he was transported to Buchenwald. He was set free by the U.S. Army near Jena in April 1945 as one of the last surviving members of a death-march column of Buchenwald inmates. "The Terezin Requiem" was written at the request of surviving fellow-prisoners and to honour the memory of the very talented young conductor Rafael Schnachter as well as the nameless five hundred artists who helped create the Requiem.' (Quotes taken from the flaps of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the first UK edition, complete in the original dustwrapper, in nice collectable condition. The UK edition of this work is quite scarce, especially in the fragile dustwrapper. The book was also published by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., Publishers, New York, and this first American edition is more commonly found. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. John Bance [Wrapper design] (ilustrador).
