Nguyễn Sinh Cung, dit HO CHI-MINH

Carnet de prison

Pierre Seghers, Paris 1963, 13x19cm, reliure de l'éditeur.

Carnet de prison [The Prison Diary]

First edition of the French translation, for which there has not been printed any grand papier (deluxe) copies.

Red publisher's cloth, beautiful copy retaining its dust jacket.
Very rare Hô Chi Minh's handwritten signature.
The Resistant Léo Figuères went to Vietnam in 1950 to attend the Communist Youth Congress; it is there that he met Hô Chi-Minh for the first time. On his return to France, he published his reports and his work Je reviens du Vietnam libre, with 200,000 copies distributed. Calling for an end to the colonial war and for peace, the work cost him prosecution and conviction.
Written in classical Chinese, these poems – written between 29 August 1942 and 10 September 1943 – were transcribed into Sino-Vietnamese, then translated and published for the first time in Vietnamese in 1960.
In 1964, Hô Chi-Minh traveled to Paris where he took part in the 1st May demonstrations. At the time of this journey, he was invited to appear on the television programme “Cinq Colonnes à la Une”.
 
We enclose a copy of the Testament du président Ho Chi Minh (Présidence du Conseil des Ministres, Hanoï, 1969) containing a photographic reproduction of the portrait of Uncle Hô as well as a facsimile of the first page of the draft.
