Trade union movement, workers' demands, historical strikes and proletarian condition testimonies

First edition in French.
Handsome copy despite a small tear neatly repaired at head of spine.
Rare pamphlet of Spartacist inspiration denouncing in 1934 "international capitalism preparing for war".

First edition for the second and fourth texts; second and third editions for the other two.
Some foxing.
Half bronze sheep binding, smooth spine decorated with gilt cartouche and gilt fleurons, headcap worn, rubbing to joints and spine, black shagreen title-label, marbled paper boards, combed paper endpapers and pastedowns, marbled edges, upper corners slightly bumped.

First edition.
Boards marginally discolored and lightly sunned.

Each volume in its first edition: one of 30 numbered copies on Pur fil paper for the first, one of 14 numbered copies on Hollande for the second and third, one of 36 numbered copies on Hollande from the fourth to the ninth, one of 35 numbered copies on Hollande for the tenth and last.
Each work is presented in a brown half morocco slipcase, smooth spine slightly sunned, gilt date at the foot of spine, marbled paper boards, wood-like paper inside.

Inquisition et antisémitisme - Résumé de l'histoire juive [suivi de] Le Rêve par Louise Michel
Imprimerie GMarichal & Cie, Paris s.d(1898), 12 x 15 cm, stapled
Rare first edition of this “Résumé de l'histoire juive” bound for the working population: “Il m'a paru utile en ce moment où la campagne antisémite, entreprise depuis dix ans pas Drumont et ses complices, devient de plus en plus aiguë, passionne tout le corps social et peut, d'un moment à l'autre - ou dans un temps donné - sous la protection d'un gouvernement clérico-militaire - se traduire en actes terribles de persécution en France et en Algérie, de publier quelques notes historiques sur le peuple juif. Les camarades qui n'ont guère le temps de s'instruire aux bibliothèques pourront ainsi, confronter leur jugement des choses vécues avec les enseignements de l'histoire sur les griefs reprochés aux juifs par les antisémites qui prêchent leur extermination.” “It seemed useful to me at a time when the anti-Semitic campaign, undertaken for ten years by Drumont and his accomplices, which is becoming more and more acute, exciting the whole social body and which may, from one moment to another - or in any given time - under the protection of a clerical-military government - translate into terrible acts of persecution in France and Algeria, to publish some historical notes on the Jewish people. The comrades who have little time to learn in libraries will thus be able to confront their judgement of things experienced with the lessons of history on the grievances reproached to the Jews by the anti-Semites who preach their extermination.”
Some marginal folding and tears as well as small corner pieces missing.
“Après la chute de l'Empire, [Constant Martin] fut, en tant que délégué des vingt arrondissements, un des signataires de l'Affiche rouge du 6 janvier 1871, proclamation au peuple de Paris pour dénoncer «a trahison» du gouvernement du 4 septembre et pour mettre en avant trois mots d'ordre : Réquisition générale, rationnement gratuit, attaque en masse.” “After the fall of the Empire, [Constant Martin] was, as delegate of the twenty arrondissments, one of the signatories of the Affiche Rouge of 6 January 1871, a proclamation to the people of Paris to denounce a “betrayal” of the government on 4 September and to put forward three slogans: General requisition, free rationing, mass attack.” (Maintron) It is therefore not surprising to find at the end of this brochure an unpublished poem by Louise Michel mentioning the anti-Semitic riot in Algeria.

Half red morocco binding, spine with five raised bands, grey paper endpapers and boards, original wrappers and spine preserved, top edge gilt, signed binding by Goy & Vilaine.
Born in Belgium to anti-tsarist émigré parents, Victor Serge became politically engaged from the age of fifteen, militating within the ranks of the Young Socialist Guard. An antimilitarist and libertarian, he took part in numerous anarchist demonstrations and was sentenced for having sheltered members of the Bonnot Gang. In 1919, he placed himself at the service of the revolution and became a member of the Russian Communist Party, before strongly condemning the Stalinist degeneration of the Soviet state. Expelled from the Party and stripped of his Soviet nationality, he was ultimately banished from the U.S.S.R. in 1936, a few months before the first Moscow Trial. Close to Leon Trotsky, he translated several of his works before distancing himself from him, judging his ideology to be overly sectarian.
A rare and very fine copy of this essay written by Trotsky during his exile in Norway, which would not be published in the U.S.S.R. until 1991.
