My Further Disillusionment in Russia
Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Page, and Company, 1924. First Edition, stated. Hardcover octavo (5-1/4 x 7-1/2 inches) in printed dust jacket. Burgundy cloth with titles stamped in gilt to top board and spine. 178pp. First Edition of Emma Goldman's second book regarding her deportation from the United States to Russia and her critiques and dissatisfaction there with the aftermath of the 1917 Russian Revolution, which she witnessed in her two years there (1920-1921). Her first book on the subject, My Disillusionment in Russia was published without much of the content she had prepared for it, and so this second volume was issued the following year. Lithuanian-born anarchist Emma Goldman (1869-1940) emigrated to the United States in 1885 and went on to become "the most dangerous woman in America" for her firebrand oration, writing, publishing, and deeds all under the banner and towards the achievement of her revolutionary anarchist philosophy. About Near Fine. Lightly pushed about extremities; minor soiling to boards and outer text block; else sound, clean, square. Unclipped dust jacket toned, soiled, and with periods of loss, most seriously to about half the spine. Item #3690
