Bereshit A, Moscow-Leningrad, 1926. Printed in Berlin by Gutenberg Press. Front cover illustration in the Russian avant-garde style by Joseph Tchaikov.
Literary anthology, no other volumes printed. The writers' group that published the book was unable to find a printing house in the Soviet Union prepared to print a Hebrew book, and the manuscript was therefore sent to Berlin for printing. Only a small portion of the printed copies were allowed into the Soviet Union. “Illustration of the publishing sign by B. Shovin.”
[4], 200, [4] pages, 23 cm.
Very good condition. Damage to the corners and edges of the cover.
