L. Pasternak, his Life and Work, by Haim Nachman Bialik and Max Osborn. Berlin: Stybel Publishing House, 1924.
Leonid Osipovich Pasternak (1862-1945) – a fine monograph with 148 prints, including twenty four lithographs, and two essays about the artist and his work by Haim Nachman Bialik and Max Osborn.
Copy no. 58 from an edition of one hundred copies, with a lithograph signed by Pasternak – portrait of the author Émile Verhaeren.
On the first page appears a dedication written by hand: "to Ze'ev Jabotinsky, in memory of days when we fought and dreamt", signed by the poet Ya'akov Cahan and his wife Miriam. Dated: 24.3.1927.
Ya'akov Cahan (1881-1960), poet, translator and Zionist activist, winner of Israel Prize for Literature, in 1953 and in 1958. Known as one of the outstanding poets of the Revisionist movement, and author of some of its well known songs: "Shir HaBiryonim", "Shir HaZeva'ot" and other songs.
Zeev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky (1880-1940), Zionist leader, author and translator. Founder of the Revisionist Zionism. In his youth he dedicated his time to writing plays and literature but in 1903, following a series of pogroms in East Europe, he changed his views and became a committed Zionist. In World War I he was co-founder of the "Jewish Legion", Jewish units of the British Army, and later he himself joined the legion, in spite of his advanced age – 37. The dispute between Jabotinsky and the Zionist institutes, that were, in his opinion, too compromising, reached a peak when the "White Book" was published in 1922, after which Jabotinsky retired from the Zionist Organization and founded "Brit HaZionim HaRevisionistim"– the most extreme critic of the Zionist movement. In 1931 he undertook the role of Etzel commander and in 1936 instructed to "break the restraint" which marked the beginning of an open struggle against the British. During a visit to New-York in 1940, Jabotinsky died of a heart attack.
