A propos de cet article

Small 8vo, original pictorial wrappers. North German Lloyd, 1936. Wrappers somewhat chipped and edge-worn with some soiling. A remarkable artifact. Wrappers somewhat chipped and edge-worn with some soiling. A remarkable artifact Heavily annotated copy of the passenger list (tourist class) from Wolfe's voyage to Europe in 1936, with his signature and the signatures of other passengers on the ship. Wolfe?s signature reads: ?Tom Wolfe, 865 First Avenue, N. Y. City.? In the printed list of passengers, Wolfe?s name is misspelled ?Wolf? Laid in is an original glossy photographic postcard of six of the passengers including Wolfe, with the signatures of each of the passengers in the picture on the verso. On this trip to Europe, Wolfe attended the 1936 Olympics which began on August 1st in Berlin and adapted his observations in a novella entitled ?I Have a Thing to Tell You? which was published in The New Republic. At the Olympics, he accompanied Martha Dodd, the daughter of William Dodd, the U. S. Ambassador to Germany, and sat close to Hitler?s press box. Dodd, a liberal Democrat from North Carolina, was appointed by Roosevelt to oppose the Nazi?s antisemitic policies, and served in that capacity from 1933 to 1937, eventually resigning over his inability to persuade the Roosevelt administration to act against the Nazis. Martha Dodd, after an initial flirtation with the Nazis, turned against them and, owing to her romantic relationship with Boris Vinogradov, a Soviet press attaché in Berlin, began to spy for the Soviet Union. [Vinogradov was executed in Stalin?s Great Purge of 1938.] Martha Dodd had numerous affairs, usually with a political purpose, and eventually married the millionaire Alfred K. Stern, Jr. after returning to the United States in 1938. She continued spying for the Soviet Union until after the war. She was the author of a number of memoirs and novels, and is the subject of a number of books, including In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson, which is based on the Dodd family?s experiences in Berlin in the 1930s. The present copy appears to have belonged to Edwin Arthur Hill, who became a professor at Columbia University in New York.…
