[Slovene Littoral, Printed for Agitprop, Presumably 1944]. Small4to. In the original stapled printed grey wrappers. Previous owner's name in light pencil to front wrapper and title-page. A few brown spots to title-page, otherwise a very fine and clean copy. 52 pp.
Exceedingly rare Slovenian translation of the Communist Manifesto. This virtually unknown edition is not to be found in any bibliography nor on OCLC. The present edition of the Manifesto was printed and distributed by Agitprop, the Communist Party institution that controlled education, publishing, libraries and mass media from the end of World War II until 1952. Presumably the present publication was among the first publications made by Agitprop. Until the end of World War II Agitprop was essentially an underground movement whose goal was to pave the way for communism after the war. After the resistance in Slovenia started in summer 1941, Italian violence against the Slovene civilian population escalated and to counter the Communist-led insurgence, the Italians sponsored local anti-guerrilla units, formed mostly by the local conservative Catholic Slovene population that resented the revolutionary violence of the partisans. After the Italian armistice of September 1943, the Germans took over both the Province of Ljubljana and the Slovenian Littoral. They united the Slovene anti-Communist counter-insurgence into the Slovene Home Guard and appointed a puppet regime in the Province of Ljubljana. The anti-Nazi resistance however expanded, creating its own administrative structures as the basis for Slovene statehood within a new, federal and socialist Yugoslavia.In 1945, Yugoslavia was liberated by the underground resistance and soon became a socialist federation known as the People's Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Slovenia joined the federation as a constituent republic, led by its own pro-Communist leadership and Agitprop became the official mass media institution.Not in OCLC

Preveo M. Pijade (Belgrad), Biblioteka Marksizma-Lenjinizma, 1945. 8vo (195 x 145 mm). In the original printed wrappers. A few small nicks to wrappers and a few occassional light markings in margin. Otherwise a fine and clean copy. 64, (3) pp.
First Croatian translation of the Communist Manifesto, translated by Moša Pijade (1890 – 1957), a Yugoslav communist, politician and Tito’s close friends. Pijade also translated the introductions to previous translations to other languages, to help the reader to understand the importance of the work. Pijade, artist, art critic and author, was born in Belgrade and of Sephardic Jewish parentage. He joined the Communist party in the 1920s, in which he was active as a writer for various newspapers and magazines. After having translated ‘Das Kapital’ in 1924, Pijade was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison because of his ‘revolutionary activities’, a sentence, for which he served 14 years. In the prison Moša Pijade befriended Josip Bros-Tito, who was also imprisoned for his illegal communist activities, and the two men became good friends. During WWII, Pijade became one of the leaders of Tito’s partisans and after the war the President of the Yugoslavian Parliament between 1954 and 1955. In 1948, Pijade convinced Tito to allow the Yugoslav Jews to immigrate to Israel.
