A selection from Ze'ev Jabotinsky's literary work. Three volumes. Paris: Voltaire, 1930. Russian. Numbered edition, hand-signed by Ze'ev Jabotinsky.
Each of the volumes is dedicated to a different part of his works: stories (Разсказы), poems (Стихи) and the long composition "The Truth about the Island Tristan da Runha" (Causeries, Правда об острове Тристан да Рунья). Accompanied by illustrations by Arthur Szyk within the text, and plates of prints facing each of the title pages (two with a photograph of Jabotinsky and one with a drawing of his portrait. Signed "Mac, 1930").
Numbered copy, 65/200. On the first leaf of each of the volumes appears Ze'ev Jabotinsky's signature, in Russian.
117; 209, [1]; 191 pp, approx. 17.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains and blemishes. Tears at margins (mostly small). One leaf has a widthwise tear, reinforced at the margins with a label. Ink stamps on upper margins of first leaves. The leaves with Jabotinsky's signature and a number of additional leaves are detached. Worn and rubbed bindings (mainly at corners, margins and spines).
