Buvo žmogus be koju.: Be šiedies šalta ie nyku.

Octavo 18.5x13.5 cm., illustrated wrappers, 256pp. Liudas Dovydenas (1905-2000) was a prolific author who was widely published by 1936. Hunted by the Nazis and Soviets alike, he emigrated to the USA during WWII and edited Lithuanian émigré journals, eventually returning to Lithuania in 1998. The present work is his second, 'There Was a Man Without a Leg,' a melodramatic tale about the life of a provincial teacher. In this work there is already psychological and high moral message that characterize his later works. The cover design is by the artist Vytautas Kairiukštis (1890-1961), acknowledged as the most important artist of the Lithuanian avant-garde; he co-authored the first Constructivist manifesto with Wladiyslaw Strzeminski in Poland and was also a member of the Blok group in Warsaw.
