Klaní a porubání.: Nevázané myšlenky v řeči vázané.

12mo 15.6x12 cm., stiff wrappers, 48 [3] pp. (Jousting and Butchery. Loose thoughts in bound speech). Cover and illustrations by František Bidlo. Vojtěch (1922-2003) was an editor and translator, social and political critic. Published during the waning days of the German occupationi, most likely after the imprisonment of Bidlo, who had illustrated Vojtěch's other anti-Nazi epigrams published during the protectorate. Here Bidlo provides the cover illustration with drawings from previous publications, suggesting the book came out during the weeks before his death from typhus the day after liberation. Bidlo had famously been sent to the Terezin concentration camp for saying that "after the war, Hitler will be working a wheelbarrow on the construction of Stalingrad." The preface epigram is entitled Grossdeutches Reich and is a monologue of a forced labor prisoner. Inscribed by the author in 1945 to Zdeněk Ančík, an important resistance fighter, author and editor of the avant-garde magazine Trn during the 1920s. Uncommon, worldcat locates three holdings: NKC, BL, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, none in North America. This copy fine.
