SIGNED COPY OF AN INFLUENTIAL BOOK
Thurman, Howard (1900 -1981) JESUS AND THE DISINHERITED.
$750.00Nashville: Abingdon-Cokesbury Press, (1949) First printing. An attempt to answer the question of why Christianity seems impotent to deal radically and effectively with issues of discrimination and injustice based on race, religion and national origin – an issue which Thurman, a minister and civil rights activist, wrote frequently about. In his preface, he noted that the full development of his ideas were in a series of lectures – the Mary L. Smith Memorial Lectures which he gave at Samuel Huston College, Austin, Texas in April 1948, and upon which this book is based. In it, he interprets the teachings of Jesus through the experiences of the oppressed and discusses nonviolent responses to this oppression. According to Martin Luther King’s biographer, King studied this book during the Montgomery bus boycott. INSCRIBED by Thurman on the title page. Scarce in the first edition, especially signed. 112 pp. Very good in burgundy boards with gilt lettering on the spine (light rubbing to lettering on spine, bookplate). 750.00

Scarce 1944 Indian Edition Honoring Gandhi’s 75th
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi [Mahatma]; Edited by D.G. Tendulkar; M. Chalapathi Rau; et al. A Word for the Readers by Mohandas Gandhi; Introduction by Jawaharlal Nehru Gandhiji: His Life and Work Published on His 75th Birthday, October 2, 1944
$1,250.00Bombay: Keshav Bhikaji Dhawale, 1944. Hardcover. 4to., 405 pp. Original publisher’s light brown coarse khaki cloth with dark brown leather spine, gilt lettering, patterned endpapers, illustrated with black and white photographs and tipped-in color plates, frontispiece. First unabridged edition of this tribute to Gandhi, with introductions by Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru and a biographical essay by Albert Einstein. Published in 1944 to both commemorate Mahatma Gandhi’s 75th birthday and support the Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Fund. Contains essays by various contemporaries examining Gandh’s political career, social reform efforts, and influence on Indian society as well as a curated selection of Gandhi’s own writings, including speeches and letters. Although Gandhi generally declined to participate in birthday commemorations, he wrote a preface for this volume, citing its charitable purpose. As a mid-career publication released during Gandhi’s lifetime, the book reflects the contemporary reception of his work and offers early interpretations of his role in the Indian independence movement. Published in India in 1944 to mark Mahatma Gandhi’s seventy-fifth birthday, Gandhiji: His Life and Work stands as one of the earliest comprehensive tributes to the spiritual and political leader of India’s independence movement. Issued before independence and while Gandhi was still alive, this commemorative volume documents his philosophy of non-violence, his leadership during the freedom struggle, and the global recognition of his influence. Copies of this edition are scarce, particularly in well-preserved condition, as many were printed under wartime paper constraints. A significant historical document from the final years of British India—offering both biographical insight and period authenticity. Very Good, intact with some age toning, soiling, handling and wear. Institutional ownership stamp on title page. Item #726202511
