Louis Adamic HEMKOMSTEN Swedish trans signed association AN IMMIGRANTS RETURN

Description: Uncut quires in wraps. Spine creased, wraps and pages creased and folded over. Warmly inscribed by the author to his friend, Jim Mally. This is his most well-known work, stemming from a Guggenheim Fellowship which paid for his trip to his homeland. This copy translated into Swedish by Valdemar Langlet. The inscription in the English copy credited Mally with facilitating the trip to and from Croatia, making this a gift of some note. This book came from a sizable estate lot bought at auction. Nearly all the books in the lot were by Adamic, first printings, and were signed, inscribed to either Dr. or Mr. Mally and dated. The rest were wartime histories of Yugoslavia. They represented an association of some importance. A bit of research found that Dr. Mally was a local physician of some considerable importance to the Slavic community in Cleveland. He married [Mayor] Frank Lausche's sister, but far more importantly he served as the mid-western Consulate for the exiled Yugoslavian State and received King Peter in 1942. Adamic was, perhaps, the most significant Slavic author of the times--having established himself as a man of letters in the late 1920's. Mally's offices and home are now known as the Slovenian Hall in the Collinswood area of Cleveland. Adamic was an observer and journalist of the people--whatever people he focused on. Mally is credited by the Slovenian Geneological Society as having written extensively on the Slovenian people in America.
