Title-page cover [17] leaves. 

Events in Israel, Telegrams and Information in Illustration, printing press of Eitan V'Shoshani, Tel Aviv 1929. First edition which was printed in Hebrew and English in Israel.

In the book are cartoons illustrated by Nachum Gutman in a sharp and critical manner against the behavior of the British Mandate during the 1929 massacres in Israel, when they did not get involved, an act which was seen as assisting the Arab rioters, [a cartoon depicting British soldiers in an airplane flying above Israel with massacres beneath them and the writing "A wonderful sunset in the Holy Land" with an expression of studied disregard on their faces], and against the Arab rioters themselves, such as a cartoon which says "Ten cigarettes for every murdered Jew - mabruk [congratulations]", with Arab figures next to the speaker.

The booklet made a great impression in Israel and was circulated in various groups until the British authorities discovered it and confiscated all of the booklets it could find. In 1930 a second edition was printed in Warsaw in three languages - Hebrew, Yiddish and English, after they had run out in Israel due to the British censor. Before us is a copy of the first, original copy of the book, from the few copies which survived the British censor. On the pre-title page is written in handwriting from the time of printing: "The book was confiscated on 23/9".

Front and back binding are detached.

Chaim Nachman Bialik's poems translated into French published by the HaChalutz HaTzair Federation, Alexandria. June 1944.

A booklet which was published in Egypt to mark 10 years since Bialik's death, as part of the attempt to spread the Zionist culture in the oriental countries and to make the Egyptian Jews aware that Bialik was the "National Poet". As the publisher writes in the foreword: "Bialik is not well-known among Egyptian Jews, either due to lack of knowledge of the language of his poems or for other reasons, despite his being accepted today as the national poet. If this modest booklet should help bring Bialik to the public - this alone will be our reward". 

At the beginning of the booklet is a picture of Bialik and it contains a selection of his well-known poems such as: El HaTzippor, B'Shel HaTapuach, Hachniseini Tachat Knafecha and others. Foreword in Hebrew and French about Bialik and his poems. Poems in French with titles in Hebrew and French. 

A rare booklet which is not found in the National Library. 

Title-page cover with tears in the margins of the front and back covers, paper pasted instead of the spine.
