Description

Angelica Balabanoff (b. Ukraine 1878, d. Rome 1965) was a Russian Jewish–Italian communist and social democratic activist. She served as secretary of the Comintern and later became a political party leader in Italy.

This poetry collection includes French, German & English (self-consciously promoting Balabanoff's cosmpolitanism) as well as Italian poetry by Balabanoff, who loved Italians, and lived in Russia, where she was highly respected. However, she was disappointed with the Bolshevik regime and discouraged by the fate of the revolution, according to Enrico Arrigoni, q.v.

On the cover is a laudatory blurb by Charles Edward Russell about Balabanoff's "indefatigable sympathy with her fellow man." Her My Life as a Rebel remains in print, having gone through several editions.
