Title: Free Vistas Author: Joseph Ishill Date: 1933 Language: en Topics: Anthology of Life & Letters Source: The book itself Notes: The original title is Free Vistas. Several pieces are translated and there are so many translators that the list is extensive.

Becquer, author of “The Night of the Dead”, Victor Hugo, writer of “Tomorrow”, etc.
Your text here...This book is a collection of stories, poems, essays and
letters on the central theme of oppression and need for people to summon
courage to fight for improvement of living, working, and social
conditions. It includes works by a host of writers, far too many to list
here. However, the works include pieces by well-known personages such as
Emma Goldman’s A Woman without a Country, Oliver Wendell Holmes’ Give us
men! and Buonarrroti’s ON DANTE ALIGHIERI, along with writings by
lesser-known, and perhaps, obscure people such as Ada Negri (FOR YOU
MOTHER), and Octave Mirbeau (On the highway). The book is complemented
and accented by dozens of marvellous woodcuts. Its length, complexity of
topics and writing styles require a fair amount of reading time —
perhaps moe than once through — in order to absorb not only the writings
but the thinking behind the writings. The book was given to my mother by
Hippolyte Havel and inscribed “To Ermes Conti with Love from Hippolyte
Havel”. My mother and father, Emilio Coda, a well-known anarchist, were
joined in common-law marriage and both knew many of the anarchists and
“activists” from the 1920s through the 1930s.
