Louis Adamic MY NATIVE LAND signed 1946 Nazi occupation Serb resistance Balkans

Description: Tight, clean, crisp, sharp, flat and square book in jacket with minor nicks and chips. Stated third edition (printing). Signed and inscribed to Mrs. Johanna Mally on the FFEP, dated 1947. 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. This book is the third in a series of books about his homeland, written during the epic struggle for freedom from Nazi rule which lead to the reunification of the kingdom under Tito as Yugoslavia which later dissolved into chaos.
