Daskalov, Doncho

Anarkhizmut V Bulgariia I Borbata Na Partiiata Protiv Nego (Anarchism in Bulgaria and the Struggle of the Party Against It)

Sofiia (Sofia), Partizdat, 1973. First Edition. First edition, 1 of 1300 copies; black paper over boards, printed in red and white; a bit of rubbing to tips of spine and edges; lower front corner bumped; in about very good condition. In Bulgarian, with two separate chapters at the end, in English and in Russian, summarizing the text. An informative, although slanted and steeped in propaganda, history of anarchism in Bulgaria, from the late 19th century, through the world wars and beyond, until its “liquidation” by the Communist Party. It should be pointed out that as late as the 1990s, no comprehensive study of anarchism in Bulgaria had been written. OCLC lists several physical and microfilm copies; none other in the trade. Very good .
