Author: Woolf, Leonard
Title: Quack Quack!
Description: London, Hogarth Press, 1937. QUACK QUACK! Hogarth Press. Cheap Edition 1937 8vo. 193 pp. in gray cloth with black lettering stamped on spine housed in the Avant-Guard book jacket wrapper design by the American Artist E. McKnight Kauffer. This black photomontage with bold red black and blue was a very new style for the time. A few tiny nicks on the jacket and a light blue ink smear on the back. "The title of Quack, Quack! suggests the barnyard sounds of the orating Hitler and Mussolini. With devastating effect, Woolf matched photographs of the eye-bulging Hawaiian war god Kukailimoku to those of the gesticulating bellicose dictators. Woolf's two-hundred page attack on fascism concentrated on the savage quackery of modern totalitarianism but also discussed the intellectual sources he found in Carlyle, Nietzsche, and Spengler. Woolf's list of heroes who battled against the totalitarians for the light of civilization began with Erasmus and Montaigne and included Thomas More, Giordano Bruno, Spinoza, Descartes, Voltaire, Rousseau, Kant, and Goethe." *J.H. Willis Jr, Leonard and Virginia Woolf as Publishers: The Hogarth Press 1917-1941 A very good copy for any Hogarth Press and Leonard Woolf collector. .
