Signed book: Corcil Anlatiyor (The Second World War). First Turkish edition. Istanbul: Vatan, 1948. Hardcover, 5.75 x 8, 500 pages. Printed in Turkish. Signed and inscribed on the first free end page, “Inscribed by Winston S. Churchill for Emery Reves, 1948.” Block of uniform toning covering the signature and inscription, wrinkling to the signed page, a light block of uniform toning to the last free end page, corner bumps, and a bit of shelf wear to the head and heel of the spine, otherwise fine condition.
Reves was a Hungarian-born writer and activist who also served as Churchill’s literary agent. In the late 1930s, he bolstered Churchill’s international profile by syndicating many of his prophetical articles prior to World War II. After the war, Churchill solicited his agent’s help in negotiating the sale of the US rights for this book—with Reves purchasing the international rights for himself. He eventually sold serialization rights for the tome to 27 newspapers worldwide and secured book rights in 11 European countries, including Turkey. The duo is said to have worked closely together on the writing of the book itself, earning Reves not only Churchill’s admiration but this signed volume.
