500 ## - GENERAL NOTE |
General note |
"The letters numbered by [the editor, Ettinger], are arranged in four sections in chronological order, with occasional rearrangement for thematic continuity. Each section is preceded by a biographical note. The dates of the letters, mostly missing, were determined by Professor Felix Tych, the Polish editor, after long and meticulous research. A number of [Ettinger's] footnotes are based on his findings. Any editorial deletion is indicated by ellipses in brackets [. . . ]." -- from editor's note |

Summary, etc. |
"This collaboration of 103 letters to her 'comrade and lover', the Lithuanian Marxist Leo Jogiches carefully translated and annotated deals strongly with urgent political and theoretical matters as with their difficult, often strained relationship. The collection is preceded by an incisive and informative essay by the translator, and followed by a short historical note and an index that reads like a directory of the European Left era." -- Ludo Abicht, Antioch Review |
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. |
Summary, etc. |
"Rosa Luxemburg wrote nearly a thousand letters to Leo Jogiches, her lover and comrade. [The letters] reveal a woman, hitherto unknown, whose sex did not diminish her political stature and whose politics did not interfere with her private life. It would also expose the fragility of the concept that a woman can not, without giving up love, realize her talent... Luxemburg was a woman of impatient temper and great passion. This is reflected in the tone of the letters more than in the words, in the rhythm more than in the language. It is the tone and emotional cadence [Ettinger, the translator] has attempted to preserve... Luxemburg's letters (Jorgiche's letters to her have not survived) mirror the various overlapping stages of the struggle: the master/disciple, adored/adoring, and child/parent relationships, and the reverse of each. The letters disclose their weapons: love, seduction, provocation, rewards, and punishments, and their underlying erotic currents. Both partners used the letters as a substitute for an everyday life together and as a means of controlling the other. The letters also served as a workshop in which political strategies were worked out, alliances negotiated, opposition forces gauged, ammunition, articles and speeches, jointly produced. And they show that in politics it is impossible to say where Luxemburg started and Jogiches ended." --from introduction |
