Contemporary cloth binding with gilt-stamped spine title (rubbed, bumped and stained, joints chipped) and contemporary half leather binding with gilt-stamped spine title (rubbed and bumped). The first four complete volumes of the very rare Yiddish-language anarchist journal, which was published in England by the German-born anarchist Rudolf Rocker (1873-1958). - Includes: Volume 1: Issues 1-20, March 16, 1900-August 1902. - Volume 2: Issues 1-5, September 1902-March 1903. - Volume 3: Issues 1-12, January 1905-December 1905. - Volume 4: Issues 1-12, April 1906-March 1907. - Rocker, a skilled craftsman, was the author, editor and publisher of numerous Yiddish newspapers and magazines despite his non-Jewish heritage. In 1900, with the help of a young printer named Narodiczky, Rocker founded the magazine, which initially appeared every two weeks and was named after the novel of the same name by Émile Zola. Compared to Arbeter Fraynd, another of Rocker's publications, it was aimed at a more intellectual audience. Publication had to be discontinued in 1903 due to lack of funds, only to be revived in January 1905 by Rocker and his comrades-in-arms. The Jewish anarchist workers' movement in London was on the rise, resulting in increased demand for the magazine, which was expanded to 48 pages. Nevertheless, publication was discontinued in 1908. - With a title page and table of contents (2 pp.) for 1900-1902 and an illustrated title for 1906/07. - Volumes 1-3: slightly browned, block broken at the end, slightly brownstained in places. - Volume 4: block detached from binding and loosened, illustrated title reinforced and with marginal tears, without the table of contents, 2 missing leaves replaced by copies, somewhat stained in places, the first and last leaves with marginal tears.
