First edition. Although primarily known in the West as a prose writer and journalist (his novel Ottepel’ (The Thaw, 1954) coined the term for the era in the post-Stalin period), Ehrenburg (1891–1967) in fact wrote poetry all his life. The title for this collection, published in the south-eastern Belarussian town of Gomel, comes from Luke 12:49: ‘I am come to send fire on the earth…’

Kilgour 295; Tarasenkov, p. 424.

Extremely rare Civil War edition (first London, 1883).
