Dark blue cloth with yellow decoration and lettering to front panel and spine. 84 pages + ads.\nRegina Miriam Bloch (b. Sondershausen, Thuringia, November 1888; d. London, 1 March 1938).Regina was educated in Germany and in London. She started appearing in print around 1906, and she published frequently in periodicals for the next few decades, including The Academy, The Idler,  The Spectator, The Saturday Review. She contributed book reviews (mostly of non-fiction) to The Occult Review from around 1914 through 1926. For a time she was the Honorary President of the Jewish Society for Psychical Research.  \n\nHer work included two volumes of short stories, most of which are mystical and decadent, and some but not all are eastern. The first collection, The Swine-Gods and Other Visions (London: John Richmond, 1917), is a slim volume containing seven stories, the most substantial of which is the title story. All appear in print for the first time save for the third tale, \"The New Creation,\" an exemplary vision that previously appeared in The Occult Review (January 1915). There is also a Foreword by Israel Zangwill (1864-1926), a friend of Bloch's. The dust-wrapper is gorgeously designed by W. Gordon Mein (1866-1939). \nAn interesting example of a rare Book especially in DJ and signed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eBook Condition: \u003c\/span\u003eVery Good+: Minor bumping and rubbing to corners and spine ends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eDust Jacket Condition: \u003c\/span\u003eGood+: Top edge trimmed and minor wear to edges and spine ends with slight tanning to spine,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eHCX22809-1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Heartwood Books and Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44009039396975,"sku":"HCX22809-1","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/1291\/4287\/files\/57_5614bfa9-ba4a-4343-823f-36b6253cb614.jpg?v=1766515454","url":"https:\/\/heartwoodbooksandart.com\/products\/the-swine-gods-by-regina-miriam-bloch-first-edition-signed","provider":"Heartwood Books and Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
