Cómo Puede América Pronto y Fácilmente Impedir Para Siempre Las Guerras...Un Plan Pro-Paz Original e Independiente El Más Sencillo y Práctico
Chicago: Published by the author, 1925. One of numerous works by the Italian-American idealist, writer and philosopher Luigi Carnovale on his peace plan based on the principle of the abolition of neutrality. Originally published by Carnovale in English in 1924 as How America Can Easily and Quickly Prevent Wars Forever, the work was translated into Spanish by a Mexican named Rodolfo Ruiz and then published by Carnovale in Chicago where he worked tirelessly as an immigrant editor, journalist, and international authority on pacifism (in the prologue, Ruiz calls him “el moderno apóstol de la Fraternidad y de la Paz”).
Carnovale was born in 1879 in Italy where he became a well-known journalist. He came to the U.S. in 1904 to cover the World’s Fair in St. Louis where he remained, although he soon moved to Chicago where he would spend the rest of his life editing Italian-American newspapers, teaching at the Berlitz School of Languages and evangelizing for peace. His most famous work was Why Italy Entered the Great War (1917). In his short article, “The Immigrant Editor: Making a Living in Urban America” (1981), Gary Mormino reprints the claim by Ergido Clemente, “the Italian-American publishing patriarch of the Windy City,” that Carnovale was found dead in printing shop in 1931 of starvation. The Carnovale Foundation in Italy is named in his honor.
Stapled wrappers (7 ¼” x 4 ”), 41 p., frontispiece of a bust of Carnovale. Duplicate stamp from the Swarthmore College Peace Collection to the top corner of the front wrapper; no other library markings present. Item #9937
