4779Hemingway survived two plane crashes in Africa in January 1954. He and his wife Mary Welsh essentially unhurt from the first crash and picked up by a sightseeing boat went down a second time when their rescue plane crashed and burned. Several newspapers reported the Hemingways dead but this false story was soon corrected. Newspapers printed the good news that the internationally renown writer was alive with images of a robust and smiling Hemingway. We offer four of these press photos each with a description attached on aging paper and stamped on verso by the news service. Each is 7"x 9" curled at the edges but otherwise in very good condition. The descriptions attached at the lower edge of each photo are on browned paper brittle at the lower edge where the page remains partially attached to the photograph. The photographs briefly described: <br/>Image 1 Hemingway and Pauline Pfeiffer second wife in Kenya International News Photos 1934. <br/>Image 2 Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn third wife on safari in Africa International News Photos 1940.<br/> Images 3 and 4 Hemingway with American bull fighter Sidney Franklin Kenya International News Photos1937. <br/>Image 5 Hemingway and Mary Welsh his wife at the time of the plane crash "as they arrived in New York in 1950 aboard the Ile de France." Associated Press. <br/>Note on images: The typed descriptions attached to each photo and verso press service stamp are similar to the photo of Hemingway with Sidney Franklin. unknown books

1935121993New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1935. First edition of Hemingway's second work of nonfiction an account of a month on safari he and his wife took in East Africa during December 1933. Octavo original green cloth decorations by Edward Shenton. Near fine in a bright very good dust jacket. A nice example. Green Hills of Africa was published in 1935 but initially appeared in Scribners Magazine the same year Meyers 1985. The first edition explains that Hemingway "attempted to write an absolutely true book to see whether the shape of a country and the pattern of a month's action can if truly presented compete with a work of the imagination." The author's intentions were quickly confirmed when the first print-run sold a popular 10500 copies and it was aptly praised by The New York Times as "a fine book on death in the African afternoon.The writing is the thing; that way he has of getting down with beautiful precision the exact way things look smell taste feel sound." Not unlike Hemingway's virtuosic abilities Green Hills of Africa also offers the writer's opinions on the value of his contemporaries: "The good American writers are Henry James Stephen Crane and Mark Twain Henry James wanted to make money. He never did of course." Hemingway adds that most American writers are inadequate and "came to a bad end" The value of Green Hills of Africa therefore is three-fold. It serves as masterly written entertainment a successful social experiment that tested the receptivity of the American public and an insight into the author's literary evaluation. The Observer is correct when it wrote "If he were never to write again his name would live as long as the English language for Green Hills of Africa takes its place beside his other works on that small shelf in our libraries which we reserve for the classics."

19528678Chicago. Life Magazine. August 1952. Galley Proofs are imprinted in black ink upon 9.0" x 30.0" sheets. A stamp in blue ink stating "ADVANCE GALLEY PROOFS" appears at top of title sheet. Further blue stamp stating "Advance Galley Proofs For Your Personal Reading Only. LIFE Publication Date Sept.1". Accompanying letter is typed upon Life advertising department letterhead sheet 7.0" x 11.0" and is dated August 19 1952. Signed in ink by C.W. Hanson. Original advance Galley Proofs prepared by Life Magazine for its special publication of the novel in its September 1 1952 issue. The Life publication was the 1st appearance of Hemingway's novel preceeding the Scribners book publication of September 8 1952. The September 1 issue of Life was solely devoted to the novel which was accompanied by photographs by Alfred Eisenstadt. The issue sold in excess of five million copies. A letter from Life Magazine Chicago Advertising Manager C.W. Hanson to an unidentified recipient accompanies these proofs and explains in detail the Magazine's motivation for publication of Hemingway's work. e.g. "Our editors were so impressed with this newest bit of Hemingway- actually they think its "one of the greatest stories of our time"- that they have decided to publish all 30000 words of it in the September 1st issue of LIFE." . "Here's a galley proof of The Old Man of the Sea so that you can come on the story with the same sense of discovery of interest and greatness that the editors recognize. I hope you enjoy it." The letter contains further interesting comments. Due to the nature and quality of paper in galley production these tri-folded sheets are extremely brittle and present chipping to top and side edges- not intruding upon text. Several short starts at folds may be seen. The title page sheet has severely split at both folds and has been reattached with adhesive tape- not affecting title text. This same condition is more dramatically evidenced on the final sheet with a hole intruding upon the middle of 4 lines of text. Life Magazine. unknown books
