19351838New York: Scribner's 1935. First edition. Fine. FIRST EDITION FIRST APPEARANCE of Hemingway's classic account of his 1933 African safari; this Scribner's magazine appearance precedes the first edition in book form. "Green Hills of Africa was written in Key West in 1934 mostly over a period of several months with interruptions for fishing expeditions in the Caribbean and another trip to Cuba. Published in October 25 1935 after serialization in Scribner's magazine it was indeed a book about landscape though Hemingway referred to it in more magical or mystical terms as 'country'. 

<br /> <br /> "It is probably that this communication of the sense of place and the sense of the immediacy and palpability of the experience in that place is what gives the Green Hills of Africa its special distinction.

<br /> <br /> "But even more than country Green Hills of Africa is a book about writing and writers. As a writer he wanted to see 'how far prose can be carried if any one is serious enough and has luck' to see if prose could attain a fourth and even a fifth dimension." Mellow Hemingway: A Life Without Consequences; Baker Hemingway the Writer as Artist.

1926122368New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1926. First edition of Hemingway's first novel one of 1250 printed. Octavo bound in full morocco gilt titles and ruling to the spine raised bands double gilt ruled to the front and rear panels gilt signature of Hemingway to the front panel marbled endpapers all edges gilt. In fine condition. An exceptional presentation. Ernest Hemingway's first novel and third published book was preceded by Three Stories and Ten Poems and the collection of stories In Our Time. "Hemingway was planning a carefully engineered campaign for breaking his contract with Boni and Liveright and maneuvering to place his novel The Sun Also Rises with Scribner's. The vehicle was. the satirical novel The Torrents of Spring which was clearly calculated to cause problems with his publisher since it was a deliberate parody of Sherwood Anderson Boni and Liveright's best-selling author. Boni and Liveright had the option on his next three books one of which had to be a novel. If however they turned down the book that Hemingway submitted next he was free of his obligations to the publisher and could go elsewhere." Hemingway wrote Ezra Pound that he "had written 'a funny book'. It was a satire on America he claimed 'Probably unprintable but funny as hell. Wrote it to destroy Sherwood Anderson and various others. It's first really adult thing have done. Jesus Christ it is funny. It is a regular novel only it shows up all the fakes of Anderson Gertrude Stein Sinclair Lewis Willa Cather Hergo Joseph Hergesheimer and all the rest of the pretentious faking bastards. I don't see how Sherwood will ever be able to write again" Mellow Hemingway. Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover books
