HEMINGWAY ERNESTABAA

1952121346New York: Charles Scribner's & Sons 1952. First edition early printing of Hemingway's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and one of his most famous works. Octavo original blue cloth. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "For Karen from her friend Ernest Hemingway." The recipient was the daughter of Waldo Peirce one of Hemingway's oldest friends. After WWI had come to an end Peirce befriended Hemingway in Europe and the two traveled together to various continental locations in particular Spain. In 1937 Peirce painted a portrait of Hemingway which appeared on the cover of the October 18th issue of Time Magazine. Peirce was once called "the Ernest Hemingway of American painters." To that he replied "They'll never call Ernest Hemingway the Waldo Peirce of American writers." Laid in is a letter of provenance signed by and in Karen Pierce's hand dated Sept. 6 2007 "When I was 10 years old Ernest Hemingway came to our house in Tucson Arizona to visit my father Waldo Peirce. He signed a book for everyone in the family and I got The Old Man and the Sea. Karen Peirce." Near fine in a near fine first-issue dust jacket with light rubbing newspaper clipping to the half-title page. Photograph of Hemingway by Lee Samuels. An exceptional example. Signed examples of this work are uncommon presentation copies even more so particularly with such noted provenance. Upon its publication in 1952 by Charles Scribner's Sons The Old Man and the Sea was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction the following year and was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Hemingway in 1954. The novel reinvigorated Hemingway's literary reputation. It initiated a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novel was received with such alacrity that it restored many readers' confidence in Hemingway's capability as an author. Indeed the publisher even wrote on an early dust jacket calling the novel a "new classic" and it was compared by many critics to such revered works as William Faulkner's "The Bear" and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.

The Torrents of Spring.

192699358New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1926. First edition of Hemingway's first novel one of 1250 printed. Octavo original cloth. Association copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper to his nephews "To Cliff and Dudley with much affection Ernest." The recipients were Clifford and Dudley Bragdon the nephews of Hadley Richardson Hemingway's first wife. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with some of the usual wear to the extremities. With the signature of the recipient "Clifford R. Bragdon Paris 1927." Housed in a custom clamshell and chemise case. Association copies of Hemingway's first novel seldom appear in the marketplace. 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

In Our Time.

1924125303Printed at the Three Mountains Press and for sale at Shakespeare & Company: Paris 1924. First edition of Hemingway's second published work one of of 170 numbered copies printed on Rives hand-made paper this is number 90. Quarto original tan printed boards with black lettering and publisher's device printed over a collage of red-lettered facsimile newspaper items woodcut frontispiece portrait of Hemingway from a portrait by Henry Strater all edges uncut. In fine condition. Housed in a custom folding cloth chemise and half morocco slipcase with splitting to the chemise. One of Hemingway's rarest books second only to Three Stories and Ten Poems both because of the limited number of copies printed and its fragile nature. A superior example. Ezra Pound had arranged with William Bird the owner of The Three Mountains Press to publish a series of six volumes by contemporary writers under the collective title 'The Inquest into the State of Contemporary English Prose'. Contributors included Pound himself Ford Maddox Ford William Carlos Williams and Ernest Hemingway. For his contribution Hemingway selected the 6 sketches that had already been published in The Little Review in 1924 to which he added a further 12. The resulting publication was titled in our time an ironic reference to the twelfth line of the Episcopalian Evening Prayer: "Give peace in our time O Lord". In our time is certainly one of Hemingway's rarest both because of the limited number of copies printed and its fragile nature. A series of short vignettes the work is a powerful statement on war and includes chapters written during Hemingway's recent visits to Spain and the fictional account of the death of Maera a renowned matador. In his review in The Dial October 1924 Edmund Wilson asserted "I am inclined to think that this little book has more artistic dignity than any other book that has been written by an American about the period of the war" and called it "a harrowing record of the barbarities of the period in which we live". Ezra Pound edited in our time and it was later expanded into the American edition of 1925 in which these 18 chapters appeared interspersed among other classic Hemingway short stories.
