1925W2617<p>New York: Albert & Charles Boni 1925. The book is signed by Ernest Hemingway in the upper right corner of the front free endpaper and is in all likelihood from the personal library of Hemingway. Hemingway had worked for Ford on the staff of the Transatlantic Review in 1924 the year before this book was published. It was purchased by Hemingway from the iconic Holliday Bookstore note the label on the rear pastedown endpaper. Provenance: I purchased the book 25 years ago from the estate of a Jacksonville Florida book collector and it has been in my personal collection since then. The book is a second printing in about good condition: there is some waviness of pages--perhaps damaged when Hemingway was "deaccessioning" it from his Key West home when he was at the apogee of his personal feud with Ford. SIGNED. 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.</p> Albert & Charles Boni hardcover
1931EH307Berlin: Ernst Rowohlt Verlag 1931 Translated into German by Annemarie Horschitz. Signed by Hemingway on the front free endpaper: "Ernest Hemingway". Later German edition first published in Germany in 1930. Publisher's light gray cloth with WWI helmet illustration in blue to front board spine ruled in blue and lettered in red blue topstain. Near fine with light toning to spine upper corners slightly bent and minor crack between front flyleaf and title page otherwise sturdy binding. Overall a crisp and clean copy signed by Hemingway. With publisher's promotional material laid in. From the personal library of Hemingway's cousin Ruth White Lowry. Hanneman D89. Set in Italy during World War I A Farewell to Arms tells the story of a romance between the protagonist Frederic Henry an American serving as a lieutenant in the Italian ambulance corps and Catherine Barkley a British nurse tending to wounded soldiers. Widely considered one of the best novels to come out of the war the novel is "the very essence of beauty as twisted and made tragic by war." Unlike many of the other war novels by contemporary writers A Farewell to Arms addresses not only the aftermath of WWI but the events of the war itself specifically the Battle of Caporetto in 1917. The book was Hemingway's first bestseller and established him as a premier American writer. In his 1958 interview with The Paris Review Hemingway famously remarked "I rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms the last page of it thirty-nine times before I was satisfied." The title of the German edition of A Farewell to Arms translates to "In Another Country" taken from Christopher Marlowe's The Jew of Malta quote on p. 6: "Barnardine: Thou hast committed -- Barabas: Fornication: but that was in another country; and besides the wench is dead." In 1933 the book was targeted in Nazi book burnings because of its pacifist message which ran contrary to their attempts to glorify war. The book was also banned in Italy for its depiction of the devastating Battle of Caporetto; it faced censorship in the United States and Ireland for sexual content. . Signed by Author. First Edition.

Throughout the course of his career Steinbeck authored 33 books including 16 novels six works of non-fiction and two collections of short stories most notably Tortilla Flat 1935 and Cannery Row 1945 East of Eden 1952 and Of Mice and Men 1937. Steinbeck and Hemingway did not know each other personally although they had a number of mutual friends. The only known correspondence between them is a letter sent by Steinbeck who in 1939 wrote to Hemingway to express his admiration for Hemingway’s writing technique in “The Butterfly and the Tank.†The letter led to Hemingway and Steinbeck's now-famous singular meeting in 1944 at Tim Costello’s restaurant in New York arranged by mutual friends at Hemingway’s request. Steinbeck married three times. He and his first wife Carol Janella Henning Brown married in January 1930 in Los Angeles and were divorced in 1942. Carole traveled with John when he wrote the Grapes of Wrath In Dubious Battle and Tortilla Flat assisting and supporting him in the writing process. Very good in a very good dust jacket.

Set against the looming horrors of the battlefieldweary demoralized men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and desertionthis gripping semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep.

19606058<p><strong>First or second copy. Unique typescript of the earlier version of the translation.</strong></p><p>The extracts from the novel '<em>For Whom the Bell Tolls'</em> translated into Russian were scheduled to be published in '<em>Znamya'</em>magazine in 1941. However the outbreak of war in June of that year disrupted these plans. Simultaneously Hemingway faced criticism for the novel and was accused of slander by the Spanish communists. It is believed that Josef Stalin personally read the complete translation of the novel and commented 'Interesting. Printing is forbidden'.<br />This original draft and pre-proofreading typescript encompassing the first 18 chapters with the last chapter lacking an ending served as the basis for the two-volume edition published in 1962 without any censorship cuts. This edition was specifically intended for Soviet authorities as part of a special series marking the first Russian translation of the novel.<br />The series of such books was not intended for distribution through bookstores or libraries. These books primarily translations were exclusively sent out based on a special list with the expectation that each copy would be returned after reading.<br />In this series the edition of '<em>For Whom the Bell Tolls'</em> was released without any information about the translator. However this typescript the earlier version of that translation provides the confirmation that the translation was prepared by two prominent female translators Evgeniia Kalashnikova 1906-1976 and Nataliia Volzhina 1903-1981 albeit with a misprint on the title page as M. Volzhina.<br />This typescript is more than just a samizdat underground press copy. This being the first version of the translation is further confirmed when comparing it to Hemingway's original text to first and second Russian editions of the translation.<br />Hemingway became a victim of postwar xenophobia and was only rediscovered by Soviet readers in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. '<em>For Whom the Bell Tolls'</em> was finally published in 1968 as the third volume of <em>Hemingway's 'Collected Works'</em> with certain censorship cuts. It was the third version of this translation. The complete uncensored version of the translation was not available until 2015.</p> hardcover
