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.

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.
