1955414395Westport Conn and New York: A.E. Hotchner and Ernest Hemingway and Anne Meyerson Typing & Mimeographing 1955. Softcover. Near Fine. Quarto. P.3 22 1 19 1 4 2 34 1 27. Typed leaves on rectos only bradbound into black leatherette wrappers stamped in gilt with Meyerson's information. The gilt title on the front wrap is covered with a typed label that reads "Ernest Hemingway's 'Love and Death' "; a title label on title page also covers a previous typed title; Ink number "16" on title page near fine.<br /> <br /> A play that includes scenes from The Snows of Kilimanjaro For Whom the Bell Tolls A Farewell to Arms and The Good Lion a fable written in Venice in 1950 which was published in Holiday magazine. It would be difficult to determine the original title stamped on the front wrap and on the title page without damaging the labels although on the front wrap the title begins with "T" and ends with "y." We speculate that this is likely the earliest draft of "The Hemingway Hero" for which scripts exist bearing an earlier title and that the title "The Heroes of Hemingway" is a possibility here.<br /> <br /> Laid-in is a letter from Hotchner to producer and director Fletcher Markle: "Herewith the script of LOVE AND DEATH. I am very enthusiastic about your casting suggestion and I'm sure Hemingway would be. I agree that Welles would add considerably to the overall value." He goes on to state that "I shall do my best to shake loose THE FIFTH COLUMN for I am certain that that and THE UNDEFEATED will go splendidly at 90-minute length." He concludes "My regards to your wife Mercedes McCambridge whose talents as an actress I have always admired." Our thanks to Ira Steingroot for identifying Markle and McCambridge.<br /> <br /> We have no evidence that the play was ever produced theatrically. Hotchner was a close friend of Hemingway's and seems to have created a cottage industry adapting Hemingway's works and television plays of The Snows of Kilimanjaro 1960 The Fifth Column 1960 and For Whom the Bell Tolls 1959 all directed by John Frankenheimer as well as several others all appeared with scripts by Hotchner. Although the title here indicates that this script was prepared for the stage it seems likely that it was later adapted into several "teleplays."<br /> <br /> OCLC locates three copies of The Hemingway Hero all with different pagination.

1940150382New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1940. First edition first printing of Hemingway's third novel a tragic exploration of love duty and the futility of war. Octavo original publisher's tan cloth. With the first printing issue point of Scribner's "A" on the copyright page. Near fine in a near fine first issue dust jacket without the photographer name on the rear panel. Housed in a custom half morocco slipcase. A very sharp example. Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls 1940 represents one of the author’s most complex meditations on war love and moral responsibility. Set during the Spanish Civil War the novel follows Robert Jordan an American volunteer in the International Brigades as he undertakes a mission to destroy a fascist-held bridge. Drawing on Hemingway’s own experiences as a journalist in Spain the novel fuses political engagement with psychological depth exploring the tension between individual conviction and collective duty. Stylistically it embodies Hemingway’s characteristic economy of language—his “iceberg theoryâ€â€”while broadening his earlier focus on personal heroism to encompass a larger ethical inquiry into the nature of sacrifice and solidarity. The novel’s title drawn from John Donne’s Devotions upon Emergent Occasions underscores its universalist theme: the interconnectedness of human suffering and mortality. Through its spare prose shifting perspectives and symbolic use of death and time For Whom the Bell Tolls transforms the brutality of civil conflict into a profound reflection on the cost of idealism and the enduring value of human compassion amid catastrophe.

19366119<p><strong>Rare first Russian book edition. Hemingway's third Russian book.</strong> All Russian editions of Hemingway's works printed before WWII are rare. One of 10 000 copies published.</p><p>The first excerpts from Hemingway's novel <em>'A Farewell to Arms'</em> 1929 appeared in Russian in 1934 published in the magazine <em>'Znamya'</em> No. 4 and translated by Petr Okhrimenko. Two years later this translation was published in its entirety in the same magazine. Around the same time another translation by <strong>Evgeniia Kalashnikova</strong> 1906–1976 emerged: first as a fragment in <em>'Internatsional'naya Literatura'</em> with the note <em>'authorized translation'</em> and later as a standalone book.<br />Kalashnikova was part of the <em>'workshop school'</em> of Ivan Kashkin a literary critic and translator who was <em>'responsible for Hemingway reputation in the USSR'</em>. She along with Nataliia Volzhina later prepared the first Russian translation of <em>'For Whom the Bell Tolls</em>'.<br />The preface to the book was written by literary critic <strong>Sergey Dinamov</strong> 1901–1939 who also headed the Anglo-American section of the State Publishing House and served as Director of the Institute of Red Professors. Dinamov was arrested during the Great Purge in September 1938 and executed.<br />It is important to highlight the significant impact this book had on the Soviet intelligentsia. The prominent literary critic and memoirist Lidiya Ginzburg recalled that Anna Akhmatova urged her to read <em>'A Farewell to Arms'</em> saying <em>'Read this by all means. It's very interesting'</em>. Ginzburg later noted that this novel epitomizes <em>'essentially everything that the writer Hemingway has to say'</em>. For Soviet readers one of the most striking aspects of the novel was how <em>'people talk with each other in bed'</em>. She observed <em>'It turns out that they talk about everything under the sun. <…> These conversations contain Hemingway's conception of the quintessential contemporary Western person</em>' Burak Alexander The "Americanization" of Russian Life and Literature through Translations of Hemingway's Works. 2013.<br />This copy comes from the library of photographers <strong>Vera Petrusova</strong> 1912–1998 and <strong>Georgii Petrusov</strong> 1903–1971. Georgii worked for the renowned magazine '<em>USSR in Construction</em>' where he collaborated with El Lissitzky Alexander Rodchenko Vera Stepanova and Solomon Telingater.
