1926119154New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons 1926. First edition of Hemingway's first novel one of 1250 printed. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a good dust jacket with chipping to the spine extremities and front panel. 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.

06441New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1933. First Edition of Hemingway's Third Collection of Stories<br /> A Near Fine Copy in a Near Fine Dust Jacket<br /> <br /> HEMINGWAY Ernest. Winner Take Nothing. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1933.<br /> <br /> First edition first printing with the Scribner's "A" and the Scribner's Seal on the copyright page first print run of 20300 copies. <br /> <br /> Octavo 7 5/16 x 5 1/16 inches; 187 x 130 mm. 2 blank 8 244 2 blank pp.<br /> <br /> Original black cloth front cover and spine with gold paper labels printed in black. Top edge stained red. An exceptionally well-preserved copy the labels entirely intact and unworn. In the original color pictorial dust jacket printed in black white and red with the price $2.00 on the front flap. Jacket with only the barest trace of rubbing at extremities confined to approximately 1/16 inch at the foot of the spine and notably entirely unfaded on the spine a condition point of particular importance for this title. Altogether a near fine copy in a near fine jacket - rarely encountered in such fresh and unrestored state.<br /> <br /> A significant early collection comprising fourteen short stories written during one of the most introspective and experimental periods of Hemingway's career. Several of the pieces rank among his most powerful shorter works including "A Natural History of the Dead" a stark meditation on the realities of war; "Fathers and Sons" which revisits themes of memory and inheritance central to the Nick Adams cycle; and "A Day's Wait" one of his most anthologized stories.<br /> <br /> Published between Death in the Afternoon 1932 and Green Hills of Africa 1935 Winner Take Nothing reflects a darker more reflective phase in Hemingway's writing marked by psychological depth and a departure from the more overtly heroic tone of his earlier work. Though initially less celebrated than some of his major novels the collection has since come to be regarded as one of his most subtle and revealing books.<br /> <br /> Hanneman A12a.

Overall a wonderful kaleidoscopic archive that captures the final years of Hemingway. Housed in a custom maroon clamshell box with spine lettered in gilt. In this small archive of telegrams Ernest Hemingway writes to his rich American expatriate friend Nathan William Bill Davis and friend and editor A. E. Hotchner. In the summer of 1959 Ernest and Mary Hemingway stayed at Bill and Annie Davis home La Consula in Málaga while Ernest gathered materials for a Life magazine piece on a bullfighting rivalry between two brothers Luis Miguel Dominguín and Antonio Ordóñez. Eventually the piece ballooned to more than 100000 words and Hemingway enlisted the help of A. E. Hotchner to pare it down. Titled The Dangerous Summer the piece was released in Life in three installments in 1960. It was published posthumously in book form in 1985 and is considered to be Hemingways last major work. In these telegrams among other things Hemingway writes to Davis about the bullfights and the prospect of returning to Málaga in the summer of 1960 and to Hotchner about edits to The Dangerous Summer..

Its spare restrained style became a hallmark of his work. Nowhere is this more evident than in the ending which he rewrote 47 times before settling on a version that simply reports what happened without commentary or consolation. That decision marked a break from the narrative conventions of the 19th century and helped define the tone of modernist fiction. The novel remains one of the most influential works of the twentieth century appearing on the Modern Library's list of the 100 best English-language novels Time Magazine's All-Time 100 Novels and The Guardian's "1000 Novels Everyone Must Read."</p><p>Inventory ID: 391 - 143 - 768</p> Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover
