A very sharp and attractive example of this highspot of American literature among the best fiction to come out of the First World War. A sharp example. Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. 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 desertion this gripping semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right.

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.

1937322094New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1937. First edition first printing. 1 vols. 8vo. Black cloth in dust jacket. Some light chipping to head and tail of spine. First edition first printing. 1 vols. 8vo. Written sporadically between 1935 and 1937 and revised as he traveled back and forth from Spain during the Spanish Civil War To Have and Have Not portrays Key West and Cuba in the 1930s and provides a social commentary on that time and place. Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers describes the novel as heavily influenced by the Marxist ideology Hemingway was exposed to by his support of the Republican faction in the Spanish Civil War while he was writing it. The novel had its origins in two short stories published earlier in periodicals by Hemingway "One Trip Across" and "The Tradesman's Return" which make up the opening chapters and a novella written later which makes up about two-thirds of the book. The narrative is told from multiple viewpoints at different times by different characters and the characters' names are frequently supplied under the chapter headings to indicate who is narrating that chapter.<br /> <br /> Basis for the class 1944 movie with Bogart and Bacall and screenplay by William Faulkner.

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.
