4779Hemingway survived two plane crashes in Africa in January 1954. He and his wife Mary Welsh essentially unhurt from the first crash and picked up by a sightseeing boat went down a second time when their rescue plane crashed and burned. Several newspapers reported the Hemingways dead but this false story was soon corrected. Newspapers printed the good news that the internationally renown writer was alive with images of a robust and smiling Hemingway. We offer four of these press photos each with a description attached on aging paper and stamped on verso by the news service. Each is 7"x 9" curled at the edges but otherwise in very good condition. The descriptions attached at the lower edge of each photo are on browned paper brittle at the lower edge where the page remains partially attached to the photograph. The photographs briefly described: <br/>Image 1 Hemingway and Pauline Pfeiffer second wife in Kenya International News Photos 1934. <br/>Image 2 Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn third wife on safari in Africa International News Photos 1940.<br/> Images 3 and 4 Hemingway with American bull fighter Sidney Franklin Kenya International News Photos1937. <br/>Image 5 Hemingway and Mary Welsh his wife at the time of the plane crash "as they arrived in New York in 1950 aboard the Ile de France."

Written in 1939 and finished in 1940 the first edition was published in October of that year with a print run of 75000 copies. The novel was inspired by Hemingway's experiences as a journalist in Spain during its civil war. The plot centers on an American dynamiter who joins forces with an anti-fascist troupe to carry out the detonation of a bridge. What unfolds is a story of bravery deception love and agony. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is certainly one of Ernest Hemingway's greatest novels.
