1931EH314New York: William Faro Inc. 1931 Illustrated with thirteen plates including a frontispiece. First edition first printing. Signed and inscribed by Ernest Hemingway to his cousin Ruth White Lowry on front free endpaper: "To Ruth. - This little monograph on Mr. Hoover's part in the Nurse Cavell scandal - with sidelights on his "relief" of Belgium - His connection with the sinking of the Lusitania and the abduction of Charley Ross are not made clear. - E. H." Publisher's blue cloth with paper label to spine lettered in black; lacking dust jacket. Very good or better with a few light scratches to front board very light toning to spine and label rubbing to spine label affecting "a" in "Strange" tiny chip to bottom of label text unaffected corners slightly bumped toning to endpapers and some smudging to Hemingway's inscription. Overall a unique inscription showing Hemingway's interest in politics. From the personal library of Hemingway's cousin Ruth White Lowry. The Strange Career of Mr. Hoover Under Two Flags is a survey of Herbert Hoover's pre-presidential career presented in a decidedly unflattering light and filled with accusations of corruption and other misdeeds. The book was one of a handful of smear books about Hoover published before the 1932 election geared toward undoing his reputation as "The Great Humanitarian" and "The Great Engineer." The project began when opportunistic ex-policeman James J. O'Brien approached John Hamill with the idea for the book. After Hamill completed it publisher Samuel Roth who had been jailed three times for dealing in obscene literature agreed to publish it under his William Faro imprint. In 1932 James J. O'Brien sued Hamill over profits from the book and Hamill subsequently repudiated the book and signed an affidavit stating that "while the material gathered for the book contained statements that were true in themselves they were used in such a way as to lead to false conclusions concerning the President" The New York Times January 5 1933. In Hemingway's inscription he mentions the "Nurse Cavell scandal." Edith Cavell was a British nurse who was executed by Germans in German-occupied Belgium for helping Allied soldiers escape. Her execution became a source of outrage for the Allies and was heavily propagandized. In The Strange Career of Mr. Hoover Hamill suggested that Hoover could have saved Nurse Cavell but failed to do so. This was one of the aspects of the book that Hamill later admitted was not true with the above-mentioned New York Times article stating "Hamill swore he learned nothing in Belgium to justify any inference that Miss Cavell's life might have been saved by Mr. Hoover and said he had caused similar false inferences to be drawn from other statements in the book ". The tenor of the inscription in this copy seems to indicate that Hemingway disliked Hoover. Further proof may lie in Hemingway's incendiary "Who Murdered the Vets" essay 1935 about the government's callousness toward the Bonus Army: while directed toward the Roosevelt administration the gross mistreatment of the Bonus Army began under Hoover's leadership.

1931149856New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1931. First edition of this collection of classic psychological realism works. Octavo original publisher's cloth. Association copy lengthily inscribed by Ernest Hemingway to his cousin on the front free endpaper "Dear Ruth In the jacket on this book Mr. Crane looks like Ernest Wahl but that is just the old T. B. Watley look and Mr. Walsh who came later may have seen pictures of Mr. Crane too. Ernest." Hemingway admired Stephen Crane's work and considered him an important influence on his own writing. He specifically praised The Red Badge of Courage in the introduction to his 1942 anthology Men at War: The Best War Stories of All Time where he described it as "one of the finest books of our literature and I include it entire because it is all as much of a piece as a great poem is." The recipient Ruth White Lowry 1884–1974 and her husband William Malcolm Lowry 1884–1953 were longtime residents of Kansas City Missouri and integral members of Ernest Hemingway’s extended Midwestern family. Ruth the daughter of William White and Mary Hall White was a first cousin of Grace Hall Hemingway the author’s mother. This made her Ernest’s first cousin once removed though their families were close enough that Hemingway referred to her simply as “Cousin Ruth.†The White and Hall families had deep Midwestern roots—Ruth was educated in Kansas City and was part of the city’s civic and cultural life throughout the early twentieth century. When Hemingway and his second wife Pauline Pfeiffer returned from Paris to the United States in 1928 they came to Kansas City for the birth of their first child Patrick Hemingway who was delivered at St. Mary’s Hospital on June 28 of that year. The Hemingways stayed with Ruth and Malcolm Lowry at their Kansas City home both before and after the delivery. Pauline returned to the same house three years later in November 1931 for the birth of their second son Gregory Hancock Hemingway while Ernest shuttled between Kansas City and Key West during the final stages of Death in the Afternoon. The Lowrys’ hospitality offered Hemingway a familial refuge far from the expatriate world of Europe and the growing celebrity that attended his literary success. The relationship between the two families endured for decades. Letters and family recollections describe Ruth as a warm maternal presence in Hemingway’s life—a relative he could trust with his young family during periods of upheaval. The Lowry household thus occupies a unique place in Hemingway’s biography: it was the setting for the births of both of his sons with Pauline and the site of rare domestic calm amid his restless movements between continents. Copies inscribed to members of the Lowry family remain among the most significant Hemingway association copies linking the author’s private life in the American Midwest to his public identity as one of the central figures of twentieth-century literature. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Housed in a custom folding chemise and half morocco clamshell box. Stephen Crane’s Maggie: A Girl of the Streets along with “George’s Mother†and “The Blue Hotel†gathers three key examples of his stark naturalistic storytelling. Maggie follows a young woman growing up amid poverty and violence in New York’s Bowery showing how harsh environment and limited choices drive her toward ruin. “George’s Mother†is a tightly focused domestic tragedy in which a mother’s hopes for her son collapse as he succumbs to drink and moral drift. “The Blue Hotel†set on the western frontier traces a chain of misunderstandings and rising tension among strangers that ends in senseless violence. Together the works present Crane’s bleak view of social forces human vulnerability and the fatal consequences of fear and illusion. Alfred A. Knopf hardcover

150055Rare original black and white photograph of legendary American writer Ernest Hemingway. Black and white matte photograph of Hemingway with his wife Mary and fishing guide Taylor Williams in the trophy room of a club or private home after a day on the water. Inscribed by Ernest Hemingway in black ballpoint at the bottom right corner "To Taylor Best always 2nd Prize Marlin 1st Prize Dolphin Papa E. Hemingway." Additionally inscribed by Mary Hemingway in black ballpoint above Ernest Hemingway's inscription "Love to Taylor Mary." This photograph was probably taken in Cuba in the spring of 1953 when Taylor Williams visited Ernest Hemingway to participate in fishing tournaments. A related letter included here documents Hemingway’s invitation to Williams to join him in Cuba and refers to his success in those competitions including a first-place finish for dolphin and second place for marlin. Hemingway’s friendship with Taylor “Beartracks†Williams the well-known Sun Valley hunting and fishing guide dated back to their meeting in Idaho in the late 1930s after which Hemingway frequently returned to Ketchum before eventually settling there. The spring of 1953 also marked a peak moment in Hemingway’s career and personal life: he had recently written The Old Man and the Sea and received the Pulitzer Prize and this period preceded the airplane accidents of 1954 and his later forced departure from Cuba during the Castro regime—events that would profoundly affect his final years and contribute to his death in 1961. In near fine condition. The piece measures 8 inches by 10 inches. Together with two additional glossy photographs of Taylor Williams. The first of Williams holding a fishing rod and fish. The second of Williams and Mary Hemingway standing on a boat proudly holding up a prize swordfish. In near fine to very good condition. The pieces measure 8 inches by 10 inches. Also with a page from a Cuban newspaper El Avance Criollo with an image of Hemingway Mary Williams and a prize fish. In near fine condition with toning and mail folds. Accompanied by a typed letter signed by Mary Hemingway regarding fishing and Papa. One page on Finca Vigia stationery from San Francisco de Paula Cuba dated 27 May 1957 addressed to Williams as "Colonel". The letter reads in full "Dearest Colonel: We finally picked up the photographs at the Floridita two prints of this same picture and I must say it does full justice to your distinguished nose. None of us looks as bad as we might have and that's about all we can expect from photographs these days I guess. You haven't missed anything super in the fishing here. Papa and I have been out four times I think since you left and one day when there was only very patchy current we spotted one in the morning put the bait over him two or three times he fooling around teasing us and Papa finally hooked him and brought him in. That afternoon a little one - 35-40 lbs. took a bait and I got him in with no suffering or nonsense such as I was displaying while you were here. I think the swimming helps ton up the muscles - have done my full half-mile in the pool every day now for a long time. Recently the weather has improved slightly - it waits until afternoon to rain. Otherwise no news - very quiet here and we miss you every single day and the Little House empty looks forlorn and missing you too. Not having your precise address on the Keys I'm sending this to S.V. where you'll have it when you arrive. Dearest Taylor - very much love and affections and good wishes from both of us - Mary. Papa reading in his chair says me too." In fine condition with mail folds. The piece measures 5.75 inches by 7.75 inches. Ernest Hemingway 1899–1961 was one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century whose concise prose style and exploration of universal themes reshaped modern literature. Known for his works such as The Old Man and the Sea A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls Hemingway developed a narrative voice that captured the complexities of human struggle and resilience with stark simplicity. His experiences as a journalist and participant in both World Wars deeply informed his writing lending authenticity to his depictions of courage loss and alienation. While his personal life marked by adventure and tragedy often overshadowed his literary contributions his stylistic innovations and engagement with existential themes solidified his status as a transformative figure in American letters. By pushing the boundaries of narrative form and emphasizing the power of understatement Hemingway left an enduring legacy on both literature and the cultural understanding of the human condition. unknown

19302774np: np 1930. Very Good. THE RISE OF PHOTOJOURNALISM AND MASS-MEDIA HELP MAKE HEMINGWAY ONE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY'S FIRST AMERICAN INFLUENCERS. After graduating from high school in 1917 Ernest Hemingway worked as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star. This job exposed him to the media's growing addiction to sensationalism and taught him the craft of writing clear and succinct prose. Hemingway's journalism experience his interest in boxing and big-game hunting and his military service during and after the First World War enabled him to explore fiction writing about everyday people and to hone his innovative writing style. His adventurous lifestyle and the success of The Sun Also Rises 1926 coincided with the public's growing interest in photojournalism and lifestyle magazines pushing Hemingway into the limelight. By the 1930s Americans craved international recognition of their culture as one that surpassed that of Europe. Hemingway's trajectory from literary celebrity to international icon in the 1940s and 1950s paralleled America's increasing global economic and cultural dominance. <br /> <br /> We have on offer a collection of over 100 original press photos from Wide World Photos acquired by the Associated Press in 1941 that span three decades and chronicle Hemingway's public and private life. Selected highlights include:<br /> -Images of Hemingway's overseas travel as a war correspondent during the Second World War <br /> -Photos of time spent with Gary Cooper Sinclair Lewis Lauren Bacall and Fidel Castro featured in The Atlantic in 1965<br /> -Shots of fishing excursions in Cuba and Peru bullfights in Spain and hunting trips in Africa<br /> -A photo of Hemingway and his fourth wife Mary that accompanied a New York Daily News story breaking the news of a 1954 plane crash in Uganda in which he and Mary were presumed dead <br /> -Pictures on the occasion of his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature<br /> -Portraits of Hemingway that were printed in The New York Times and other leading publications announcing his death in 1961<br /> <br /> Scribner his publishing house promoted Hemingway's daredevil side and attempted to build him up like a Hollywood star by disseminating photos to fan magazines newspapers and gossip columnists. In turn the media courted him and relished in his super-masculine adventures. Though Hemingway showed some ambivalence towards celebrity the paparazzi and the public were fascinated by this bon vivant who was a big game hunter bullfighting enthusiast playboy and avid traveler. Hemingway capitalized on his persona as both a man's man and a literary superstar taking risks in art and life and cheating death numerous times. <br /> <br /> His relationship with the press became more strained in the 1940s and 1950s as he dealt with mental health issues and failed marriages. The media focused on his loud and aggressive behavior in public especially when drunk. His opposition to being portrayed as a caricature of himself and his desire to be respected for his craft led to clashes with journalists. He sought professional accolades and acceptance and feared that the public's fascination with his larger-than-life personality prevented him from being among the literati. The General Editor of the Hemingway Letters Project observed "On the one hand you have a writer who cares very much about his public reception. He's always asking how the sales are going. He loves good reviews. He courts celebrity to some extent. On the other hand he does have this intense desire for privacy." Spanier and Mandel<br /> <br /> The photos in this collection expose a thrill-seeker with a serious side. Underneath the bravado he was a sensitive writer plagued by self-doubt who wrote crisp piercing sentences that told stories about soldiers lovers hunters bravery fear and death. In 1952 his publisher Charles Scribner said "The important element in Hemingway's writings derives from his constant concern to convey powerful psychological states: despair and hope fear and courage anger and resignation.the ultimate goal is the transformation of character." Hemingway's literary ascension was completed when he received the two biggest prizes in literature. The Old Man and the Sea was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953. In October of 1954 he won the Nobel Prize for Literature saying he was "proud and happy." <br /> <br /> During the early part of Hemingway's career the press often romanticized him but as his fame grew so did media scrutiny making him a prisoner of the image he created. Even his funeral which was limited to close family and friends became a media circus. <br /> <br /> While Hemingway's relationship with the press was often turbulent it was also a reflection of his complex personality and the era in which he lived. Hemingway's style forever changed the landscape of literature and this exceptional photo collection offers a glimpse into the life of this literary giant providing a collector with the historical context to better understand his work and his legacy.<br /> <br /> Over 100 silver gelatin prints 113 by our count although with some duplicates the images measuring approximately 8 1/2x6 1/2 inches 21.6x16.5 cm. and slightly smaller and the reverse most with a Wide World Pictures or Associated Press stamp and most with a press clipping or slug on verso.

193095977Chicago: The Walden Book Shop 1930. Rare letter excerpt boldly signed by Ernest Hemingway. Published by the Walden Book Shop in 1930 the introduction begins "The following notes are excerpts from a Hemingway letter in answer to questions concerning editions and numbers of copies." It goes on to provide a long italicized quote from the letter in which Hemingway describes the printings of his early books from Three Stories and Ten Poems through the forthcoming Men Without Women 1927. The quote reads in part: ".The books have been Three Stories and Ten Poems Contact Press 1953-350 copies out of print In Our Times Three Mountains Press 1924 150 I think.They claim to be issuing a new edition. Then Scribners published The Torrents of Spring in the spring of 1926 in an unrestrained edition and The Sun Also Rises came out in the same year with I believe an attempt made to print and sell as many as possible.I own one copy of Three Stories and Ten Poems and would be very happy if it became valuable in order that I might have something to leave to my children." Signed by Hemingway in he lower right corner of the pamphlet. In fine condition. Double matted and framed with a portrait of Hemingway. The entire piece measures 26 inches by 17 inches. An exceptional example. American journalist and novelist Ernest Hemingway's legacy to American literature lies in his economical and understated writing style which he termed the "iceberg theory" and writers who came after him either attempted to emulate or avoid. After his reputation was established with the publication of The Sun Also Rises Hemingway essentially became the spokesperson for the post–World War I generation. His influence on 20th century fiction is unparalleled and his adventurous lifestyle and public image brought him admiration from later generations. Hemingway published seven novels throughout his career and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and the Nobel Prize in literature in 1954. The Walden Book Shop unknown
