19625531<p><strong>First translation of the novel into Russian. Extremely rare. Not in Libman. </strong>These books were not intended for distribution in bookstores or libraries.</p><p>Ernest Hemingway was in favor with Russian authorities until this novel appeared in 1940. The novel was banned because some prototypes of the characters were executed in Russia and another reason was the Spanish Communist leader Dolores Ibárruri. She never appreciated this novel and was living in Moscow at that time.<br />The first translation of the novel into Russian was finalized in 1941 yet it faced a ban. Hemingway sought the assistance of his Russian acquaintance the poet Konstantin Simonov to explore the possibility of revising the text or omitting certain elements to facilitate its publication in Russian. Unfortunately these efforts did not yield success. However Simonov later revised the translation for the first official Russian edition of the novel composing the foreword. This translation was eventually published in 1968 as volume 3 of Hemingway's '<em>Collection of Works'</em> albeit with some content subjected to censorship.<br />This particular edition represents the unabridged translation free from any omissions and were released as part of a specialized series intended for Soviet authorities. Distributed according to a predetermined list each book in the series was marked with a unique number on its cover corresponding to the numbers specified in the list. After being read each copy had to be returned. These books were not accessible to the average Soviet citizen; they could not be found in bookstores or libraries.</p><p>We couldn't trace any copy in OCLC or in Russian main libraries.</p> Izdatel’stvo inostrannoj literatury hardcover

1926112442New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons 1926. First edition of Hemingway's first novel one of 1250 printed. Octavo original cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light wear to the crown. An exceptional example. 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.

19261300First Edition/First Printing with the original first issue dust jacket with 9 titles on the back panel the Scribner's seal on the copyright page and $1.50 flap price. Near Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. Housed in a beautiful custom clamshell box. A stunning copy of Hemingway's first novel published in the same year as "The Sun Also Rises"; this novella length work originated as a satire of Sherwood Anderson's "Dark Laughter" which Hemingway thought was sub par; Hemingway's original publisher Boni & Liveright rejected Torrents most likely because the book parodied it's most popular author; F. Scott Fitzgerald was instrumental in getting Max Perkins at Scribner's to take on Hemingway and thought Torrents was a masterpiece he and Hemingway were good friends at the time. Scribner's agreed to publish the novel along with future works; only 1250 copies of the book were originally published. This near fine copy is square and tight with only some light soiling to both top corners and the bottom of the front board a minor crimp to the bottom spine end a few pinpoint spots to the boards and some minor spotting to the paste downs free papers and the first dozen or so pages; the rear free end paper has a vertical crease that appears to be a printing error. Housed in a near fine dust jacket that is clean and exceptionally bright with none of the usual foxing and fading normally seen with this title. LIght soiling is present to panels and some light rubbing to the ends and edges else fine. Some indiscernible professional repair has been performed to a small area of both top and bottom edges and the top spine end. Overall a pristine copy of this very difficult to find book that should be on any Hemingway collector's bucket list; protected in a mylar cover. Scribner's hardcover

Presentation copy signed by Hemingway on front free endpaper with "Hemingway" in Hemingway's hand; the first part of the inscription "7/28 - 1928" / From Ernest" is in another hand likely the recipient Hemingway's cousin Ruth White Lowry whose ownership inscription tops the same page. Blue cloth-backed patterned cream boards printed in blue and green; lacking the original dust jacket. About very good with light rubbing to front spine joint titles on spine almost completely faded some light staining to upper edges of boards with some pages mildly affected toning to edges and corners rubbed to boards. Overall an excellent association copy. From the personal library of Hemingway's cousin Ruth White Lowry. bib Poems is T. S. Eliot's second volume of poetry published three years after his debut volume Prufrock and Other Observations 1917. Poems contains new work such as "Gerontion" "The Hippopotamus" "Whispers of Immortality" and "Sweeney Among the Nightingales" as well as poems from Prufrock including "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" "Portrait of a Lady" and "La Figlia Che Pianga." T. S. Eliot 1888 - 1965 is recognized as perhaps the greatest modernist poet whose groundbreaking works "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" The Waste Land 1922 and Four Quartets 1936 - 1942 had a seismic impact on the literary landscape. Eliot was also extremely influential as a literary critic having changed the lens through which poetry was viewed and understood with essays like "Tradition and the Individual Talent" 1919. In 1948 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Ernest Hemingway never met T. S. Eliot yet he returned to the poet continually throughout his career both to mock and draw literary inspiration from him. Both writers were "discovered" and mentored by Ezra Pound who had a remarkably discerning eye for literary greatness Pound also helped nurture the talents of James Joyce Robert Frost and H.D. In 1922 Pound brought Eliot's The Waste Land to Hemingway's attention and provided him with special insight into the poem's autobiographical foundations. While Hemingway respected Eliot's ability as a poet he often disparaged Eliot as a person mocking him for his effete character. His ambivalent feelings toward Eliot can be summed in a line from a 1950 letter he wrote to his friend Harvey Breit "Eliot's a damned good poet and a fair critic; but he can kiss my ass as a man and he never hit a ball out of the infield in his life." the latter remark was a reference to Yogi Berra who like Eliot was from St. Louis. It has been theorized that Hemingway's short story "Mr. and Mrs. Elliot" was a jab at T. S. Eliot and his wife deriding their sexual relationship. In the essay "Ernest Hemingway and T. S. Eliot: A Tangled Relationship" 2012 J. M. Flora explores Hemingway's complex feelings towards Eliot noting thinly veiled critiques that Hemingway made about Eliot in some of his works including Death in the Afternoon 1932 and A Moveable Feast 1964 while pointing out the clear influence of Eliot's poetry particularly The Waste Land 1922 in sections of The Sun Also Rises 1926 Green Hills of Africa 1935 Across the River and Into the Trees 1950 and Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants" 1927. Flora writes "Hemingway became adept at mocking the poet. Regardless he continued to read to ponder and to remember Eliot's poetry and his criticism. Hemingway became Eliot's irreverent disciple." This copy of Poems was dated July 28 1928 by Ruth White Lowry one month after Ernest and Pauline's second child Patrick was born at the Lowry home outside Kansas City. The couple stayed at Ernest's Aunt Arabell's home in Mission Hills leading up to the birth before moving to Ruth's and her husband Malcolm's home because of tension between Ernest and Arabell. Around the time that this copy was dated Hemingway was likely at the Folly Ranch in Sheridan Wyoming working intensely on A Farewell to Arms. . Signed. Second American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.

1964533230New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1964. Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. First edition. Foxing on the foredge and first and last few pages and a little scattered foxing throughout the text thus very good in price-clipped near fine dust jacket. Vignettes inspired by the author's profound nostalgia for the halcyon days of his early career while living in Europe and particularly Paris with his first wife Hadley Richardson. This copy is Signed on the title page by Hadley using her name from her second and final marriage to noted journalist Paul Mowrer: "Hadley R. Mowrer."<br /> <br /> After their divorce when Hemingway left Hadley for Pauline Pfeiffer Hadley assiduously avoided connections to her past with Hemingway. This is a profoundly nostalgic object indicative of Hemingway’s heyday. We originally purchased this copy in the 1980s from the person who convinced Hadley to sign the book sold it into a distinguished private collection and have just recently reacquired it. We've never seen another copy of this book signed by Hadley either before or since and think it is likely unique. Further detailed provenance on request. Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover

Based on Hemingway's own experiences in Spain in the 1920s visiting there with his wife and friends and watching bullfighting it is without question one of the great American novels. Perhaps the most important to depict the Lost Generation the novel was an immense success - college students began to emulate the dress and manner of the characters and Hemingway was made a household name. Interestingly enough the first printing of the novel was only around 5000 copies but this and a second printing of a few thousand copies quickly sold out.

In The Sun Also Rises the post-war disillusion and the post-war liberation are united in the physical enjoyment of living and the pains of love. Perhaps that is what expatriation was about. .
