1928002087Brentano's 1928. Soft cover. Very Good. Orange and white covers 8-7/8" tall 64 pp. Light wear and discoloration but generally a nice copy. Includes a fantastic article by Earl Derr Biggers who comments on the increasing brutality of the murder mystery genre but the real monetary value for this issue lies in Malcolm Cowley's article "The Hemingway Legend." "This is the first real pen-picture of Ernest Hemingway that has ever appeared in print. Mr. Hemingway does not give interviews. He does not talk for the press and he is about the hardest man to get hold of in all of Europe." With a portrait by Waldo Pierce. Malcolm Cowley may be partly responsible for Hemingway's rise to fame; well maybe not but he was certainly a critical proponent of the Hemingway "legend" -- the machismo the fantastic stories of his life and adventures etc. and this early article about Hemingway includes the tale of Hemingway attending a boxing match as a reporter and getting so mad at the victorious boxer that he climbed into the ring and knocked him out with one punch. A lovely critical biographical and mythological article spanning pp. 25-29. Brentano's paperback

Very good with toning to spine and board edges heavy dimming to spine gilt some very light scratches to rear board small House of Books ticket Captain Cohn's bookshop to rear pastedown. Overall a uniquely inscribed copy with exceptional provenance. From the personal library of Hemingway's cousin Ruth White Lowry. This book is a collection of correspondence between the great Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw 1856 - 1950 and leading English actress Ellen Terry 1847 - 1928. In 1892 Ellen reached out to Shaw then a 36-year-old music critic to get his opinion on the career prospects of a musical protégé of hers. This began a roughly 30-year correspondence between the two which was marked by flirtation genuine affection and Shaw's repeated attempts to lure Ellen away from Henry Irving's productions at Lyceum Theatre to star in theatrical productions of his own work. With praise from its New York Times review: "It represents the very flower of the minds and hearts-the select harvest of sentiment and wit-of two of the most remarkable personages of our generation." Captain Louis Henry Cohn 1889- 1953 born in Brooklyn New York earned his military rank by fighting in the French Army during World War I. In 1930 Cohn wrote a letter to Hemingway asking him for permission to compile a bibliography of his works. Hemingway begrudgingly agreed and in 1931 the book A Bibliography of the Works of Ernest Hemingway was published: in a note from Hemingway to Cohn which was later included as the frontispiece of the bibliography Hemingway wrote "I think it all balls to publish bibliographies of living writers". Later Cohn and his wife Marguerite opened House of Books a successful bookshop specializing in modern first editions. Under the House of Books imprint Cohn published an edition of Hemingway's short story "God Rest You Merry Gentlemen" 1933 limited to 300 numbered copies and a facsimile of Hemingway's "Bastard Note"-a legal disclaimer page included in the second printing of A Farewell to Arms with a humorous note to the printer in Hemingway's hand-limited to 93 numbered copies.

198428803<p>A Fine copy in a Very Good plus price-clipped dust jacket with light wear at the spine. Fuentes traces Hemingway's life in Cuba and the same settings in which Harry Morgan of Having and Not Having Santiago of The Old Man and the Sea and Thomas Hudson of Islands in the Gulf acted. Here is the unpublished correspondence the aggressive annotations on books and magazines the war objects and trophies that Hemingway accumulated for twenty-two years and the memories that remain in the memory of fishermen smugglers and veteran fighters of anti-submarine operations. Characters and settings that were previously known as fiction and that have now emerged into reality at the hands of Norberto Fuentes with his unmistakable narrative pulse and his meticulous almost obsessive investigation. In the words of another Nobel Prize winner the prologue Gabriel García Márquez: "The end result is this fierce and clarifying report that brings us back to the living and slightly childish Hemingway that many of us thought we could only glimpse between the lines of his master stories." </p> Lyle Stuart, hardcover

This second volume in Reynolds' five volume Hemingway biography focuses on the writer's journeyman period in Paris where he honed his writing craft through his interactions with the other expatriates the French milieu and the literary and cultural history of Europe. Reynolds exhaustively chronicles the particular literary influences on Hemingway oftentimes even recounting the reading lists that the writer received from particular individuals. "Reading The Wasteland with Ezra Pound at one's elbow is no bad way to pick up a thing or two" he dryly observes at one point.

Reynolds not only uses his extensive source material with a critical eye but provides a wealth of information about the social political and literary backgrounds of a time and place that were in many ways the dawn of the 20th century's intellectual tradition.</p> Blackwell Publishing, hardcover
