19357651New York: Charles Scribner 1935. 1st. Cloth. Good/Good. An unusual copy of the 1935 1st edition 2nd state without the "A" on the copyright page. From the personal library of noted literary critic Maxwell Geismar who among other things wrote the Introduction to Eldridge Cleaver's "Soul on Ice". Geismar has heavily highlighted this copy --clearly his working copy-- in color pencil and has made several extensive margin notes. A fascinating glimpse into the working methods of a major mid-century American critic. A presentable "starter" copy to boot. The boards are relatively clean the binding solid the dustjacket --in spite of a few chips and some creasing-- is 95% present. <br/><br/> Charles Scribner hardcover books

Hemingway's second work of nonfiction with an initial printing of just 10550 copies. <br/><br/>"Green Hills of Africa" is Hemingway's true life account of a safari he and his wife had gone on two years earlier. The trip would also inspire Hemingway's short story "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." The book not only focuses on Hemingway's adventures hunting and the native environment but also has many of his thoughts on writers fiction and famously "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." ".The best-written story of big-game hunting anywhere I have read. And more than that. It's a book about people in unacknowledged conflict and about the pleasures of travel and the pleasures of drinking and war and peace and writing." Contemporary New York Times review.

19351838New York: Scribner's 1935. First edition. Fine. FIRST EDITION FIRST APPEARANCE of Hemingway's classic account of his 1933 African safari; this Scribner's magazine appearance precedes the first edition in book form. "Green Hills of Africa was written in Key West in 1934 mostly over a period of several months with interruptions for fishing expeditions in the Caribbean and another trip to Cuba. Published in October 25 1935 after serialization in Scribner's magazine it was indeed a book about landscape though Hemingway referred to it in more magical or mystical terms as 'country'. 

<br /> <br /> "It is probably that this communication of the sense of place and the sense of the immediacy and palpability of the experience in that place is what gives the Green Hills of Africa its special distinction.

<br /> <br /> "But even more than country Green Hills of Africa is a book about writing and writers. As a writer he wanted to see 'how far prose can be carried if any one is serious enough and has luck' to see if prose could attain a fourth and even a fifth dimension." Mellow Hemingway: A Life Without Consequences; Baker Hemingway the Writer as Artist.

193514450JNew York: Scribner 1935. First Edition First Printing. Signed presentation copy to Ernest Hemingway’s friend newspaper columnist Walter Winchell. Inscribed: “To Walter Winchell from his friend and admirer. Ernest Hemingway.†Very good with the usual fading to the green cloth but less so than commonly found in a bright very good plus first issue dust jacket. Enclosed in a custom cloth clamshell box. Hemingway thought highly of Winchell in their early days and wrote that “Winchell is the greatest newspaperman that ever lived†and remarked that Winchell was the “only reporter who could last three rounds with the Zeitgeist.†Walter Winchell was at one time one of the most powerful individuals in America with his newspaper column syndicated in hundreds of newspapers and his role as radio commentator helping him to reach millions of people. In the 1940s and 1950s Winchell’s obssession with anti-communist conspiracies and his support of the evil Senator Joseph McCarthy eventually lost him his following. Scribner hardcover books

1935121993New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1935. First edition of Hemingway's second work of nonfiction an account of a month on safari he and his wife took in East Africa during December 1933. Octavo original green cloth decorations by Edward Shenton. Near fine in a bright very good dust jacket. A nice example. Green Hills of Africa was published in 1935 but initially appeared in Scribners Magazine the same year Meyers 1985. The first edition explains that Hemingway "attempted to write an absolutely true book to see whether the shape of a country and the pattern of a month's action can if truly presented compete with a work of the imagination." The author's intentions were quickly confirmed when the first print-run sold a popular 10500 copies and it was aptly praised by The New York Times as "a fine book on death in the African afternoon.The writing is the thing; that way he has of getting down with beautiful precision the exact way things look smell taste feel sound." Not unlike Hemingway's virtuosic abilities Green Hills of Africa also offers the writer's opinions on the value of his contemporaries: "The good American writers are Henry James Stephen Crane and Mark Twain Henry James wanted to make money. He never did of course." Hemingway adds that most American writers are inadequate and "came to a bad end" The value of Green Hills of Africa therefore is three-fold. It serves as masterly written entertainment a successful social experiment that tested the receptivity of the American public and an insight into the author's literary evaluation. The Observer is correct when it wrote "If he were never to write again his name would live as long as the English language for Green Hills of Africa takes its place beside his other works on that small shelf in our libraries which we reserve for the classics."
