1952121346New York: Charles Scribner's & Sons 1952. First edition early printing of Hemingway's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and one of his most famous works. Octavo original blue cloth. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "For <span class="il">Karen</span> from her friend Ernest Hemingway." The recipient was the daughter of Waldo Peirce one of Hemingway's oldest friends. After WWI had come to an end Peirce befriended Hemingway in Europe and the two traveled together to various continental locations in particular Spain. In 1937 Peirce painted a portrait of Hemingway which appeared on the cover of the October 18th issue of Time Magazine. Peirce was once called "the Ernest Hemingway of American painters." To that he replied "They'll never call Ernest Hemingway the Waldo Peirce of American writers." Laid in is a letter of provenance signed by and in Karen Pierce's hand dated Sept. 6 2007 "When I was 10 years <span class="il">old</span> Ernest Hemingway came to our house in Tucson Arizona to visit my father Waldo Peirce. He signed a book for everyone in the family and I got The <span class="il">Old</span> <span class="il">Man</span> and the <span class="il">Sea</span>. <span class="il">Karen</span> Peirce." Near fine in a near fine first-issue dust jacket with light rubbing newspaper clipping to the half-title page. Photograph of Hemingway by Lee Samuels. An exceptional example. Signed examples of this work are uncommon presentation copies even more so particularly with such noted provenance. Upon its publication in 1952 by Charles Scribner's Sons The Old Man and the Sea was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction the following year and was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Hemingway in 1954. The novel reinvigorated Hemingway's literary reputation. It initiated a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novel was received with such alacrity that it restored many readers' confidence in Hemingway's capability as an author. Indeed the publisher even wrote on an early dust jacket calling the novel a "new classic" and it was compared by many critics to such revered works as William Faulkner's "The Bear" and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.

1952322322New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1952. First edition first issue. ii 140 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Pale blue cloth spine lettered in silver. A near fine copy in a near fine unclipped dust-jacket. First edition first issue. ii 140 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. "Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated." A beautiful copy of what most people consider to be Hemingway's last great work; and certainly one of his most popular. <br/><br/>Hemingway was sure that The Old Man and the Sea would "get rid of the school of criticism that I am through as a writer." John Dos Passos agreed later saying that the phenomenal success of The Old Man and the Sea "was like a magician's stunt." On the bestseller list for half a year the book no only silenced those who had lambasted Across the River and into the Trees but earned its author the Pulitzer Price the Nobel and well over $200000.
