Sobre este item

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1929. True first printing with Scribner colophon at copyright page with no additional printings stated, and no disclaimer verso dedication page. Smooth, coated black cloth boards, gold cover and spine labels stamped in black ink, moderate shelf, corner wear, rub. Cover and spine title labels bright. Deckled pages very good, no writing; toning at endpapers. Bind fine, square; hinges intact. Presented in facsimile of first state Cleon dust jacket w/Catherine Barkley misspelled as Katharine Barclay; protected in new clear sleeve. Wrapper art and design by Cleonike "Cleon" Damianakes, an illustrator and etcher who designed some of the most iconic jackets of the era. Near very good true first edition in fine facsimile wrapper. Ernest Hemingway's third full-length novel following The Torrents of Spring and The Sun Also Rises. Near good true first edition with unique and intriguing provenance preserved in fine facsimile of original wrapper. The story recounts the romance between Frederic Henry, an American soldier, and Catherine Barkley, a British nurse. Heavily autobiographical, the plot was directly inspired by Hemingway's relationship with Agnes von Kurowsky in Milan. Catherine's parturition (childbirth) was inspired by the intense labor pains of Pauline in the birth of Patrick - Ernest' second wife and second son - and the real-life Kitty Cannell inspired the fictional Helen Ferguson. The priest was based on Don Giuseppe Bianchi, the priest of the 69th and 70th regiments of the Brigata Ancona. 355 pages. Insured post.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.

Sinopse

Set during World War 1, Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms is the story of Lieutenant Frederic Henry, an American serving as an ambulance driver in the Italian army, and his love affair with an English nurse named Catherine Barkley. The novel is semi-autobiographical, based on Hemingway's own experiences serving in the Italian campaigns during the war. While some assume the title of the work to be taken from a poem by 16th century English dramatist George Peele, others believe it to be a simple pun of the word “arms.” A Farewell to Arms was first serialized in the May-October issues Scribner's Magazine 1929. It was published in book form in September of that year. As the work became available to the public just over ten years after the November 1918 armistice, Hemingway assumed his audience would recognize many of the references. In fact, certain basic information isn't alluded to in the book at all, as it was common knowledge around the time of publication. The result of this immediacy? Arguably one of the best novels written about World War I… ever. A Farewell to Arms was Hemingway's first bestseller, affording him financial independence and cementing his stature as a modern American writer. More specifically, the novel and its content helped to established the author as a key member of the “Lost Generation,” a subset of Modernist artists namely defined by their post-war disillusionment. A Farewell to Arms is ranked 74th on Modern Library’s “100 Best” English-language novels of the 20th century.
