Here is Ernest Hemingway's third full-length novel following The Torrents of Spring and The Sun Also Rises. 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. Printed in the U.S.A. Large 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" design. 330 pages. Insured post.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Limited Edition. Ernest Hemingway (1929) 'A Farewell to Arms', US signed limited edition, published by Charles Scribner's Sons. One of 510 copies of which this is no. 71. Complete with the original paper slipcase. Housed in a beautiful quarter-bound leather chemise case which protects the book nicely on the shelf. Condition: The original slipcase which is very prone to damage shows only some minimal rubbing and wear, but generally a fine example; the vellum spine which usually tends to develop ugly foxing is very nicely preserved in this specimen. It shows only very light toning; the spine label (which is vulnerable to damage) without any wear, small crease to vellum at the foot of the spine, boards with very minor toning from the slipcase as usual.

Inspired by autobiographical events during WW I, Hemingway renders this heartbreaking story (he wrote dozens of different endings before nailing it) in his typical style of short sentences and plain yet captivating language which underpin his iceberg theory. Even without The Old Man and the Sea (1952) Hemingway would have won the Nobel Prize in Literature which was given to him in 1954. First and Fine. Signed by Author(s).
