Housed in a custom clamshell case. Hemingway's first novel, synonymous with the Lost Generation, in which "the post-war disillusion and the post-war liberation are united in the physical enjoyment of living and the pains of love" (Connolly, p.53). The novel portrays a group of English and American expatriates frequenting the cafés of Paris, who travel along the Camino de Santiago to the Fiesta de San Fermín in Pamplona, where they watch the running of the bulls. Basis for Henry King's 1957 film adaptation, starring Tyrone Power and Ava Gardner. Uncommon in dustjacket. Grissom A.6.1b., Hanneman 6A; Connolly 100.
