A much better than very good indeed First Edition, First State copy in its visually pleasing original dust jacket of one of the celebrated author s most acclaimed novels, called by literary critics everywhere one of the greatest novels of that generation. �A most presentable example of the title with the three points of issue: publisher s seal on the copyright page, Catherine Barkley misspelled Katherine Barclay on the dust jacket front flap, and no disclaimer on page. � A Farewell to Arms�is the basis for two film adaptations. (Actually three, since it was remade by director Michael Curtiz in 1951 as�Force of Arms�with the time period updated. �An unsuccessful attempt starring William Holden and Nancy Olson). �The first film adaptation was the Frank Borzage-directed 1932 version starring Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes; this won the Oscar for Charles Lang s superb cinematography. �The second was the 1957 Charles Vidor-directed version starring Rock Hudson, Jennifer Jones and Vittorio De Sica. Our First Edition, First state copy is a superb addition to a collector s library. Seller Inventory # ABE-1525580089344
