About this Item

First Edition Thus [2008]; First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; a former bookseller's inventory sticker at the lower front panel; the binding leans slighlty; the text pages have perhaps tanned ever so slightly from their original brightness, due to aging; the binding remains perfectly secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. Free of creases to the panels. Free of creases to the backstrip. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome very nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing virtually on wear, but with the faintest cosmetic flaws only. Bright and Clean. Corners sharp. Virtually As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8 x 5.35 x 0.3 inches). xi, 93 pages.Language: English. Weight: 4 ounces. Trade Paperback. Featuring Hemingway's only full-length play, `The Fifth Column and Four Stories of the Spanish Civil War` brilliantly evokes the tumultuous Spain of the 1930s.

About the Author

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.
