[Modern Literature] FIRST EDITION, first impression. Octavo (19 x 14cm), pp.[10]; 244; [2]. Publisher's black cloth with gilt title panels, top edge tinted red, and the illustrated dust-jacket priced at $2.00. Some overall toning, bookplate to pastedown, top edge a little sunned, jacket with some edge wear, neat tear to rear. A very good copy. A collection of acclaimed short stories. Ernest Hemingway made his literary start as a short-story writer and he always excelled in that medium. This volume reveals him at his best - the characters and backgrounds are widely varied: "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" is about an old Spanish Beggar; "Homage to Switzerland" concerns various conversations at a Swiss railway-station restaurant; and "The Gambler, the Nun, and the Radio" is set in the accident ward of a hospital in Western United States.
