Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, ?A Farewell to Arms? is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield, this gripping, semi-autobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. Hemingway famously rewrote the ending to "A Farewell to Arms" thirty-nine times to get the words right.Mary Lou Firle, a second year student at CCNY, was in Cuba in early 1955. Before she left she bet her future husband that she would have Ernest Hemingway sign the book she had, ?A Farewell to Arms.? In Cuba, she picked up the phone and called Ernest Hemingway. When he answered she introduced herself and added, ?I have a friend at Fordham University.? Hemingway immediately assumed the friend was Prof. Bob Brown who had been in touch with Hemingway on several occasions. Brown was writing a book or articles about Hemingway. Hemingway told Mary Lou that his wife Mary was away and he had to entertain visitors from the French Embassy that afternoon. He asked her if she would come to his home and help him. Mary Lou agreed and Hemingway sent his driver to pick her up.After the meeting the group drove her back to Havana. Hemingway invited her back the next day for lunch and sent his driver to pick her up. They spent the afternoon talking. She had told him of her family background, that her parents were born in Germany. Since she had been at Veradero Beach for a week she had a deep tan, and Hemingway called her the ?Black Kraut.? The reason for the nickname, Hemingway said, was that he called his good friend, Marlene Dietrich, the famous German actress, ?Kraut?; so Mary Lou, who was very tan, would be the ?Black Kraut.? Later that day Hemingway?s driver drove her back to Havana. The two exchanged letters in July and October 1955.Mary Lou?s copy of ?A Farewell to Arms?, publisher Scribner?s, 1953 publication date, inscribed and signed ?To Mary Lou Firle, with all best wishes, and much affection from her friend, Ernest Hemingway. Finca Vigia, San Francisco de Paula, 3 February 1955.?This book has been in Mary Lou?s family?s possession since it was received, and we acquired it direct from them. Mary Lou had promised Hemingway that she would not sell the book during her lifetime and kept her promise. She told her family it would be ok to sell it after she passed.

First edition, first printing, in the attractively preserved dust jacket designed by Cleonike Damianakes (1895-1979), renowned for her classical-style cover art for Lost Generation writers. The first printing is without the legal disclaimer which appeared in the second and third printings on p. x. Based on Hemingway's experiences as an ambulance driver at the Italian Front during the First World War, it was written at the peak of his success and met with wide acclaim. The critic James Aswell offered particularly lavish praise: "I have finished A Farewell to Arms, and am still a little breathless, as people often are after a major event in their lives. If before I die I have three more literary experiences as sharp and exciting and terrible as the one I have just been through, I shall know it has been a good world" (cited in Bloom, p. 5).

Housed in later, some mild rubbing and toning to slipcase. "#529" written on spine of slipcase. Light rubbing to spine and corners of boards, light soiling to boards. Bookplate to front pastedown.

Shelved in Case 3. The only signed, limited edition of any of Hemingway's works. Derived in part on Hemingway's experiences in Italy during World War I, the character of Catherine Barkley was based on a nurse who cared for him when he was wounded serving as an ambulance driver at the front. They had planned to marry, but she ultimately rejected his proposal when he returned to the United States. While not as strictly autobiographical as The Sun Also Rises, Farewell to Arms continued Hemingway's practice of blending real, lived experience with fiction: a significant inspiration for the novel was a collection of wartime correspondence between a friend (Frederic Agate) and his wife.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hemingway, Ernest. A Farewell to Arms. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1929. First trade edition, first issue. In the original first-state dust jacket and publisher s black cloth boards. Presented in a new archival ¼ leather and cloth clamshell case, with raised bands, gilt tooling, and titles to the spine. Presented is a first trade edition, first issue of Ernest Hemingway s A Farewell to Arms. The book was published by Charles Scribner s Sons in New York, in September of 1929. This first printing is presented with its original first issue dust jacket. The dust jacket, as designed by Cleonike Damianakes Wilkins, is considered by many to be one of the greatest of the 20th century and rivals even The Great Gatsby in its collectibility. Set during World War I, A Farewell to Arms tells the story of a young American Lieutenant serving as an ambulance driver in Italy struggling through love and war. The story is told through first person narration detailing many aspects of war that would have been very familiar to readers at the time, as the book was published only 11 years after the 1918 armistice. The simple, direct tone his character uses when giving his unromanticized account of the war later defined Hemingway s writing style. A Farewell to Arms is loosely based on Hemingway s own experiences. The author briefly served overseas as an ambulance driver in the Italian Army, sustained injuries, and met a nurse who he eventually proposed marriage to but was declined. The novel s post-war disillusionist subject assigned Hemingway to the Lost Generation of Modernist artists. A Farewell to Arms was Hemingway s most successful publishing venture to date. Charles Scribner's Sons issued seven impressions of the novel in the short time between September and December of 1929, with over 100,000 volumes sold. The novel secured Hemingway s place as a popular American author and became his first bestselling book. Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American author and journalist. His distinctive writing style, characterized by economy of words and dry understatement, strongly influenced 20th-century fiction, as did his life of adventure and his public image. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Hemingway published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works during his lifetime; a further three novels, four collections of short stories, and three non-fiction works were published posthumously. Many of his works are now considered classics of American literature. The book s striking dust jacket design was illustrated by the artist Cleonike Damianakes Wilkins, who worked under the pen name of Cleon. Wilkins was known for her distinctive fusion of Art Deco and Hellenistic styles. She designed the dust jackets for Hemingway s earlier The Sun Also Rises in 1926 and his later publication In Our Time in 1930, as well as Conrad Aiken s Great Circle, F. Scott Fitzgerald s All the Sad Young Men,and Zelda Fitzgerald s Save Me the Waltz. Wilkins was chosen by Hemingway s celebrated editor at Scribner s, Maxwell Perkins. In order to differentiate Hemingway s tale from other, competing WWI novels on the bookshop shelves, Perkins sought to widen its appeal through the dust jacket. The resulting design was Wilkins interpretation of Sandro Botticelli s epic oil painting Venus and Mars, and the triumph of love over war. Her classical figures appealed to a female audience and allayed the more shocking elements and language in Hemingway s blunt story of war. CONDITION: Very good condition overall. 8vo. Original first issue dust jacket with Katharine Barclay misspelled for Catherine Barkley on front flap. Dust jacket is price-clipped. Small repairs to top of front panel and spine of dust jacket. Creases at top and bottom. Publisher s black cloth boards with gilt printed labels to upper cover and spine. Interior pages very healthy,
