First Edition
First edition, first printing, in the first issue jacket, with the flaps printed in brown and no mention of Hemingway's Pulitzer or Nobel Prize on the rear panel. Hemingway's final work of fiction, The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and was cited by the Nobel Committee in their awarding of Hemingway's Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Previously, much has been made of the colour tint on the rear panel portrait by Lee Samuels. Grissom, however, refutes Hanneman's earlier assertion that the blue tinted photograph on the rear panel predates the olive tint, noting, "the identification of a first-printing jacket does not require identifying ambiguous rear-jacket colours: it is the brown printing on the flaps and rear panel that identify the first-printing Scribner's jacket". Grissom A24.1.a; Hanneman 24a. Octavo. Original light blue calico-grain cloth, spine lettered in silver, author's signature to front cover in blind. With dust jacket. Cloth a little faded, just beginning to fray at spine ends, a couple of tiny faint stains to edges, contents clean; jacket spine and edges lightly toned and sunned, minimal rubbing to extremities, unclipped, front panel bright: a very good copy in near-fine jacket.

A superb, collectible copy of this Hemingway classic. Note: Regarding the "First edition, first printing: the first issue jacket has the flaps printed in brown and no mention of Hemingway's Pulitzer or Nobel Prize on the rear panel. Previously, much has been made of the colour tint on the rear panel portrait by Lee Samuels. Grissom, however, refutes Hanneman's earlier assertion that the blue tinted photograph on the rear panel predates the olive tint, noting, "The identification of a first-printing jacket does not require identifying ambiguous rear-jacket colours: it is the brown printing on the flaps and rear panel that identify the first-printing Scribner's jacket". (Harrington) The New York Times wrote in 1926 of Hemingway's first novel, "No amount of analysis can convey the quality of The Sun Also Rises. It is a truly gripping story, told in a lean, hard, athletic narrative prose that puts more literary English to shame." The Sun Also Rises is written in the spare, tight prose that made Hemingway famous, and, according to James Nagel, "changed the nature of American writing." In 1954, when Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, it was for "his mastery of the art of narrative, most recently demonstrated in The Old Man and the Sea, and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style." Paul Smith writes that Hemingway's first stories, collected as In Our Time, showed he was still experimenting with his writing style. He avoided complicated syntax. About 70 percent of the sentences are simple sentences a childlike syntax without subordination.Henry Louis Gates believes Hemingway's style was fundamentally shaped "in reaction to [his] experience of world war". After World WarI, he and other modernists "lost faith in the central institutions of Western civilization" by reacting against the elaborate style of 19th century writers and by creating a style "in which meaning is established through dialogue, through action, and silences a fiction in which nothing crucial or at least very little is stated explicitly." (Wikipedia) First Edition with matching dates of 1952 and the Scribner's "A" and Seal on the copyright page.

First Edition
First edition of Hemingway's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and one of his most famous works. Octavo, original blue cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Photograph of Hemingway by Lee Samuels. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell slipcase. An exceptional example. Upon its publication in 1952 by Charles Scribner's Sons, The Old Man and the Sea was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction the following year and was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Hemingway in 1954. The novel reinvigorated Hemingway's literary reputation. It initiated a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novel was received with such alacrity, that it restored many readers' confidence in Hemingway's capability as an author. Indeed, the publisher even wrote on an early dust jacket, calling the novel a "new classic," and it was compared by many critics to such revered works as William Faulkner's "The Bear" and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
