Original Wraps. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 12mo. Black lettered blue jacket over beige wraps, enclosed in green cloth slipcase. Hemingway's first book. Although Bill Bird's Three Mountains Press' In Our Time was contracted earlier, Robert McAlmon's Contact Editions book was published and released first. Limited to 300 copies only. This copy inscribed by Hemingway on the front endpaper "This book is the property of James Cowan--he is not responsible for it--nor did he buy it. It was presented to him by the author--Ernest Hemingway" Cowan was a fellow reporter for the Toronto Star newspaper, for which Hemingway also worked. Included also is a sheaf of correspondence between former owners and James Cowan attesting to it's history and authenticity. Also included a dealer's catalogue in which this book was listed for sale back in late thirties or forties. This copy wrapped in glassine which is contemporary but not original. Wear and a few tears to the extremities but a particularly fine example of a fragile book, otherwise a very good copy. A great Toronto copy of an essential item in the Hemingway canon. Inscribed by Author(s). Book.

First edition, sole printing, one of 300 copies of Hemingway's first book; a fragile rarity in stunning condition. "No other writer. stepped so suddenly into fame, or destroyed with such insouciance so many other writers or ways of writing or became such an immediate symbol of an age" (Connolly). Three Stories & Ten Poems was printed in Dijon by Maurice Darantiere, who printed Ulysses the year before, and was published by Robert McAlmon's firm. The work marks the first appearance in print of the three stories "Up in Michigan", "Out of Season", and "My Old Man", as well as the four poems "Oklahoma", "Captives", "Montparnasse", and "Along With Youth". The remaining six poems were first printed in the January 1923 issue of Poetry magazine, under the general title "Wanderings". The edition contains some of the earliest surviving writings by Hemingway, whose first wife Hadley Richardson lost a suitcase stuffed with his manuscripts in 1922. "No less concerned about this first publication than he was about his first child" (Mellow, p. 239), Hemingway was directly involved in the book's production and liaised with Gertrude Stein on the typographical cover design. Edmund Wilson's prescient review of the young Hemingway followed his second book, In Our Time (1924): "His prose is of the first distinction, [demonstrating] a naiveté of language often passing into the colloquialism of the character dealt with, which serves actually to convey profound emotions and complex states of mind. It is a distinctively American development in prose. [Hemingway] is rather strikingly original." Connolly 49; GRISSOM A.1.1.a; HANNEMAN A1a. James R. Mellow, Hemingway: A Life Without Consequences, 1992; Edmund Wilson, writing in The Dial, October 1924. Octavo. Original blue-grey wrappers, covers lettered in black, edges uncut. Housed in a custom blue cloth folding box. Light creasing and a couple of nicks, else fresh. A fine copy.

Condition: Fine. First edition. Stunning copy of Hemingway's legendary first published book, and among the rarest of his first editions. The typography and design of Hemingway's first book reflected the new Modernist style for which Hemingway would become known: spare, balanced, striking. In this as in his prose, Hemingway was influenced by Gertrude Stein, who advised a careful pick of typeface for the titles listed on the front wrapper, "good and black, but not squatty like the others" (quoted in Grissom, 26). 3STP was issued by Robert McAlmon's formative Modernist press, Contact, one of the original loci of the burgeoning movement. McAlmon also brought out numerous other classic expatriate texts, including Stein's epic monument THE MAKING OF THE AMERICANS, William Carlos Williams's SPRING AND ALL, Gertrude Beasley's cult feminist memoir MY FIRST THIRTY YEARS, Bryher's pioneering autobiographical lesbian novel TWO SELVES, and H.D.'s PALIMPSEST though it was this Hemingway book that would ultimately become the most famous of all its publications. Poorly constructed and issued in an edition of only 300 copies, 3STP has become one of the most sought rarities of the 20th century and a cornerstone for any collection that documents the rise of Modernism. This copy is among the very best we've seen. 7'' x 4.75''. Original blue printed wrappers, uncut and partially unopened. [8], 58, [2] pages. Housed in custom blue cloth slipcase and chemise. Slight lean, with a couple small creases and minimal wear to spine. Else clean, fresh, and beautifully intact.

It was originally set to be Hemingway's sophomore effort but William Bird at Three Mountains Press dragged his heels in publishing the limited edition of In Our Time, so this came out first. Few examples of Hemingway's early work remain as his suitcase with manuscripts was stolen from a Paris train station in December 1922. Hanneman A1.

He was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature for 'his mastery of the art of narrative . and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style.' His economical and understated style-using what he termed 'the iceberg theory' or 'the theory of omission'-has had a strong influence on twentieth-century fiction. Many of his novels are considered classics of American literature. Writer Richard Ford calls Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Faulkner 'the Three Kings who set the measure for every writer since.'.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - During his first 20 months in Paris, Hemingway filed 88 stories for the Toronto Star newspaper. He covered the Greco-Turkish War, where he witnessed the burning of Smyrna, and wrote travel pieces such as 'Tuna Fishing in Spain' and 'Trout Fishing All Across Europe: Spain Has the Best, Then Germany'. Hemingway was devastated on learning that Hadley had lost a suitcase filled with his manuscripts at the Gare de Lyon as she was traveling to Geneva to meet him in December 1922. The following September, the couple returned to Toronto, where their son John Hadley Nicanor was born on October 10, 1923. During their absence, Hemingway's first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems, was published. Two of the stories it contained were all that remained after the loss of the suitcase, and the third had been written early the previous year in Italy. Within months a second volume, in our time (without capitals), was published. The small volume included six vignettes and a dozen stories Hemingway had written the previous summer during his first visit to Spain, where he discovered the thrill of the corrida. He missed Paris, considered Toronto boring, and wanted to return to the life of a writer, rather than live the life of a journalist.
