Signed limited edition of this early Hemingway classic, which established him among the American masters. Tall octavo, original publisher's white vellum over green boards with black morocco spine label lettered in gilt. One of 510 copies signed by Ernest Hemingway, this is number 102. Very good with toning to the spine. Housed in the rare original slipcase which is in good condition with tape repairs. 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 weary, demoralized men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and desertion this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right. Farewell To Arms is the only signed limited edition of Ernest Hemingway's works. It is the basis for the 1932 film bearing the same name directed by Frank Borzage and starring Gary Cooper, Helen Hayes, and Adolphe Menjou.
