Ernest Hemingway
About This Collection
First editions, early printings, and signed books by Ernest Hemingway, including highlights such as a signed 1929 limited edition of A Farewell to Arms, a first edition of The Torrents of Spring, as well as first editions of The Sun Also Rises and The Old Man and the Sea.
Hemingway remains a giant of 20th-century American fiction and American modernist literature, celebrated for his succinct prose. As a leading figure in American expatriate literature and among the writers of the Lost Generation, Hemingway's life was as captivating as his writings, steeped in adventures that ranged from the battlefields of Europe to the cafés of Paris.
