Kittson in Park Ridge, Illinois where one could purchase books, borrow books, find sheet music, and get film developed. Thus, it is a certain sort of ex-library book. The dustcover is worn, venerable, and attractive with professional backing paper applied to the inside; scuffed and tired with uniform color and still 100% present. We ship daily. Out to you w/tracking.

Condition: Near Fine
Description: 230 pages. Contains 16 sections in all; notable for "Four American Impressions" (on Gertrude Stein, Paul Rosenfeld, Ring Lardner and Sinclair Lewis), the essays on George Bellows and Alfred Steiglitz, and the "Notes Out of a Man's Life". Both binding and text block are rock solid, tight, clean, and unmarked, AAA all the way save for the very slightest rubs to spine ends. The jacket has done its job well in protecting the book, but in the process has suffered light edgechipping at fold, but looking quite impressive nevertheless in mylar Brodart. Enough said of offerings which speak loudly for themselves. Acquire, enjoy, and share what the self-actualized author has discovered in his extensive intellectual travels to prepare this very informative writing for public edification. Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item of 230 revealing pages. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a permanent character lacking in transitory electronic renderings.

HEMINGWAY, Ernest (1899-1961). The Torrents of Spring. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1926.
Price: US$724.00 + shipping
Description: First Printing of the author's first novel, published by Scribner's after Boni and Liveright rejected it. 8vo: [8],143,[1]pp. Publisher's finely woven midnight-green cloth (appearing almost black)f, spine and upper cover lettered in scarlet, fore- and bottom edges untrimmed. Wanting the dust jacket. Better than Near Fine (slight lean, fronrtend papers toned, several marginal stains to text) copy of Hemingway's first novel and second book to be published in America, one of only 1250 copies printed. Provenance: circular blindstamp of Ray McRae to front fly-leaf, small bookseller's ticket of Brentano's, Paris, to lower paste-down. Hanneman A4.A. In this slim volume, Hemingway parodied Sherwood Anderson's Dark Laughter (1925), and because Anderson was under contract with Boni and Liveright, that publisher chose not to publish the parody. According to the Literary Encyclopedia, The Torrents of Spring was on one level a declaration of literary independence (Anderson had served as something of a mentor to Hemingway), but many scholars also suspect Hemingway wrote the parody to escape from his three-book contract with Boni and Liveright. If that was the case, the plan worked, and Scribner's became Hemingway's publisher for the rest of his life. Still, some reviewers saw the book as a detour in Hemingway's own career, because Torrents of Spring had little in common with the excellent short stories he had published in his first U.S. book, In Our Time.

Without the scarce dust jacket. Petersen A2.1. Man Working 304. In 1925, Faulkner moved to New Orleans where he joined a literary circle centered on Sherwood Anderson and was introduced to the modernist innovations of T. S. Eliot and James Joyce. His interest in experimental writing was piqued, and he began a novel, his first, Soldiers' Pay, portraying the tragic homecoming of a wounded war hero. Though set in Georgia, it was, nonetheless, a kind of rehearsal for the later Mississippi novels, full of despair and "mythic motifs of impotence and futile love." (Literary Encyclopedia) Andersen recommended the book for publication, without having ever read it. Note: With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, carefully preserved in archival, removable polypropylene sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed. In 1921, Faulkner worked briefly in a New York bookstore, where he met Elizabeth Prall, who later married Sherwood Anderson. That led to an apprenticeship with Anderson when Faulkner moved to New Orleans in 1925. "In a starry literary circle [Faulkner] was inspired to experiment with prose pieces, many of which he published in the New Orleans Picayune and the fledgling literary journal, The Double Dealer. Friends acquainted him with Freud, the mythic world of the anthropologist Sir James Frazer's Golden Bough, and most importantly, the modernist innovations of T. S. Eliot and James Joyce. Faulkner's absorbed interest in experimental writing proceeded apace; building on his brief published pieces in local venues, he began a novel, Soldiers' Pay, which portrayed the tragic homecoming of a fatally wounded war hero. Set in Georgia, it was, nonetheless a kind of rehearsal for the later Mississippi novels. Full of despair and "fisher-king" mythic motifs of impotence and futile love, the novel focussed on the returning veteran, Mahon, who is accompanied by a fellow soldier and a young widow, both met on the homeward bound train. Mahon's heartless flapper fiancé, another woman he has deserted, a jaded, randy intellectual and Mahon's minister father complete a cast that plays out a tragic story of a sterile postwar world in which old loyalties and values seem to mean little. Anderson, who had promised Faulkner he would get the book in print if he didn't have to read it, came through, and the novel was published in 1926." (Literary Encyclopedia) N. B.

Ernest Hemingwayâs first novel and third published book was preceded by Three Stories and Ten Poems and the collection of stories In Our Time. âHemingway was planning a carefully engineered campaign for breaking his contract with Boni and Liveright and maneuvering to place his novel [The Sun Also Rises] with Scribnerâs. The vehicle was⦠[the] satirical novel, The Torrents of Spring, which was clearly calculated to cause problems with his publisher, since it was a deliberate parody of Sherwood Anderson [Boni and Liverightâs best-selling author]. Boni and Liveright had the option on his next three books, one of which had to be a novel. If, however, they turned down the book that Hemingway submitted next, he was free of his obligations to the publisher and could go elsewhere.â Hemingway wrote Ezra Pound that he âhad written âa funny bookâ⦠It was a satire on America, he claimed, âProbably unprintable but funny as hell⦠Wrote it to destroy Sherwood [Anderson] and various others⦠Itâs first really adult thing have done. Jesus Christ it is funny⦠It is a regular novel only it shows up all the fakes of Anderson, Gertrude [Stein], [Sinclair] Lewis, [Willa] Cather, Hergo [Joseph Hergesheimer] and all the rest of the pretentious faking bastards⦠I donât see how Sherwood will ever be able to write againâ (Mellow, Hemingway).

Ernest Hemingway. The Torrents of Spring. Scribner's, 1926.
Price: US$7750.00 + shipping
Condition: Near Fine
Description: First Edition/First Printing with the original first issue dust jacket with 9 titles on the back panel, the Scribner's seal on the copyright page, and $1.50 flap price. Near Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. Housed in a beautiful custom clamshell box. A stunning copy of Hemingway's first novel, published in the same year as "The Sun Also Rises"; this novella length work originated as a satire of Sherwood Anderson's "Dark Laughter", which Hemingway thought was sub par; Hemingway's original publisher Boni & Liveright rejected Torrents most likely because the book parodied it's most popular author; F. Scott Fitzgerald was instrumental in getting Max Perkins at Scribner's to take on Hemingway and thought Torrents was a masterpiece (he and Hemingway were good friends at the time). Scribner's agreed to publish the novel along with future works; only 1250 copies of the book were originally published. This near fine copy is square and tight with only some light soiling to both top corners and the bottom of the front board, a minor crimp to the bottom spine end, a few pinpoint spots to the boards, and some minor spotting to the paste downs, free papers, and the first dozen or so pages; the rear free end paper has a vertical crease that appears to be a printing error. Housed in a near fine dust jacket that is clean and exceptionally bright with none of the usual foxing and fading normally seen with this title. LIght soiling is present to panels and some light rubbing to the ends and edges, else fine. Some indiscernible, professional repair has been performed to a small area of both top and bottom edges and the top spine end. Overall, a pristine copy of this very difficult to find book that should be on any Hemingway collector's bucket list; protected in a mylar cover.
