Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Sixth Printing. 290 Pages. This new edition of The Sun Also Rises celebrates the art and craft of Hemingway's quintessential story of the Lost Generation presented by the Hemingway family with illuminating supplementary material from the Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Library.… The Sun Also Rises is a classic example of Hemingway's spare but powerful writing style. A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is an absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heartbreaking narrative.a truly gripping story, told in lean, hard, athletic prose. This new Hemingway Library Edition celebrates Hemingway's classic novel with a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, the author's sole surviving son, and a new introduction by Sean Hemingway, grandson of the author. Hemingway considered the extensive rewriting that he did to shape his first novel the most difficult job of his life. Early drafts, deleted passages, and possible titles included in this new edition elucidate how the author achieved his first great literary masterpiece.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. As new condition dark blue boards with a white cloth spine and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; and Prologue. "Frank McCourt's glorious chi…ldhood memoir, Angela's Ashes, has been loved and celebrated by readers everywhere for its spirit, its wit and its profound humanity. it won the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Rarely has a book so swiftly found its place on the literary landscape. And now we have 'Tis, the story of Frank's American journey from impoverished immigrant to brilliant teacher and raconteur. Frank lands in Norw York at age nineteen, in the company of a priest he meets on the boat. He gets a job at the Biltmore Hotel, where he immediately encounters the vivid hierarchies of this "classless country," and then is drafted into the army and is sent to Germany to train dogs and type reports. It is Frank's incomparable voice - hi uncanny humor and his astonishing ear for dialogue - that renders these experiences spellbinding. When Frank returns to America in 1953, he works on the docks, always resisting what everyone tells him, that men and women who have dreamed and toiled for years to get to America should "stick to their own kind" once they arrive. Somehow, Frank knows that he should be getting an education, and though he left school at fourteen, he talks his way into New York University. There, he falls in love with the quintessential Yankee, long-legged and blonde, and tries to live his dream. But it is not until he starts to teach - and to write - that Frank finds his place in the world. The same vulnerable but invincible spirit that captured the hearts of readers in Angela's Ashes comes of age. As Malcolm Jones said in his Newsweek review of Angela's Ashes, "It is only the best storyteller who can so beguile his readers that he leaves them wanting more when he is done . and McCourt proves himself one of the very best." Frank MocCourt's 'Tis is one of the most eagerly awaited books of our time, and it is a masterpiece." - from the inner front jacket flap. Zimmer, Brooke (book design); Fontana, John (jacket design) (illustratore).

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Fine unread condition maroon boards, maroon spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with a black-and-white photographic frontispiece. Signed by…the author, Frank McCourt, with thin black ink on a Palm Beach Literary Society bookplate neatly affixed to the center of the blank first free front endpaper. A small neatly scripted note at the second rear blank endpaper; the volume is otherwise in new condition. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award. Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Award. "When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank's mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank's father, Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy - exasperating, irresponsible and beguiling - does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Frank lives for his father's tales of Cuchulain, who saved Ireland, and of the Angel on the Seventh Step, who brings his mother babies. Perhaps it is story that accounts for Frank's survival. Wearing rags for diapers, begging a pig's head for Christmas dinner and gathering coal from the roadside to light a fire, Frank endures poverty, near starvation and the casual cruelty of relatives and neighbors - yet lives to tell his tale with eloquence, exuberance and remarkable forgiveness. Angela's Ashes, imbued on every page with Frank McCourt's astounding humor and compassion, is a glorious book that bears all the marks of a classic. As Mary Breasted, author of Why Should You Doubt Me Now, said: "Frank McCourt's book is deeply moving, for his searing story is true. No one has ever written about poverty or childhood like this. That Frank McCourt lives to tell the tale is amazing. That he could create out of such squalor and misery a flawless masterpiece is nothing short of miraculous." - from the inner front jacket flap. Zimmer, Brooke (book design); Fontana, John (jacket design); Bauer, Jerry (author photograph); Culver Pictures, Inc. (jacket photograph) (illustratore). Signed by Author(s).

A Room on the Garden Side; b. Indian Country and the White Army; c. The Monument; Acknowledgments; Notes to the Introduction and About the Author. Illustrated with front and rear endpaper Hemingway draft writings. "This is a book, not of three days, but of all time.It is a book about all those things that go on in the world night and day and always; those things that are only heightened and deepened by war.I think that what you do about this book of Ernest Hemingway's is point to it and say, 'Here is a book.' As you would stand below Everest and say, 'Here is a mountain.'" - Dorothy Parker, from the rear outer jacket. "Presented by Hemingway's grandson Sean Hemingway, with a personal foreword by the author's son Patrick Hemingway, this new, enhanced Library Edition of Ernest Hemingway's masterpiece about an American in the Spanish Civil War features early drafts and supplementary material, including three previously uncollected short stories on war by one of history's greatest writers on the subject. In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to emerge from "the good fight" and one of the foremost classics of war literature in history. Published in 1940, For Whom the Bell Tolls tells the story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of a guerilla leader's last stand, in his brilliant travesty of a Communist ideologue and his unwillingness to delegate his conscience to dogma, Hemingway surpasses his achievements in The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving, and wise. "If the function of a writer is to reveal reality," Maxwell Perkins wrote to Hemingway after reading the manuscript, "no one ever so completely performed it." Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author's previous works, For Whom the Bell Tolls tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. When it was first published, the New York Times called it "a tremendous piece of work," and it still stands today as one of the best war novels of all time." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ernest Hemingway did more to influence the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun ALso Rises and A Farewell to ARms immediately established him as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novella The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the NObel Prize in Literature in 1954. He died in 1961.
