About This Item
Intimate portraits of Ernest Hemingway by those who knew him
Published by Grafton Books, London; 1988. 8vo. 356pp. First edition, first impression. Condition: Fine/Fine
Bound in original brown cloth boards with title in gilt to the spine. The binding is square and tight and in excellent condition, with no signs of damage or wear, save a touch of bumping to the corners and spine ends. Inside, the pages are clean and bright, and free from blemishes.
This smart book is housed in its original first issue dust jacket. It is as smart as the book, with just a touch of bumping to the corners and spine. There are no other signs of wear or damage, and it is as vibrant and smart as when the book was published.
In all, this is a lovely example of this interesting biography on Hemingway. In it, the author has reconstructed memories and accounts of Hemingway's family and friends, colleagues, and other biographers, the witnesses to his life. In doing so, it provides unparalleled insight into the man, with each account recalling aspects of his chameleonic personality and attempting to penetrate the fog of myth and outright fiction which has further obscured the real man in the quarter century since his death.
