Description: HERE ARE 2 BOOKS OF THE LETTERS OF ERNEST HEMINGWAY: #1 ERNEST HEMINGWAY SELECTED LETTERS 1917 - 1961 Edited by Carlos BakerCharles Scribner's Sons, New York, NY, 1981, First PrintingHardcover, very good condition, dust jacket is good, with a bit of damage to lower portion of rear panelThe death of Ernest Hemingway in 1961 ended one of the most original and influential careers in American literature. His works have been translated into every major language, and the Nobel Prize awarded to him in 1954 recognized his impact on contemporary writing.While many people are familiar with the public image of Hemingway and the legendary accounts of his life, few knew him as an intimate. Now, with this collection of letters - the first to be published - a new Hemingway emerges. Ranging from 1917 to 1961, this generous selection of nearly 600 letters is, in effect, both a self-portrait and an autobiography. In his own words, Hemingway candidly reveals himself, to a wide variety of people: family, friends, enemies, editors, translators, and almost all the prominent writers of his day. In so doing he proves to be one of the entertaining letter writers of all time. Ernest Hemingway: Selected Letters is a major literary event - an informal biography in letters, the product of forty-five years' living and writing, which leaves an indelible impression of an extraordinary man.#2 THE LETTERS OF ERNEST HEMINGWAY Volume I 1907 - 1922 Edited by Sandra Spanier and Robert W. TrogdonCambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK, 2011, First PrintingHardcover, very good condition, dust jacket is very goodThis first volume encompasses Ernest Hemingway's youth, his experience in World War I, and his arrival in Paris. The letters reveal a more complex person than Hemingway's tough-guy public persona would suggest, devoted son, affectionate brother, infatuated lover, adoring husband, spirited friend, and disciplined writer.Unguarded and never intended for publication, the letters record experiences that inspired his art, afford insight into his creative process, and express his candid assessment of his own work and that of his contemporaries. The letter's present immediate accounts of events and relationships that profoundly shaped his life and work. A detailed introduction, notes, chronology, illustrations and index are included.***********************************Please see our other listings of books by and about Ernest Hemingway.... we are happy to combine shipping fees!USPS Media Rate postage will be calculated @ 6 pounds weightGRADUATE OF BOOK SEMINARS INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM HOW IT WORKS WITH US:In other words; the fine print!For those buyers who reside outside the U.S.,We are now enrolled in eBay's Global Shipping ProgramWe like to have our auctions completed in a timely manner.If we have not HEARD FROM the high bidder by the FOURTH day after the close of the auction, we will file an UNPAID ITEM DISPUTE with Ebay.PLEASE: Bid Only If You Intend To Complete The Transaction.THANKS for your understanding in these matters.We are proud to let you know that we try to be ecologically responsible, nearly all of our packing materials are recycled or reused.
