Sobre este artículo
Scribner's NY. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1929. First Edition; Sixth Printing. First edition,6th printing, Nov. , 1929. 1st was Sept. , 1929. Very good, hardcover book with nice gold paper labels and black cloth binding. Minor bumping to corners. Former owner name in period ink on front fly. Heavy tone/ghost imprint to front and rear endpapers where it looks like bookmarks were laid inside for extended periods of time. Original Jacket is very early but not the first state as it has no Kathryn Barclay reference however the art and $2.50 price are the same as first issue. DJ is about good, jagged chipping at edges, more so to spine ends and joining upper left front panel, some closed tears to edges and overall age tone. Fairly scarce in dust jacket. * (This book is in our possession. We ship most books six days a week and will confirm with tracking number for domestic orders or customs number for international) * .
Sinopsis
Set during World War 1, Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms is the story of Lieutenant Frederic Henry, an American serving as an ambulance driver in the Italian army, and his love affair with an English nurse named Catherine Barkley. The novel is semi-autobiographical, based on Hemingway's own experiences serving in the Italian campaigns during the war. While some assume the title of the work to be taken from a poem by 16th century English dramatist George Peele, others believe it to be a simple pun of the word “arms.” A Farewell to Arms was first serialized in the May-October issues Scribner's Magazine 1929. It was published in book form in September of that year. As the work became available to the public just over ten years after the November 1918 armistice, Hemingway assumed his audience would recognize many of the references. In fact, certain basic information isn't alluded to in the book at all, as it was common knowledge around the time of publication. The result of this immediacy? Arguably one of the best novels written about World War I… ever. A Farewell to Arms was Hemingway's first bestseller, affording him financial independence and cementing his stature as a modern American writer. More specifically, the novel and its content helped to established the author as a key member of the “Lost Generation,” a subset of Modernist artists namely defined by their post-war disillusionment. A Farewell to Arms is ranked 74th on Modern Library’s “100 Best” English-language novels of the 20th century.
