1939 The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding
An early US edition, published the year after the first edition.
Bound in the publisher's red cloth.
A very smart copy of Ernest Hemingway's anthology, containing forty-nine short stories and his only full-length play, 'The Fifth Column'.
Despite the title focusing on 'The Fifth Column', the play was not extremely well-received at the time of publication, and was ultimately overshadowed by many of the short stories included in the anthology.
Containing 'The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber', 'The Snows of Kilimanjaro', 'The Revolutionist', and more.
Condition
Bound in the publisher's cloth. Externally, excellent, with light bumping to the extremities and slight fading to the spine. Internally, firmly bound, with bright, clean pages. Pencil marks to contents page.
