“ANY MAN'S LIFE, TOLD TRULY, IS A NOVEL": FIRST EDITION OF ERNEST HEMINGWAY'S DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON
First edition, first issue of Hemingway’s early work on bullfighting with the Scribner's 'A' to the copyright page. Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece by Juan Gris, illustrated with photographs. In near fine condition. With an original 1959 bullfighting flyer from Madrid laid in. Rare and desirable.
Published in 1932, Death in the Afternoon is Hemingway's masterwork on the magnificence of the art of bull-fighting. John Dos Passos praised the book as "an absolute model for how that sort of thing ought to be done," and a contemporary review in The New York Herald Tribune described it as "full of the vigor and forthrightness of the author's personality, his humor, his strong opinions—and language… In short, it is the essence of Hemingway" (Mellow, 415).
