HEMINGWAY, Ernest (1899-1961). A Farewell to Arms. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1929.
A superb presentation copy of the first edition of one of Hemingway's greatest novels, inscribed: "To Ludwig Lewisohn with all best wishes Ernest Hemingway Paris 1929." A Farewell to Arms was met with great acclaim and propelled Hemingway from "mere fame into living legend" (Lynn 391) – Dorothy Parker would famously profile him in The New Yorker the same year, deeming him "One of the greatest contemporary writers of the day," before adding blithely: "Is in his early thirties, weighs about 200 pounds and is even better than those photographs." Novelist, critic, and professor Ludwig Lewisohn (1882-1955) was Berlin-born and a prominent Zionist, the author of several autobiographies and books on Judaism. He met Hemingway, however, in Paris in the 1920s following the publication of The Case of Mr Crump, his thinly-veiled 1926 novel about a young man trapped in a loveless marriage with an evil, vengeful woman. Lewisohn published a chapter of A Farewell to Arms in the 1933 issue of Creative America. Hanneman A8a.
Octavo (190 x 128mm). Original smooth black cloth, gold paper labels (hinges cracked), dust jacket; in a custom quarter-morocco slipcase. Provenance: Ludwig Lewisohn (1882-1955, author; inscription) – Richard Manney (his sale, Sotheby's New York, 11 October 1991, lot 172).
