Details
HEMINGWAY, Ernest (1899-1961). In Our Time. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1931.
A presentation copy, inscribed by Hemingway to his third wife, the war correspondent credited with paving the way for generations of female journalists: "For Martha Gellhorn with admiration and affection (for her works) from her friend Ernest Hemingway." With an additional line added, "P.S. I love you Bougie," one of several nicknames he had for her. Gellhorn (1908-1998) was educated at Bryn Mawr and published her first book, The Trouble I’ve Seen, a collection of novellas, in 1936. Later the same year she met Hemingway in Key West, and in 1940 they were married. Gellhorn enjoyed – if that is the word – the shortest-lived of his marriages: indeed, Gellhorn was Hemingway’s only wife who left him before he left her. Her storied journalistic career began during the Spanish Civil War, and continued through the Second World War where she would be the only woman at D-Day, as well as one of the first to report on the liberation of Dachau. She spent the next decade working as a war correspondent in Spain, Finland, China, England, Italy, France, Germany, and Java for Collier’s Weekly; twenty years later, she resumed these duties in Vietnam and Israel for The Guardian. In addition to The Trouble I’ve Seen, Gellhorn published a dozen other novels, short story collections, nonfiction, and won the O. Henry Award for Two by Two (1958). In Our Time was Hemingway's first collection of short stories, first published by Boni & Liveright in 1925, before being revised and brought out by Scribner's in 1931. The present copy is a later printing of that American edition. The introduction by pre-eminent literary critic Edmund Wilson solidified Hemingway's reputation as one of the greatest writers of the time. See Hanneman A3b.
Octavo (187 x 127mm). Original smooth black cloth, gold paper labels (some abrading to paper labels), blue dust jacket printed in gold and black (dust jacket spine panel lightly toned, minor wear to extremities); in a custom quarter-morocco slipcase. Provenance: Martha Gellhorn (1908-1998, journalist; blindstamp and inscription).
