This copy inscribed to Hemingway scholar and biographer Michael Murphy, author of Hemingway: The Best of What He Had (1974), Hemingway: A 75th Anniversary Tribute (1974, with Vincent Starrett), and Murphy on Hemingway (1978). Murphy is best known for his 1977 novel Hemingsteen: A Novel Based on the Life of Ernest Hemingway. "In a one-page introduction to Hemingsteen, Murphy explains that the "idea for this book originated with Hemingway in his statement about the Oak Park novel," which would have been explicitly autobiographical and, perhaps ironically, for that reason was never written...Murphy's novel seeks to do what much fan fiction does: fill in the gaps. Where hints or innuendos are suggested or where unresolved conundrums or mysteries linger, the writer of fan fiction steps in" (McFarland, Ron. Appropriating Hemingway: Using Him as a Fictional Character, p.32). An attractive association copy of Hemingway's first best-seller. Hanneman 8a; Connolly 100.

Near fine in the rare original slipcase which is in very good condition, lacking the small bottom panel. A nice example. Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield—weary, demoralized men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and desertion—this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right. Farewell To Arms is the only signed limited edition of Ernest Hemingway's works.

Overall, a bright, beautiful copy. Hanneman A8a. Set in Italy during World War I, A Farewell to Arms tells the story of a romance between the protagonist Frederic Henry, an American serving as a lieutenant in the Italian ambulance corps, and Catherine Barkley, a British nurse tending to wounded soldiers. Widely considered one of the best novels to come from the war, the novel is, as the original dust jacket proclaims, "the very essence of beauty as twisted and made tragic by war" that "expresses the innermost nature of war." Unlike many of the other war novels by contemporary writers, A Farewell to Arms addresses not only the aftermath of WWI but the events of the war itself, specifically the Italian Front around the Battle of Caporetto of Autumn 1917. Accordingly, it stood out amongst the war novels, becoming Hemingway's first best-seller and establishing him as a premier American writer. Interestingly, in his 1958 interview with The Paris Review, Hemingway famously remarked, "I rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms, the last page of it, thirty-nine times before I was satisfied.".
