Cleveland: The J.B. Savage Company, 1938. Fine.. Limited first edition, one of less than 100 copies in the rare first issue with F.A.I. endpapers, of Hemingway's narration of the film THE SPANISH EARTH, produced to raise funds for the Loyalists in the Spanish Civil War. This book was produced in the midst of the Spanish Civil War, while Hemingway was working as a correspondent in the war zone - experience that would become formative for one of his most acclaimed novels, FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, set during the same conflict.

The second issue copies have plain endpapers, with Hemingway's objection to the FAI endpapers noted at the rear. Only 50 to 100… Read More
