HEMINGWAY ERNEST
Green Hills of Africa
New York: Scribner's 1935. First edition. Fine. FIRST EDITION FIRST APPEARANCE of Hemingway's classic account of his 1933 African safari; this Scribner's magazine appearance precedes the first edition in book form. "Green Hills of Africa was written in Key West in 1934 mostly over a period of several months with interruptions for fishing expeditions in the Caribbean and another trip to Cuba. Published in October 25 1935 after serialization in Scribner's magazine it was indeed a book about landscape though Hemingway referred to it in more magical or mystical terms as 'country'. 

<br /> <br /> "It is probably that this communication of the sense of place and the sense of the immediacy and palpability of the experience in that place is what gives the Green Hills of Africa its special distinction.

<br /> <br /> "But even more than country Green Hills of Africa is a book about writing and writers. As a writer he wanted to see 'how far prose can be carried if any one is serious enough and has luck' to see if prose could attain a fourth and even a fifth dimension." Mellow Hemingway: A Life Without Consequences; Baker Hemingway the Writer as Artist. 

<br /> <br /> IN: Scribner's Magazine May - November 1935. New York: Scribner's 1935. Quarto original wrappers; custom box. Seven issues complete. Without any of the usual stamps or labels. An outstanding set - the finest we've seen. . Scribner's unknown books

HEMINGWAY ERNEST
Green Hills of Africa
New York: Scribner 1935. First Edition First Printing. Signed presentation copy to Ernest Hemingway’s friend newspaper columnist Walter Winchell. Inscribed: “To Walter Winchell from his friend and admirer. Ernest Hemingway.†Very good with the usual fading to the green cloth but less so than commonly found in a bright very good plus first issue dust jacket. Enclosed in a custom cloth clamshell box. Hemingway thought highly of Winchell in their early days and wrote that “Winchell is the greatest newspaperman that ever lived†and remarked that Winchell was the “only reporter who could last three rounds with the Zeitgeist.†Walter Winchell was at one time one of the most powerful individuals in America with his newspaper column syndicated in hundreds of newspapers and his role as radio commentator helping him to reach millions of people. In the 1940s and 1950s Winchell’s obssession with anti-communist conspiracies and his support of the evil Senator Joseph McCarthy eventually lost him his following. Scribner hardcover books

Octavo original green cloth decorations by Edward Shenton. Near fine in a bright very good dust jacket. A nice example. Green Hills of Africa was published in 1935 but initially appeared in Scribners Magazine the same year Meyers 1985. The first edition explains that Hemingway "attempted to write an absolutely true book to see whether the shape of a country and the pattern of a month's action can if truly presented compete with a work of the imagination." The author's intentions were quickly confirmed when the first print-run sold a popular 10500 copies and it was aptly praised by The New York Times as "a fine book on death in the African afternoon.The writing is the thing; that way he has of getting down with beautiful precision the exact way things look smell taste feel sound." Not unlike Hemingway's virtuosic abilities Green Hills of Africa also offers the writer's opinions on the value of his contemporaries: "The good American writers are Henry James Stephen Crane and Mark Twain Henry James wanted to make money. He never did of course." Hemingway adds that most American writers are inadequate and "came to a bad end" The value of Green Hills of Africa therefore is three-fold. It serves as masterly written entertainment a successful social experiment that tested the receptivity of the American public and an insight into the author's literary evaluation. The Observer is correct when it wrote "If he were never to write again his name would live as long as the English language for Green Hills of Africa takes its place beside his other works on that small shelf in our libraries which we reserve for the classics."

HEMINGWAY ERNEST
Important Autograph Letter Signed 6 pp on 3 sheets 4to Bimini BWI June 28 1936 with transmittal envelope "your press release" written on envelope flap
In this timely and substantial letter Hemingway responds to Abner Green's request to write press releases for The American Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born. Hemingway's opinions are clear especially with the suggestion that he write about the "murder of sending people guilty of political offenses back to Fascist countries and advocating some provisions for the right of asylum for political refugees." Hemingway writes on the envelope flap "your press release." Specifically he describes the brutal murder of Otto Richter a 21-year old anti-Nazi German who had fled to the United States in 1933. Hemingway refers to his Esquire and Cosmopolitan magazine articles and Cuban politics. This a remarkable letter. Additional background information on the letter follows the text: "Dear Green.Was in Cuba 6 weeks working on something and did not see your Richter releases or other releases as P.O. not forward 2nd class mail. However you're so much better than my own conscience that sometimes wonder if you must not feel pretty happy at what a good man you are. Certainly you have a damned worthy job and presumably are being paid for doing it as well and you have the satisfaction of being morally superior to Guerillas or just call it bandits. O.K. pal. To please you and see what difference it would make haven't written an Esquire article for 4 months. Have given them 2 good stories I could have sold elsewhere.and have been working like a son of a bitch. Now I am a shit because I've sold my 3rd story in 4 years to Cosmopolitan. The other two were good stories and so is this one. You go to hell. Now what do you want me to do about your press releases By the time they catch up with me is too late to protest as now on Richter who you have sadly on 13th and today is 18th and you sent that one by airmail. Will you write a telegram to be addressed to Sec. Perkins which I can sign and you send and I pay for any such cases. Can have it on file in KW office of Western Union and you wire there collect giving name of deportee etc. and the girl there will send it and charge it to me. Or do you want me to write an Esquire piece on the murder of sending people guilty of political offenses back to Fascist countries and advocating some provisions for the right of asylum for political refugees. It is a subject I can write a good piece on. In that case please give me list of cases and their disposition. Also information as to what countries would accept Richter for instance if he were deported to another country than Germany. What do you think would be proper solution if a man is convicted of illegal entry Give him a choice of where to be deported What countries will accept him under that circumstance As I see it the principal difficulty is that a political refugee now cannot enter legally since he must make an escape from his own country therefore his is always liable for illegal entry and you've got to find a legal way to pass him on somewhere else or provide for asylum of political refugees. Otherwise you are simply going to publicize an endless series of deportations which is o.k. if anybody wants martyrs but god damned impractical as tactics. Will you please write me . to Box 406-Key West-Fla. Anyway out west with my wife and Bob The kids middle of July and will take your doll with me and write a piece or will send the telegrams. Arrange for them in advance or both. I didn't answer your letter before this one about my stuff because it was so bloody righteous. Maybe it wasn't. What the hell. Anyway if righteousness is your bread and cheeze sic and red wine for Christ sake eat and drink it well. People in the church die happiest. It doesn't matter what form the church takes and if feeling superior is all you've got for Christ sake feel superior. I get the same kick when I write a good story. Send me the dope. I'm sorry as hell about Richter. I'm also sorry they took a pal of mine out 4 weeks ago and broke both his ankles pounded his balls broke all his finger bones and then poured a gallon of gas over him and set him on .fire alongside the road to Gruajoy . As near as anyone can figure the couldn't make him talk either. Nobody's gotten it since. What are you doing about Batista and Jose Pedraza What do you know about what the last names has been getting away with or do the fish bit too good with money and Cosmopolitan stories have to be written in the afternoons You've a nice lead there for the next time you pan. Pan sic ahead pal. I'll be a son of a bitch if I'm to want any friends." ." Signed "So hay Good luck Ernest Hemingway.''. Abner Green a writer was in charge of educational materials for the American Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born ACPFB and would become its Executive Secretary of from 1941 to 1959. As the person in charge of publicity and educational materials for the ACPFB it would have been Green who sent out press releases on various issues the committee was addressing. Hemingway is referring to the press releases that Green was sending out regarding Otto Richter a German immigrant who became a cause celebre. Fleeing Nazi Germany Richter got to the United States in 1936 but faced deportation back to Germany where he likely would have been killed. A protest movement supporting Richter and a letter writing campaign to Pres. Roosevelt failed. Richter went on a hunger strike wound up in the hospital and was finally granted permission to emigrate to Mexico. The US and Mexico had agreed to allow some refugees arriving in America to be relocated to Mexico. According to "The Mexican Right: The End of Revolutionary Reform 1929-1940" by John W. Sherman Praeger 1997 Richter was one of the "leftists whom New York communists routed to Mexico - spared from certain death in Germany." However our research makes it unclear whether Richter was actually a communist at the time or whether he was so labeled in the 1950s when the ACPFB was also deemed communist not just left leaning. Among the press releases that Abner Green must have sent out and to which Hemingway referred were the following each with further interesting bits of information on Richter and the American Committee for the Protection of Foreign. -In the July 11 1936 issue of the "Oakland Times" an article reads "The American Committee for the Protection of Foreign Born New York announced today that arrangements have been made to give Otto Richter. German awaiting deportation 30 days to leave the United States. Richter arrested here San Francisco during the 1934 longshoremen's strike expressed fear of Nazi retaliation if he was deported to his native country. He was active against the Nazis prior to 1933 he informed immigration officials. has been held at Ellis Island since June 12 but was freed yesterday under $1000 bail furnished by the committee." The article further states that Richter was hoping that he would be granted permission from "some foreign country" to go there with his 19-year old American wife. In the October 5 1936 issue of the Reading Pennsylvania Times an article notes that the ACPFB announced that Mexican authorities had consented to receive Richter as a "political exile." It further notes "Last June he marched down Broadway with a sign on his back saying ‘Shoot me'. He contended he would suffer that fate if sent back to Germany. And in the Indianapolis Star of October 6 1936 an article entitled "Nazi Foe Gets Refuge" it is stated that "Otto Richter 21 years old anti-Nazi German who fled his native land three years ago has obtained permission to enter Mexico as a political refugee the American Committee for the Protection of Foreign Born announced today. Richter and his American-born wife will leave for agencies caring for the sick."Seems this quote should read "leave with agencies.". A correspondence between Hemingway and Green began when Green using his pen name Paul Harris wrote an open letter to Hemingway entitled "Please Mr. Hemingway!" which appeared in "The American Criteria" December 1 1935. He implored Hemingway to stop writing the kind of stories he was writing for "Esquire Magazine" and instead to write of more important issues. The letter was distributed by The American Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born. From this letter a correspondence developed between Green and Hemingway. As a result of Green's call to Hemingway to take on the issue of immigrants both men began a correspondence which would likely include this letter. Hemingway became the Co-Chairman of the Committee of Sponsors of the American Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born. The other Co-Chairman was Dr. William Allan Neilson a Scottish-born American and President of Smith College who advocated for the acceptance of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany into the United States. The open letter to Hemingway is referenced in "The Legacy of Abner Green: A Memorial Journal" edited by Harry Carlisle published by the ACPFB in 1959. This is referred to in "Ernest Hemingway. Supplement to Ernest Hemingway: A Comprehensive Bibliography" by Andre Hanneman p. 146. The open letter is reprinted in "Hemingway and the Mechanism of Fame" by Matthew Bruccoli University of South Carolina Press 2006. The American Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born ACPFB was founded in 1933 on "the initiative of Roger Baldwin of the ACLU to defend constitutional rights of foreign-born persons in the United States. The new organization assisted individuals facing deportation aided persons seeking to become naturalized citizens attempted to combat harassment and official persecution of the foreign-born and opposed discriminatory legislation." See University of Michigan Special Collections summary of the Records of the Committee 1926-1980s The Joseph A. Labadie Collection; The ACPFB also supported the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade - Americans who fought in the Spanish Civil War. While there is no mention of Hemingway in the papers at the University of Michigan the connection to Hemingway is clear. During the Spanish Civil War Hemingway reported for the North American Newspaper "Alliance" and was a proponent of the Republicans against the Fascists. The ACPFB was formally dissolved in 1982 when it was absorbed by the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee. Hemingway's reference to "Sec. Perkins" in our letter suggests that Green might have been thinking of having him write a telegram to Perkins who served as President Roosevelt's Secretary of Labor at the time. Senator Frances Perkins became the first woman to serve as a cabinet secretary and she is considered the "principal architect of the New Deal. " She is known especially for the Social Security Act which she spearheaded in 1935. Perkins held a firm stand on the issue of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany and worked diligently to force FDR and America to take in refugees. Until 1940 the Department of Labor was in charge of immigration and naturalization. According to the University of Michigan website "Throughout its history the Committee was run by a small staff with considerable assistance from those sponsors who served as honorary chairpersons. Abner Green was executive secretary from 1941 to 1959. unknown books

Hemingway Ernest
In Our Time.
Printed at the Three Mountains Press and for sale at Shakespeare & Company: Paris 1924. First edition of Hemingway's second published work one of of 170 numbered copies printed on Rives hand-made paper this is number 90. Quarto original tan printed <span class="glossaryQtip qTip">boards</span> with black lettering and publisher's device printed over a collage of red-lettered facsimile newspaper items <span class="glossaryQtip qTip">woodcut</span> <span class="glossaryQtip qTip">frontispiece</span> portrait of Hemingway from a portrait by Henry Strater all edges uncut. In fine condition. Housed in a custom folding cloth chemise and half morocco slipcase with splitting to the chemise. One of Hemingway's rarest books second only to Three Stories and Ten Poems both because of the limited number of copies printed and its fragile nature. A superior example. Ezra Pound had arranged with William Bird the owner of The Three Mountains Press to publish a series of six volumes by contemporary writers under the collective title 'The Inquest into the State of Contemporary English Prose'. Contributors included Pound himself Ford Maddox Ford William Carlos Williams and Ernest Hemingway. For his contribution Hemingway selected the 6 sketches that had already been published in The Little Review in 1924 to which he added a further 12. The resulting publication was titled in our time an ironic reference to the twelfth line of the Episcopalian Evening Prayer: "Give peace in our time O Lord". In our time is certainly one of Hemingway's rarest both because of the limited number of copies printed and its fragile nature. A series of short vignettes the work is a powerful statement on war and includes chapters written during Hemingway's recent visits to Spain and the fictional account of the death of Maera a renowned matador. In his review in The Dial October 1924 Edmund Wilson asserted "I am inclined to think that this little book has more artistic dignity than any other book that has been written by an American about the period of the war" and called it "a harrowing record of the barbarities of the period in which we live". Ezra Pound edited in our time and it was later expanded into the American edition of 1925 in which these 18 chapters appeared interspersed among other classic Hemingway short stories.
