Hemingway (The Viking Portable Library)

The book is in fair condition, considering its 1944 publication date. The spine and cover show signs of wear, particularly at the edges and corners. The pages are yellowed with age but remain intact and legible. There is no dust jacket present, and the binding, though slightly loose, holds the pages securely.

This edition of "Hemingway" from The Viking Portable Library, edited by Malcolm Cowley, was published by The Viking Press in New York in 1944. This third printing, released in November of the same year, compiles some of Ernest Hemingway's most significant works, showcasing his mastery in the realm of American literature. As a distinguished figure in 20th-century fiction, Hemingway's influence is profound and enduring. This anthology provides a comprehensive look at his narrative style and thematic exploration, making it a valuable addition to any serious literary collection. While this copy is not a first edition, its wartime production context adds historical interest. The physical condition reflects its age, with no dust jacket available for assessment.
