Description

A beautiful first edition copy of what most people consider to be Hemingway’s last great work; and certainly one of his most popular.

  • Ernest Hemingway (American).
  • New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1952.
  • [ii], 140 pp. 1 vols. 8vo.
  • First issue.
  • Pale blue cloth, spine lettered in silver.


Hemingway was sure that The Old Man and the Sea would "get rid of the school of criticism that I am through as a writer." John Dos Passos agreed later saying that the phenomenal success of The Old Man and the Sea "was like a magician's stunt." On the bestseller list for half a year, the book not only silenced those who had lambasted Across the River and into the Trees, but earned its author the Pulitzer Prize, the Nobel, and well over $200,000.
