First Edition Library Facsimile Edition: A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of 20th-century American literary history, Lost Generation lore, and fine press facsimile publishing ephemera: an official First Edition Library (FEL) replica volume of A Farewell to Arms by Nobel Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway.
One of the defining masterpieces of World War I literature, Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) drew directly from his experience as a World War I ambulance driver on the Italian front to compose his 1929 novel A Farewell to Arms. The poignant narrative details the tragic romance between American Lieutenant Frederic Henry and English nurse Catherine Barkley amidst the horrors and disillusionment of war.
Published by The First Edition Library (Shelton, Connecticut) under permission from Charles Scribner's Sons, this precise facsimile edition faithfully recreates the original 1929 first printing in exact detail. The volume features the famous original dust jacket artwork designed by Cleonike Damianakes depicting classical figures in gold and orange tones against a blue-gray background. The jacket back preserves original contemporary reviews for The Sun Also Rises and Men Without Women, while the book is housed inside a custom cloth slipcase featuring a matching inlaid jacket design.
The copyright page carries the original 1929 Scribner notice alongside FEL's official authentication box confirming publication authorization.
Preserved in fine condition with sharp cloth boards, an intact jacket, a crisp text block, and a sturdy gray cloth slipcase, this exact facsimile serves as an essential centerpiece for Ernest Hemingway completists, World War I literature archivists, and fine press displays.
