DESCRIPTION
The second edition of this work, which was first published in 1926.
Smartly rebound in a half morocco binding with marbled paper to the boards.
A lesser known work of Ernest Hemingway, this novella was written as a parody of 'Dark Laughter' by Sherwood Anderson.
Hemingway takes a satirical look at pretentious writers in this novel and in its publication. He wrote it in only ten days, and received a mixed reaction when first published, partly as it was published in the same year as 'The Sun Also Rises'.
'The Torrents of Spring' follows two men who work at a pump factory in the interwar era. Both men are searching for the perfect women, the novel following a series of their failed loves as they each try to find their ideal woman.
CONDITION
In a half morocco binding with marbled paper to the boards. Externally, fine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are a little age-toned, as is usual, and clean, with a few spots to the first few pages.
Overall Condition: Near Fine
