'Islands in the Stream' is the first of the posthumously published novels by Hemingway, and had been intended to revive his reputation as a writer following 'Across the River and Into the Trees'. Hemingway worked on this novel from 1950-1951, and it was found by his wife after his death.?This novel encompasses three stories across three life-stages of its main protagonist, Thomas Hudson. These three acts are titled 'Bimini', 'Cuba', and 'At Sea'.?Ernest Hemingway (1889-1961) was an American novelist and journalist who had an immeasurable influence on twentieth century fiction. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, and is well-known for countless novels such as 'A Farewell to Arms', 'The Sun Also Rises', and 'The Old Man and the Sea'.?Collated, complete.
In the original cloth binding, in the original unclipped dust wrapper. Proper A on the copyright page as well as NO signs of the similarly produced book club edition. This is the real deal. (MOST of the copies of this on eBay are simply later printings or clubs. Good to read, but worthless to resell as a collector.)
This is NOT an ex-Library or Remainder copy!
The book appears either unread or very carefully read once. Just the lightest hints of handling to spine ends and a hint of tone to page edges, else FINE! Book is free of ALL owner writing, remainders, inscriptions, underlining etc... Comes in an equally attractive jacket with a touch of wrinkle to edges/folds. UNCLIPPED with 10.00 price intact on the front flap. NOT the common book club edition which has a book club embossment or slug on the back lower board (see pic, no square). THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. COLLECTOR'S COPY!
All items are carefully packed in bubble-wrap and placed INSIDE a BOX for shipping.
BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: All images taken with a digital camera. I DO NOT use a scanner and any images of interior pages are taken carefully (The book is not flattened down to take images). Also I use a flash so some of the white "Hot" spots on the top and bottom of Books or along folds are caused by the flash and the reflection from the Mylar protector. Please refer to description for confirmation of condition.
