Ernest Hemingway. Stated first edition. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1986. Both unclipped dust jacket (in Mylar wrapper) and hardcover are in Very Good+ to Near Fine condition. No writing or markings found in the book, 247 pp. Jacket design by Marek Antoniak.
A beautiful collectible copy of Hemingway’s provocative and deeply personal final novel. Published twenty-five years after the author’s death, The Garden of Eden reveals a side of Hemingway largely unseen during his lifetime, exploring themes of identity, desire, creativity, and the shifting boundaries of relationships.
Originally begun in 1946 and worked on intermittently until Hemingway’s death in 1961, The Garden of Eden remains one of the most discussed and intriguing works in the Hemingway canon. Set on the French Riviera, it follows a young American writer and his wife as their honeymoon evolves into an increasingly complex exploration of love, obsession, and artistic inspiration.
A desirable Hemingway first edition and an essential addition to any collection of modern first editions, literary fiction, or Hemingway works.
