This 1958 printing of Ernest Hemingway’s seminal short story collection “In Our Time” is a remarkable artifact from the golden age of American literature. Published just a year after the author’s death, this edition captures the raw and uncompromising prose that made Hemingway a literary icon. The stories, set against the backdrop of World War I, explore themes of disillusionment, masculinity, and the human condition with unflinching honesty.
While the cover shows signs of wear befitting a well-loved classic, the interior pages remain crisp and the binding sturdy, a testament to the enduring power of Hemingway’s writing. For collectors, this edition offers a glimpse into the mid-20th century literary landscape, when Hemingway’s terse, minimalist style was both revolutionary and influential. Readers will appreciate the opportunity to delve into the author’s early masterworks, which paved the way for his later triumphs like “The Sun Also Rises” and “A Farewell to Arms.”
