About This Item
Buenos Aires: Editorial Claridad. 1956. Reprint of the Argentinean edition. Reprint of the Argentinean edition. Inscribed by the author to the Czech-American photographer, composer and adventurer Eduard Ingris. Later green cloth with the original upper wrapper laid down to the upper board, incorporating the original endpapers, titles in gilt to the spine. Housed in a green card slipcase. Publisher's spine panel tipped in at the rear. A very good copy, the binding square and tight. The contents, with the unavoidable toning of the text block are otherwise clean throughout. Housed in the lightly rubbed, structurally sound slipcase. Inscribed by the author in blue ink on the half title "To Eduard Ingris. / with admiration wishing / him all good things / Ernest Hemingway". The 1956 publication date of this volume is significant, as it was in May 1956 that Ernest Hemingway first met Eduard Ingri in Cabo Blanco, on the north coast of Peru. Ingri, an adventurer, composer and film-maker had just returned from the failed Kantuta I expedition, inspired by Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki expedition. Initially Hemingway sought advice on catching specimen Marlin in the rough seas off the coast of Peru, advice that must have borne fruit as, in 1957 Ingri received a call from Hollywood, at Hemingway's request to advise the team on the filming the screen adaptation of "The Old Man and the Sea". Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
