A Moveable Feast: Sketches of the Author's Life in Paris in the Twenties

Descripción

First edition. Foxing on the foredge and first and last few pages, and a little scattered foxing throughout the text, thus very good in price-clipped near fine dust jacket. Vignettes inspired by the author's profound nostalgia for the halcyon days of his early career while living in Europe, and particularly Paris with his first wife Hadley Richardson. This copy is Signed on the title page by Hadley using her name from her second, and final, marriage to noted journalist Paul Mowrer: "Hadley R. Mowrer." After their divorce, when Hemingway left Hadley for Pauline Pfeiffer, Hadley assiduously avoided connections to her past with Hemingway. This is a profoundly nostalgic object indicative of Hemingway s heyday. We originally purchased this copy in the 1980s from the person who convinced Hadley to sign the book, sold it into a distinguished private collection, and have just recently reacquired it. We've never seen another copy of this book signed by Hadley either before or since, and think it is likely unique. Further detailed provenance on request.
