Ernest Hemingway – Fiesta – Cape Edition

Our favourite edition Published by Jonathan Cape, London this issue 1975. Presented in that classic wrap around cover. Scarce and sought after in this Cape form. All about the bullfight in Hemingway.

The dust jacket designed by Hans Tindall. Octavo, 286 pages, a pretty good copy. The strong bull image on the dust jacket is repeated boldly on the front board. Stunning.

This is the Fiesta

Hemingway – High on the Wild – Lloyd Arnold

A 1977 edition of this table book relating to Hemingway’s time and family in the mountains of his beloved Idaho. Hemingway as we all know had a penchant for Cuba, Spain, Paris, Africa [the hunt] but it was the snowy winters of Idaho that he kept going back to.

Lloyd Arnold as a friend and this book was sponsored by Hemingway’s son … it contains many images of the great man with friends and family and the odd partridge. They all look very happy and rustic – even those with Cary Grant. It makes us feel better about what would become a troubled life.

Published by Grosset & Dunlap, quarto, 163 pages, heavily illustrated from original photographs. A little fixed to page edges otherwise a good copy.

Fitzgerald and Hemingway – a Dangerous Friendship – Matthew Bruccoli

A seriously interesting and entertaining account of the “dangerous” friendship between these two literary greats. The author Bruccoli, Professor of English at the South Carolina University and the man who penned numerous works relating to the subject pair and the definitive bibliography of Fitzgerald.

This the first UK edition published by Andre Deutsch in 1995, Octavo, 236 pages, illustrated from appropriate photographs, book cover etc.

It is the previously unpublished letters that make it for Voyager. The intellectual battle for humour, the banter the ribbing, the intensity, and the soul bared is special. Hemingway holds nothing back reading stream of consciousness [he did not like it] so Joyce et al get a quiet pasting. Zelda arises in the background Hemingway’s view strongly that she held back the great SFG and man who could have been America’s greatest writer.

Fitzgerald and Hemingway – intimately.

The introduction of harmonica and guitar expressing the lighthearted camaraderie between the three soldiers.

The Old Man and the Sea – Ernest Hemingway – 1967 Edition

Should be everyone’s favourite short read. Nobel citation – “his powerful style-forming mastery of the art of modern narration, as most lately revealed in his novel The Old Man and the Sea”.

A later edition published by Jonathan Cape in 1967.

Octavo, 127 pages. With the colourful wrap around jacket by Hans Tisdall. The jacket in very good condition bar a nibble on the back leading fold. The pages are pretty clean, generally a very good copy.

Much debate among critics regarding this book … the anti-Hemingway brigade miss the point by a nautical mile. No better metaphor for Hemingway’s life than these words. Could the ending be more poignant?

Hans Tisdall was the designer of the Hemingway Cape dust jackets. You can see why we like them at Voyager … they have Universal attraction. Tisdall (1910-1971) born in Germany was originally a textile designer and made his name at Edinburgh Weavers. Later in life he won awards for the design of the entryway to the Battersea Fun Park and was commissioned to produce dust jacket artwork for which he designed these distinctive brushstroke cursive fonts. Michael Harvey subsequently produced a new typeface base on this style named Tisdall Script.
