Islands in the Stream – Ernest Hemingway – First Edition 1970

This is the first UK edition published by Collins, London in 1970.

The Twyborn Affair – Patrick White – First edition 1979

A particularly good copy of this first edition published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1979. Octavo, 432 pages, clean as a whistle throughout.

A novel in three parts based first in the French Riviera before WWI: then a Sheep Station in the Snowy Mountain area of New South Wales after the war and finally in London in the lead up to WWII.

The protagonist although connected changes gender and more in each part, and the whole is a complex novel, challenging conventions as well as being wickedly humorous.

True at First Light – Ernest Hemingway (Introduced by Patrick Hemingway) – First Edition

Regarded by the London Times as “the most important book to appear in 1999″

A posthumously published work. Released in 1999 to coincide with the 100 year anniversary of Hemingway’s birth.

Relates to the 1953-54 safari to East Africa with his fourth wife. Part fiction part fact. Much controversy regarding its release. One school believing that Patrick’s indulgence in editing this unfinished work partly commercially driven. Hemingway lovers on the other hand happy to get some more words from the great man.

Published by Heinemann, 319 pages. A fine copy in near new condition.

Hemingway in Africa with some reality and some fantasy.
