1928 The Torrents of Spring

Description

Early Edition, Leather Binding, Rebound

The second edition of this work, which was first published in 1926.

Smartly rebound in a half morocco binding with marbled paper to the boards.

A lesser known work of Ernest Hemingway, this novella was written as a parody of 'Dark Laughter' by Sherwood Anderson.

Hemingway takes a satirical look at pretentious writers in this novel and in its publication. He wrote it in only ten days, and received a mixed reaction when first published, partly as it was published in the same year as 'The Sun Also Rises'.

'The Torrents of Spring' follows two men who work at a pump factory in the interwar era. Both men are searching for the perfect women, the novel following a series of their failed loves as they each try to find their ideal woman.
