Etat : Fine. Limited first edition one of less than 100 copies in the rare first issue of Hemingway's narration of the film THE SPANISH EARTH, produced to raise funds for the Loyalists in the Spanish Civil War. This book was produced in the midst of the Spanish Civil War, while Hemingway was working as a correspondent in the war zone experience that would become formative for one of his most acclaimed novels, FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, set during the same conflict. When Hemingway was sent one of his early copies, he immediately wrote the publisher asking that the endpapers, depicting the banner of the Federacion Anarquista Iberica, be changed: "Hemingway informed [the publisher] of the peril that the association of the F.A.I. banner and his name potentially place him so long as he worked in Spain" (Grissom 204). The second issue copies have plain endpapers, with Hemingway's objection to the FAI endpapers noted at the rear. Only 50 to 100 copies have the F.A.I. endpapers, making this edition the sole edition published rarely seen in the first issue, let alone in the original glassine. An elusive Hemingway collectible and a compelling artifact reflecting the contemporary American perception of the Spanish Civil War. 7.5'' x 5.25''. Original tan pictorial cloth stamped in orange with black lettering. In original glassine. Orange pictorial "F.A.I." endpapers. 60 pages. Housed in custom quarter blue goatskin clamshell box. Book beautiful. Glassine very good plus, with moderate wear to edges and a bit of shallow loss at bottom edge, overall remarkably intact.

Decorative Cloth. Etat : Fine. First Edition. Exceptionally scarce First Issue with F. A. I. banner end papers, one of fewer than 100 copies from a limited edition of 1000 copies, of which this is number 116. (Hemingway so disliked the original orange end papers showing soldiers advancing beneath the flag of the Federación Anarquista Ibérica, or F. A. I, one of the pro-Republican belligerents in the Spanish Civil War, that after an estimated 50 to 100 copies were bound (so reported by the publisher in a letter to Hanneman) the endpapers were changed to plain.) Illustrated by Frederick K. Russell, with introduction by Jasper Wood. Small, slim 8vo: 60pp, with 7 full-page original charcoal drawings. Publisher's tan linen cloth, front cover lettered in black and decorated in orange, spine lettered in black, printed throughout in black on tan Linweave paper, absent the original glassine jacket (fresh one added). A superlative copy, covers and spine almost pristine with barest hint of toning; tightly bound text, fresh and bright; superb illustrations. Hanneman A15a. Text of the narration for the sound track that Hemingway contributed to the 1938 film of the same name, about the Spanish Civil War, which broke out in 1936 with a military uprising in Morocco on July 17, triggered by events in Madrid. Within days, Spain was divided in two: a "Republican," or "Loyalist," Spain consisting of the Second Spanish Republic (within which were pockets of revolutionary anarchism and Trotskyism), and a "Nationalist" Spain under the insurgent generals and, eventually, under the leadership of General Francisco Franco. "Late in 1936, while Hemingway was working on To Have and Have Not, the North American Newspaper Alliance offered to hire him to report on the civil war being fought in Spain. The literary fruits of this undertaking, in addition to the news stories Hemingway produced to fulfill his contract, were the script for the narration of a pro-Republic documentary film, The Spanish Earth; a relatively unsuccessful play, The Fifth Column (published with his collected stories as The Fifth Column and the First Forty-nine Stories); a handful of short stories about wartime Spain, and his most successful novel in more than a decade, For Whom the Bell Tolls." (Literary Encyclopedia) The Spanish Earth was published by a precocious Cleveland high-school student named Jasper Wood, who was so moved on seeing the film that he convinced Hemingway to allow publication of the text. Fewer than a hundred copies were bound (this first issue is a notable Hemingway rarity) before Wood made the change to plain tan end papers (the second issue). N. B.

8" x 10". 8" x 10" The Spanish Earth was a 1937 documentary directed by Dutch filmmaker Joris Ivens. The idea came about in December 1936 when several literary figures, including Lillian Hellman, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Dorothy Parker, and Archibald MacLeish, formed and funded a company they named Contemporary Historians, Inc., to back the film. The backers specifically meant the film to demonstrate support for the Republican forces and the Americans of the Abraham Lincoln Battalion who fought against the Nationalists, unlike Hollywood's only other effort on the subject, the apolitical 1937 film, The Last Train from Madrid. The film was made up of footage of war and glimpses of rural Spanish life in its portrayal of the struggle of the Spanish Republican government against a rebellion by right-wing forces led by General Francisco Franco and backed by Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. The film was written by Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos (among others) and one version was narrated by Hemingway while another was done by Orson Welles in May 1937. A French-language version is narrated by Jean Renoir. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt invited Hemingway and Ivens to show the film at the White House in advance of its premiere. The version screened for the Roosevelts on July 8, 1937, was narrated by Orson Welles. Sepia toned photo still from the film, a few light surface marks and slight crease at bottom left but not enough to bend; overall very good.
