above article. Circa 1935. Page 26 from an "Esquire" magazine that
features two drawings and the beginning of an article written by
Hemingway. In the 1930s, American novelist and short story writer Ernest
Hemingway (1899-1961), who was a frequent contributor to "Esquire", wrote a
series of 31 "letters" for the magazine. In this article, he writes about
the growing tensions that would result in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).
Hemingway, who supported the Loyalist side and served as a war correspondent
during that war (1937), used his experiences as the background for his most
ambitious novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). In 1953, Hemingway, the
author of such works as The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell To
Arms (1929) and The Green Hills of Africa (1935), was awarded the
Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for The Old Man and the Sea, which he
had first outlined in "Esquire" in 1936! Hemingway received the Nobel
Prize in Literature in 1954. Right margin, which is lightly soiled, is torn
at lower portion and chipped at upper right. Creased from folds. Lightly toned.
