1926

This is Scribner’s Office Copy, making it unique and pivotal to the story of the transition to Max Perkins and Scribner’s. A well-preserved copy of Hemingway's first novel, clean and solid, hinges firm. Although it was written after The Sun Also Rises—"to cool out," Hemingway explained—The Torrents of Spring was published prior to his more famous novel. It was written as a parody of Sherwood Anderson's Dark Laughter.
