Long Life: Memoirs
Nicolson, Nigel
Weidenfeld & Nicholson London 1997 First Edition
8vo Hard Cover Publishers original black boards with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, protected in Brodart. Green endpapers, no inscriptions. 310pp including index, plus 16pp b/w photographs, pages clean and bright in firm binding. Nigel Nicolson has had an unusual life. Born the younger son of Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West, he grew up in a world, which combined Bloomsbury with Knole, Eton with Sissinghurst, and Oxford with the uninhabited islands in the Outer Hebrides, which he bought while still an undergraduate. In this book he has unravelled the many strands of his career to focus each chapter on a particular aspect of it. Thus, his experiences in Austria in 1945 are linked to the famous Tolstoy-Aldington trial of 1989, in which he was Tolstoy's chief witness. His many journeys to the United States and Canada are summarised in the grand tour which he and his son Adam recorded in their letters and published in Two Roads to Dodge City. He ends his book with an account of his marriage, and a description of his life at Sissinghurst, now a property of the National Trust, whose garden has become one of the most famous in the world.

The True Gen; An Intimate Portrait of Hemingway By Those Who Knew Him
Brian, Denis
Grove Press New York 1988 First Edition
8vo Hard Cover Publishers original grey boards with black lettering to tan cloth spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, protected in Brodart. White endpapers, no inscriptions. 356pp including index, plus 16pp b/w photographs, remainder spot on base of book otherwise pages clean and bright in firm binding. Scores of Hemingway's friends and intimates: wives, children, colleagues, critics, biographers, and companions of the rod, gun, and glass, assemble here to paint a lively, revealing and very personal picture of Hemingway caught in the act of living his life, one of the most exciting and enigmatic of the twentieth century. The witnesses to that life, many of whom have died since Denis Brian interviewed them, are almost as fascinating as the man himself. Ever present though is Ernest Hemingway himself and the hitherto puzzling strands of his existence: his drive to endanger his life again and again, his epic battles with his closest friends, his dependence on alcohol. His sexuality, his marriages, and his family's influence are only a few of the facets examined here with rare frankness and perception. While the enigma of Hemingway's life may never be finally solved, this book brings us the man as he truly was. Very Good
