THE SPANISH
EARTH
facsimile
Ernest
Hemingway
A Paperback Facsimile
The Spanish Earth was published in a limited edition of 1000 copies
by the J. B. Savage Company of Cleveland in 1938. In 1938 a Cleveland high-school student, Jasper Wood, persuaded
Ernest Hemingway to allow publication of the transcript of Hemingway’s original
narration for the film The Spanish Earth. Wood took charge of the project and chose to
have the book bound with endpapers and pastedowns decorated with the banner of
the Spanish Anarchist Federation ("F.A.I" [Federación Anarquista
Iberica] - an organization to which
Hemingway was fundamentally opposed).
After receiving a furious telegram from Hemingway, Wood destroyed most
of the edition and reissued it with plain endpapers and pastedowns. He also added a disclaimer statement on the
rear pastedown.
This paperback facsimile was created by
photographing both the original “bannered” edition and the “disclaimer” edition. It includes the Spanish Anarchist Federation
banner and the disclaimer. This is one
of only 200 copies published.
