Édition originale et premier tirage du chef-d’œuvre d’Hemingway. Hanneman A24.A. Exemplaire du premier tirage avec le « A » et le cachet de Scribner sur la page de copyright.

Le vieil homme porte le nom de Santiago. Depuis des semaines aucun poisson n’est venu mordre aux appâts de ses lignes mais il ne désespère pas et pour la quatre—vingt-cinquième fois prend la mer. A l’aube, il s’en va loin vers le large ; à midi, il ferre un gros poisson. La lutte s’annonce âpre, car l’animal évolue en profondeur et entraine la barque ; les heures passent et la nuit sans que rien vienne interrompre cette course durant laquelle les deux adversaires donnent le meilleur d’eux-mêmes. Ils ne sont pas ennemis mais tuer ou être tué est dans l’ordre naturel du monde de la mer [...] Pour avoir su refuser la défaite, il a enrichi à tout jamais la communauté, et jeunes et vieux, qui l’attendaient, savent maintenant pourquoi ils l’admireront lui qui a su, dans la solitude, rendre exemplaires leur peine et leur espoir [...] La réussite de ce livre est dans la beauté purement littéraire de l’écriture, et c’est sa meilleure chance de durer ». (T.F. Gallimard, 1952, Dictionnaire des Œuvres, VI, 668). Il s’agit de la dernière œuvre de fiction majeure produite par Hemingway et publiée de son vivant. Elle demeure son œuvre la plus célèbre et la plus recherchée. Cet ouvrage valut à Hemingway le double honneur du prix Pulitzer le 4 mai 1953, et du prix Nobel de littérature en 1954. The Old Man and the Sea fut d’ailleurs cité lors de l’annonce du Prix Nobel d’Hemingway en 1954 : "for his mastery of the art of narrative, most recently demonstrated in The Old Man and the Sea, and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style." Exemplaire en parfait état de conservation du roman le plus recherché d’Hemingway, avec la très belle jaquette illustrée conservée sans défaut.

Baptisé à Armandaritz (Pyrénées Atlantiques) en 1652, mort à Pougues les Eaux en 1719, Renau d’Elissagaray fut remarqué par Duquesne avec lequel il travailla aux constructions navales à Brest. « Il proposa un nouveau système de construction navale, que Vauban fit adopter et qu’il fut chargé de mettre en pratique. Un conflit ayant éclat en 1680 entre la France et le dey d’Alger, Renau proposa de bombarder la ville avec des galiotes de son invention. Malgré l’avis du conseil, Louis XIV consentit à ce qu’il fit construire cinq galiotes à bombes, que Renau conduisit devant Alger et dont le succès dépassa toutes les espérances. »Un des meilleurs traités de navigation du règne de Louis XIV conservé dans son maroquin ancien orné d’un décor à la grotesque.
Proiskhozhdenie chelovieska i polovoi podbor [i.e. English ""Descent of Man""]. - [FIRST TRANSLATION OF DARWIN'S 'DESCENT OF MAN' INTO ANY LANGUAGE]
S.-Peterburg, Izdanie redaktsii zhurnala ""Znanie, 1871. 8vo. In contemporary black half calf with four rasied bands and gilt lettering to spine.

The exceedingly rare first Russian translation of Darwin's 'Descent of Man' published only four month after the original English. The Russian publisher was eager to have a translation published, hence this early abridged edition - two other Russian translations followed later the same year - The present translation being the very first into any language. ""The Descent of Man showed that the process of organic evolution, propelled by the struggle for existence and natural selection, applied to man no less than to the rest of the animal kingdom. It gave explicit recognition to the idea of the anthropoid origin of man. This claim surprised no one, for it was clearly hinted at in the great work of 1859 and was elaborated in Thomas Huxley's Man's Place in Nature and Vogt's Lectures on Man. Nor was it much of a surprise when three Russian translations of The Descent appeared within one year after the publication of the English original. Two general ideas represented the essence of The Descent: natural selection is not only behind the physical survival of man but also behind the evolution of cultural values"" and the differences between animal and human behavior are differences of degree rather than of kind."" (Darwin in Russian Thought) ""The Expression helped lay the foundations for a scientific study of the psychological aspect of the evolution of species. The book appeared in a Russian translation only a few months after the publication of the English original. The paleontologist Vladimir Kovalevskii was the translator, and the embryologist Aleksandr Kovalevskii was in charge of editorial tasks. In 1874 Vladimir wrote to Darwin that nearly two thousand copies of the Russian translation were sold."" "" The Expression deals much more extensively with selected aspects of human and animal behavior than with general problems of evolutionary biology. The Russian reviewers were generally impressed with Darwin's descriptions and categorizations of animal behavior. The Journal of the Ministry of Public Education was unusually profuse in praising the book's content and writing style. The reviewer commended Darwin's impartiality and avoidance of ""materialistic trappings."" Even the adherents of spiritualism could read the book, he wrote, without the least discomfort. The reviewer thought that psychologists would benefit from the information the book presented on the ""physiological"" basis of behavior. Indeed, he recommended the book to all readers interested in the scientific foundations of human behavior. The liberal journal Knowledgewas equally laudatory. It noted that the book was eminently successful on two counts: it offered a ""rational explanation"" of many expressions of human emotions, and it integrated the study of animal and human behavior into the universal process of organic evolution. In fact, no educated person could afford to ignore it.N. P. Vagner, professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at St. Petersburg University, called The Expression a book with ""great strengths and minor flaws."" The volume reminded him of Darwin's previous works, which marked ""turning points in the history of science."" The strength of the book lay much more in its suggestion of new topics for comparative-psychological research than in a presentation of a theoretically and logically integrated system of scientific thought. Insufficient exploration of the physiological underpinnings of mental activities represented the book's major shortcoming"" (Darwin in Russian Thought) In Russia Darwinism had a profound influence not only upon the different sciences, but also on philosophy, economic and political thought, and the great literature of the period. For instance, both Tolstoy and Dostoevsky referenced Darwin in their most important works, as did numerous other thinkers of the period.Like Strakhov, however, Dostoevsky, acknowledging the significance of the ""Origin of Species"", saw the dangers of the theory. In the same year as the publication of Rachinsky's translation, he lets the narrator in ""Notes from Underground"" (1864) launch his attack on Darwinism , beginning: ""As soon as they prove you, for instance, that you are descended from a monkey, then it's no use scowling, you just have to accept it.""In ""Crime and Punishment"" (two years later, 1866) the Darwinian overtones inherent in Raskolnikov's theory of the extraordinary man are unmistakable. He describes the mechanism of ""natural selection,"" where, according to the laws of nature, by the crossing of races and types, a ""genius"" would eventually emerge. In general, Darwinian themes and Darwin's name occur in many contexts in a large number of Dostoevsky's works.'Descent of Man' was transted into Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian and Swedish in Darwin's lifetime.
