The Torrents of Spring: A Romantic Novel in Honor of the Passing of a Great Race

Description: The Torrents of Spring by Ernest Hemingway Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Written in ten days, The Torrents of Spring was a satirical treatment of pretentious writers. Hemingway submitted the manuscript early in December 1925, and it was rejected by the end of the month. Finally, in January 1926, Max Perkins at Scribners agreed to publish The Torrents of Spring in addition to Hemingways future work. Scribner published the Torrents of Spring in May of that year; the first edition had a print run of 1250 copies.Set in northern Michigan, The Torrents of Spring concerns two men who work at a pump factory: World War I veteran Yogi Johnson and writer Scripps ONeill. Both are searching for the perfect woman, though they disagree over this ideal.The story begins with ONeill returning home from the library to find that his wife and small daughter have left him, explaining that "It takes a lot to mend the walls of fate." ONeill, desperate for companionship, befriends a British waitress, Diana, at the restaurant where she works and immediately asks her to marry him.Diana makes an attempt to impress her spouse by reading books from the lists of The New York Times Book Review, including many forgotten pot-boilers of the 1920s. But ONeill soon leaves her (as she feared he would when she first met him) for another waitress, Mandy, who enthralls him with her store of literary (but possibly made up) anecdotes.
