About this product

Product Information

Before he gained wide fame as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary reputation with his short stories. This collection,The Short Stories,originally published in 1938, is definitive. Among these forty-nine short stories are Hemingway's earliest efforts, written when he was a young foreign correspondent in Paris, and such masterpieces as "Hills Like White Elephants," "The Killers," "The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber," and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." Set in the varied landscapes of Spain, Africa, and the American Midwest, this collection traces the development and maturation of Hemingway's distinct and revolutionary storytelling style -- from the plain, bald language of his first story, "Up in Michigan," to the seamless prose and spare, eloquent pathos of "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" to the expansive solitude of the Big Two-Hearted River stories. These stories showcase the singular talent of a master, the most important American writer of the twentieth century.

  • Overrated Hemingway Needed and Editor

    Hemingway's reputation as a great writer whose ground-breaking style served as a model for writers succeeding him is truly mystifying. Hemingway must have built that reputation by relying on connections among literati of his early days...on rich adoring women...but, most important, on a publisher who pushed his work by providing publicists who overrated Hemingway's skill as a writer and oversold his work. Some of the stories in this collection are all right, pretty good even. Some are OK. Some are just plain blah. These stories needed an editor. One of the stories ("The Undefeated") is much, much too long. The composition of some of the stories is reader insensitive; the composition sometimes leaves the reader wondering who is the speaker in a dialogue; the composition sometimes lacks the ...

    He wrote real good in the beginning but it was paneful to read the last few books what he wrote. Sort of like Sinclair Lewis and john Steinbeck.. All three wrote brilliantly in the beginning but not well at all in their later years. Their, that's my review and I'm sticking two it...
