Ernest Hemingway's classic novel of love during wartime. Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield, this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. Hemingway famously rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right. A classic novel of love during wartime, "A Farewell to Arms stands, more than eighty years after its first appearance, as a towering ornament of American literature" (The Washington Times).

Men Without Women is the collection of short stories written by American author Ernest Hemingway. The volume consists of 14 stories. It was published in October 1927.
Begun in the autumn of 1957 and published posthumously in 1964, Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast is an entertaining memoir of his years in Paris (1921-26) before he was famous. It captures what it meant to be young and poor and writing in Paris during the 1920s. A correspondent for the Toronto Star, Hemingway arrived in Paris in 1921, three years after the trauma of the Great War and at the beginning of the transformation of Europe's cultural landscape: Braque and Picasso were experimenting with cubist form; James Joyce, long living in self-imposed exile from his native Dublin, had just completed Ulysses; Gertrude Stein held court at 27 Rue de Fleurus, and deemed young Ernest a member of une generation perdue; and T.S. Eliot was a bank clerk in London. It was during these years that the as-of-yet unpublished young writer gathered the material for his first novel The Sun Also Rises, and the subsequent masterpieces that followed.
I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast and I'm not really living it. In the dazzling lights of 1920s Paris, falling in love comes easily. Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley are part of the Lost Generation, disillusioned by the tragedies of World War I and seeking immediate pleasures. They begin an all-consuming love affair that leads them to the Spanish city of Pamplona, with its invigorating bullfights and gaudy matadors. But is their love as fleeting as the fiesta? The Sun Also Rises was Hemingway's first novel and one of his best. Beautifully told, this heart-rending story is the quintessential novel of the 'roaring twenties' - a decade at once thrilling and tragic as a generation desperately search for meaning in the wake of World War I.
Ernest Hemingway's mark on American literature cannot be overstated. Under the modernist poet Ezra Pound's mentorship, Hemingway's early writings show him developing his unique style of sparse, objective prose. With the success of his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, this style established him as the leading writer of the Lost Generation. He would go on to become a literary giant and celebrity, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He lived from 1899 to 1961.This beautiful hardcover edition from Cellar Books contains some of Ernest Hemingway's earliest works:Three Stories and Ten PoemsIn Our TimeThe Torrents of SpringThe Sun Also Rises
"He is strikingly original, and in the dry compressed little vignettes of In Our Time hasalmost invented a form of his own." - Edmund Wilson."The Sun Also Rises is Hemingway's first and best novel." - Robert McCrum, The Guardian."The delightful entertainment of The Torrents of Spring... is full-blooded comedy, with a sting of satire." - The New York Times."Hemingway remodelled American short fiction." - Michael Reynolds (Hemingway biographer) Ernest Hemingway: Selected Works is a brilliantly varied collection. Three Stories and Ten Poems was Hemingway's first book; critic Edmund Wilson describes the writing as of "the first distinction;" biographer James Mellow considers it one of Hemingway's early masterpieces. Hemingway remodelled American short fiction; In Our Time is one of the most important twentieth-century collections of short stories. The Sun Also Rises, perhaps Hemingway's best novel, perfectly captures the period between World War I and the Great Depression. It made Hemingway a celebrity. Young women began to emulate Brett, the heroine, while male students at Ivy League universities wanted to become "Hemingway heroes." The Torrents of Spring, a comedy, sets out to amuse, and this it does. Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 - July 2, 1961) was an American journalist, novelist, short-story writer, and hunter. He was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature for "his mastery of the art of narrative ... and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style." His economical and understated style-using what he termed "the iceberg theory" or "the theory of omission"-has had a strong influence on twentieth-century fiction. Many of his novels are considered classics of American literature. Writer Richard Ford calls Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Faulkner "the Three Kings who set the measure for every writer since."
First published in 1927, Ernest Hemingway's "Men Without Women" is the author's second collection of short stories which consists of fourteen tales, ten of which were previously published in periodicals. The collection includes some of the author's more famous shorter works, including "Hills Like White Elephants", in which an American man and a young woman share a deeply symbolic conversation on a train discussing an operation that the man wants the woman to have, which is implied to be an abortion. The other stories in the collection explore the various subjects of war, bullfighting, prizefighting, addiction, death, infidelity, and divorce. In several of the stories we find Hemingway's recurring semi-autobiographical character Nick Adams. Hemingway's concise and understated prose, which he referred to as the "Iceberg Theory" and which had a major influence on the modernist literary movement of the 20th century, is one full display in this excellent collection of short stories. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
Men Without Women represents some of Hemingway's most important and compelling early writing. In these fourteen stories, Hemingway begins to examine the themes that would occupy his later works: the casualties of war, the often uneasy relationship between men and women, sport and sportsmanship. In "Banal Story," Hemingway offers a lasting tribute to the famed matador Maera. "In Another Country" tells of an Italian major recovering from war wounds as he mourns the untimely death of his wife. "The Killers" is the hard-edged story about two Chicago gunmen and their potential victim. Nick Adams makes an appearance in "Ten Indians," in which he is presumably betrayed by his Indian girlfriend, Prudence. And "Hills Like White Elephants" is a young couple's subtle, heartwrenching discussion of abortion. Pared down, gritty, and subtly expressive, these stories show the young Hemingway emerging as America's finest short story writer.

The Sun Also Rises is a love story between Jake Barnes-a man whose war wound has made him unable to have sex-and the promiscuous divorcée Lady Brett Ashley.
The Sun Also Rises tracks the aftermath of the lives of men and women recently emerged from that calamity which we call World War I.

This seminal volume features 18 vignettes first published in 1924 and a further series of short stories first published in 1925.Commonly considered one of Ernest Hemingway's early masterpieces, In Our Time examines themes of war, death, violence, and romantic and familial love. Many of the short stories explore similar motifs to his later, much-loved novels, including The Sun Also Rises (1926). His experience of war is highlighted in the early vignettes, and his unique writing style, known as 'the theory of omission' or 'the iceberg theory', is evident throughout the volume.""Give peace in our time, O Lord"" - English Book of Common Prayer (1549)In Our Time features many remarkable short stories including:- 'The End of Something'- 'Soldier's Home'- 'The Revolutionist'- 'Mr. and Mrs. Elliot'- 'Out of Season'- 'Cross Country Snow'- 'My Old Man'First published in 1925, this volume has been republished with the introductory essay 'The Jazz Age Literature of the Lost Generation'. Fans of Ernest Hemingway and those interested in his seminal work should not miss this early collection of short stories.
Ernest Hemingway's first piece of long-form literature, The Torrents of Spring, is a satirical novella that the great American author wrote in just ten days and is a rare early example of his work.Set in small-town America in Northern Michigan, The Torrents of Spring follows two characters: a writer, Scripps O'Neill, and a Great War veteran, Yogi Johnson. Scripps represents the small-mindedness of suburban America and repeatedly falls in love with women who claim to have knowledge of literature, whereas Yogi has fought in the First World War, experienced a severe injury, and fallen in love in Paris. Throughout the novella, Yogi struggles to fall in love with someone new, and he represents the Lost Generation of Jazz Age literature.First published in 1926, The Torrents of Spring was intended to parody Sherwood Anderson's Dark Laughter (1925) and the modern realists of the Roaring 20s. It is an effective satire of these styles while maintaining hidden depths of meaning. Hemingway's novella is a highly entertaining and short book, which would make an excellent read for those who wish to begin collecting classic American literature.
