Product Description
Book Description
A collection of Hemingway's first forty-nine short stories, featuring a brief introduction by the author and lesser known as well as familiar tales
Product Description
From Ernest Hemingway's Preface: 'There are many kinds of stories in this book. I hope you will find some that you like- In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining, and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused.'
A collection of Hemingway's first forty-nine short stories, featuring a brief introduction by the author and lesser known as well as familiar tales, including 'Up in Michigan', 'Fifty Grand', and 'The Light of the World', and the Snows of Kilimanjaro, Winner Take Nothing'and Men Without Women collections.

Format:Paperback
The father of modern realism, Hemingway's skill can really be seen in this collection not just of short stories, but also of chapters from books never published and paragraphs standing alone. If you've never read any Hemingway I cannot recommend him enough. He developed a style, that for the reader is closer to experiencing action, than being told a story. For me he is the original 'show not tell' writer. And in addition, his short stories and novels just make a brilliantly, gripping read.

The collection of stories in this book are an eclectic mix that are inspired from the different places and expriences Hemingway had along his travels. The short stories are a good place to start with Hemingway I think so you can become used to the style before embarking on a novel. Quirky, thought provoking and quite rude in some parts! Good stuff actually.

Beautifully written, this was the first Hemmingway book I have read and it was the perfect introduction to his style.
