Synopsis
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., The definitive short story collection that established Ernest Hemingway's literary reputation, originally published in 1938. Ernest Hemingway is a cultural icon--an archetype of rugged masculinity, a romantic ideal of the intellectual in perpetual exile--but, to his countless readers, Hemingway remains a literary force much greater than his image. Of all of Hemingway's canonical fictions, perhaps none demonstrate so forcefully the power of the author's revolutionary style as his short stories. In classics like "Hills like White Elephants," "The Butterfly in the Tank," and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," Hemingway shows us great literature compressed to its most potent essentials. We also see, in Hemingway's short fiction, the tales that created the legend: these are stories of men and women in love and in war and on the hunt, stories of a lost generation born into a fractured time. The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway presents many of Hemingway's most famous classics alongside rare and unpublished material: Hemingway's early drafts and correspondence, his dazzling out-of-print essay on the art of the short story, and two marvelous examples of his earliest work--his first published story, "The Judgment of Manitou," which Hemingway wrote when still a high school student, and a never-before-published story, written when the author was recovering from a war injury in Milan after WWI. This work offers vital insight into the artistic development of one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. It is a perfect introduction for a new generation of Hemingway readers, and it belongs in the collection of any true Hemingway fan., Before he gained wide fame as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary reputation with his short stories.

    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 ...
