The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Hemingway Library

The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Hemingway Library Collector's Edition

The fourth in the series of new annotated editions of Ernest Hemingwayâ‚¬s work, edited by the authorâ‚¬s grandson SeÂ¡n and introduced by his son Patrick, this collection includes the best of the well-known classics as well as unpublished stories, early drafts, and notes that provide fascinating insight into the writing process of one of Americaâ‚¬s greatest storytellers.

Ernest Hemingway is a cultural iconâ‚¬"an archetype of rugged masculinity, a romantic ideal of the intellectual in perpetual exileâ‚¬"but, to his countless readers, Hemingway remains a literary force much greater than his image. Of all of Hemingwayâ‚¬s canonical fictions, perhaps none demonstrate so forcefully the power of the authorâ‚¬s revolutionary style as his short stories. In classics like â‚¬Å“Hills like White Elephants,â‚¬Â â‚¬Å“The Snows of Kilimanjaro,â‚¬Â and â‚¬Å“The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber,â‚¬Â Hemingway shows us great literature compressed to its most potent essentials. We also see, in Hemingwayâ‚¬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.

This Collector's Edition of The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway presents many of Hemingwayâ‚¬s most famous classics alongside rare and unpublished material: Hemingwayâ‚¬s early drafts and correspondence, his dazzling out-of-print essay on the art of the short story, and two marvelous examples of his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, â‚¬Å“The Judgment of Manitou,â‚¬Â 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. Edited by Ernest Hemingwayâ‚¬s grandson, SeÂ¡n Hemingway, with an introduction by the authorâ‚¬s only surviving son, Patrick Hemingway, this Library Edition offers vital insight into the artistic development of one of the twentieth centuryâ‚¬s greatest writers. It is a perfect introduction for a new generation of Hemingway readers, and it is a vital edition in the collection of any true Hemingway fan.
