A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“Illuminating . . . to read it is to be shocked again by the fecundity of his genius. Writing one story that takes root in literary history is remarkable, but here is classic after classic.” (Ron Charles, The Washington Post)

"Essential for students of modern literature, offering insight into the mind and methods of one of the greatest practitioners of the story form. Essential for students of modern literature, offering insight into the mind and methods of one of the greatest practitioners of the story form."  (Kirkus)

“Illuminating. . . it is undeniably fascinating to see how Hemingway swapped one word for another, or sliced and diced sentences.”  (Christian Science Monitor)

“An essential book for consumers and aesthetes.” (Idaho Statesman)

“Serves as a fine introduction to readers unfamiliar with Hemingway... [and] also makes a fine addition to the libraries of Ernest Hemingway’s many admirers.”  (Washington Times)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

At the age of twenty-two, Ernest Hemingway wrote his first short story, "Up in Michigan." Seventeen years and forty-eight titles later, he was the undisputed master of the short-story form and the leading American man of letters. The Short Stories, introduced here with a revealing preface by the author, chronicles Hemingway's development as a writer, from his earliest attempts in the chapbook Three Stories and Ten Poems, published in Paris in 1923, to his more mature accomplishments in Winner Take Nothing. Originally published in 1938 along with The Fifth Column, this collection premiered "The Capital of the World" and "Old Man at the Bridge," which derive from Hemingway's experiences in Spain, as well as "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," which figure among the finest of Hemingway's short fictions.
