Synopsis

In Hemingways Stories um den Helden Nick Adams lauert überall der Tod: Wenn Nick von einem fahrenden Güterzug gestoßen wird, wenn er von einem Preisboxer beinah zusammengeschlagen wird oder wenn er Zeuge wird, wie zwei eiskalte Killer auf ihr Opfer warten, stets geht es um Grenzerfahrungen des Lebens. In den kargen, kühlen Beobachtungen dieser Stories werden Lust und Schmerz des Daseins erfahrbar. Sie gehören zum Kern des literarischen Werks von Ernest Hemingway.
Der vorliegende Band vereinigt sämtliche Nick Adams Stories, erweitert um acht im Nachlaß entdeckte Geschichten.
