Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.'-Ernest Hemingway, Indian Camp (1924)In Our Time (1925) is Ernest Hemingway's first collection of short stories published in the United States. A rewrite by the author of the 1924 French publication of the same name, it includes fifteen stories, two of which feature Nick Adams, Hemingway's autobiographical character who is a child in Indian Camp (1924) and a young man in The Three Day Blow (1925). The stories utilize the iceberg theory, a term coined by Hemingway, meaning a minimalist approach of focusing on surface elements without exposing themes hidden in subtext. A definitive collection of Hemingway's recurring themes of alienation, grief, and loss, this is a volume worthy of the term 'masterpiece.'.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Money brings no satisfaction if one has to work for it; for if one works for it one has no time to spend it.'-Aldous Huxley, Those Barren Leaves (1925)Those Barren Leaves (1925) is a satirical novel by Aldous Huxley, the title of which comes from William Wordworth's poem The Tables Turned (1798): 'Enough of Science and of Art; Close up those barren leaves; Come forth, and bring with you a heart; That watches and receives.' The plot centers on protagonist Mrs. Aldwinkle, who invites guests to a Renaissance-like soiree, only to have her desire for the perfect event dashed. Reminiscent of Huxley's Crome Yellow (1921, also available from Cosimo Classics), the author's skewering of the superficial and pretentious is witty and engaging no matter the time period.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'So the choice is not between one way for the Negro and another way for the rest, but between American institutions frustrated on the one hand and American ideals progressively fulfilled and realized on the other.'-Alain Locke, The New Negro (1925)The New Negro (1925) edited by Alain Locke is an anthology of fiction, poetry, and essays by artists who shaped the Harlem Renaissance such as W.E.B. du Bois, Walter Francis White, and Zora Neale Hurston, to name a few.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.' -F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (1925)The Great Gatsby (1925) stands as the quintessential literary achievement of F. Scott Fitzgerald's career and is often referred to as a Great American Novel. The plot focuses on wealthy yet tragic Jay Gatsby and his pursuit of socialite Daisy Buchanan, as told through the eyes of narrator Nick, a common Midwesterner. As the story unfolds with scenes of parties, drunkenness, and infidelity, Fitzgerald's critical commentary on the lavishness, hedonism, and rebellion of The Jazz Age becomes evident. This literary classic is a must-read (or a read again) for fans of Fitzgerald and literary classics.…
