Author: Hemingway, Ernest

Condition: New

Classic short stories from a master of American fiction exploring relationships, war, and sportsmanship.First published in 1927, Men Without Women represents some of Hemingways most important and compelling early writing. In these fourteen stories, Hemingway begins to examine the themes that would occupy his later works: the casualties of war, the often-uneasy relationship between men and women, sports and sportsmanship. In Another Country tells of an Italian major recovering from war wounds as he mourns the untimely death of his wife. The Killers is the hard-edged story about two Chicago gunmen and their potential victim. Nick Adams makes an appearance in Ten Indians, in which he is presumably betrayed by his girlfriend, Prudence. And Hills Like White Elephants is a young couples subtle, heart-wrenching discussion about the future. Pared down, gritty, and subtly expressive, these stories show the young Hemingway emerging as one of Americas finest short story writers.
