Zijn werken, waaronder romans en korte verhalenbundels, worden beschouwd als hoekstenen van de Amerikaanse literatuur.







De prachtigste verhalen van Simon Carmiggelt, Hugo Claus, Ernest Hemingway en vele anderen
Verhalen van binnen- en buitenlandse schrijvers over Parijs.
Da Amerikaanse schrijver Ernest Hemingway (1898-1961) heeft door zijn manlijke sensitiviteit en zijn expressieve stijl een volstrekt eigen wereld geschapen, een wereld waarin de levensdrift op het menselijk tekort de overhand heeft. Op de na hem komende schrijvers heeft hij grote invloed uitgeoefend. In 1954 won hij de Nobelprijs voor letterkunde. "Wie wint krijgt niets" (Winner take nothing) toont de jonge Hemingway in zijn volle kracht. Het bevat korte schetsen, het genre waarin Hemingway onbetwist een van de grootste meesters van deze eeuw was. Zijn techniek, een uiterste vereenvoudiging van taal, gaat gepaard met de fijne gevoeligheid van de geboren schrijver, die erin slaagt sfeer én mensen met weinig woorden trefzeker weer te geven. "Wie wint krijgt niets" biedt een zeer gevarieerd beeld van Hemingways schrijverschap. Men vindt jeugdherinneringen, bittere schetsen uit de eerste wereldoorlog, verhalen met een zeer milde humor, en ook navrante en oneindig trieste beelden als dat van een Franse immigrantenfamilie. Maar steeds wordt men geboeid door Hemingways sublieme verteltalent.

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.

With broad appeal for scholars and students of twentieth-century literature, culture, journalism, creative writing, and general readers of this influential Nobel Laureate.
First published in 1923, "Three Stories and Ten Poems" marked the beginning of the fictional writing career of one of the world's most famous writers, Ernest Hemingway. This short collection is marked by the story "Out of Season" in which Hemingway employed autobiographical elements and his "theory of omission" or the "iceberg theory". Also included here in this edition is Hemingway's first novella, "The Torrents of Spring". Appearing a few months before his more commercially successful novel "The Sun Also Rises", this novella was first published in 1926. The story is set in Michigan and concerns the love lives of two men who work in a factory together. Both are seeking the perfect wife and both have varying degrees of success in their endeavors. These romantic dramas are a comical premise however, and Hemingway spends the bulk of the book making fun of the popular writers of his day in hilarious and witty fashion. Written as a parody of Sherwood Anderson's "Dark Laughter", Hemingway also spoofs the works of James Joyce, John Dos Passos, and D. H. Lawrence. Together these works show the early development of one of the most notable authors of the twentieth century. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

From one of the best writers in American literature, a classic novel about smuggling, intrigue, and love. To Have and Have Not is the dramatic story of Harry Morgan, an honest man who is forced into running contraband between Cuba and Key West as a means of keeping his crumbling family financially afloat. His adventures lead him into the world of the wealthy and dissipated yachtsmen who throng the region and involve him in a strange and unlikely love affair. In this harshly realistic, yet oddly tender and wise novel, Hemingway perceptively delineates the personal struggles of both the "haves" and the "have nots" and creates one of the most subtle and moving portraits of a love affair in his oeuvre. By turns funny and tragic, lively and poetic, remarkable in its emotional impact, To Have and Have Not is literary high adventure at its finest.

The last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, published posthumously in 1986, charts the life of a young American writer and his glamorous wife who fall for the same woman.A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Set on the Côte d'Azur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, and the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman. "A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, and strangely contemporary," The Garden of Eden represents vintage Hemingway, the master "doing what nobody did better" (R. Z. Sheppard, Time).
In 1959, Hemingway traveled to Spain to write three articles about bullfighting for "Life." This posthumously published text emerged during his late return to the country he cherished as a second home. The work captures his deep appreciation for the culture and the art of bullfighting, exploring themes of bravery, tradition, and the complex relationship between man and nature. Through vivid descriptions and personal reflections, Hemingway delves into the emotional and physical intensity of the bullfighting arena, revealing the profound impact it had on him. The narrative serves as both a tribute to the sport and a meditation on life, death, and the human experience, showcasing Hemingway's masterful prose and his enduring connection to Spain.
Featuring Hemingway's only full-length play, which--like the stories here--grew out of his experiences in and around a besieged Madrid, this volume brilliantly evokes the tumultuous years of the Spanish Civil War. These works, which grew from Hemingway's adventures as a newspaper correspondent in and around besieged Madrid, movingly portray the effects of war on soldiers, civilians, and the correspondents sent to cover it.
Inspired by Hemingway's adventures as a newspaper correspondent in Spain in the 1930s, The Fifth Column and Four Stories of the Spanish Civil War magnificently evokes life in a besieged city over a tumultuous decade.
When In Our Time was published in 1925, it was praised by Ford Madox Ford, John Dos Passos, and F. Scott Fitzgerald for its simple and precise use of language to convey a wide range of complex emotions, and it earned Hemingway a place beside Sherwood Anderson and Gertrude Stein among the most promising American writers of that period. In Our Time contains several early Hemingway classics, including the famous Nick Adams stories "Indian Camp," "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife," "The Three Day Blow," and "The Battler," and introduces readers to the hallmarks of the Hemingway style: a lean, tough prose--enlivened by an ear for the colloquial and an eye for the realistic that suggests, through the simplest of statements, a sense of moral value and a clarity of heart. Now recognized as one of the most original short story collections in twentieth-century literature, In Our Time provides a key to Hemingway's later works
Ernest Hemingway's classic portrait of the pageantry of bullfighting. 'I was trying to learn to write, commencing with the simplest things, and one of the simplest things of all and the most fundamental is violent death' This is Hemingway's classic portrait of the pageantry of bullfighting. Here are the sights, the sounds, the excitement, and above all, the knowledge, that fuelled Hemingway's passion for Spain and the bullfight. This remarkable book contains some of his finest writing, inspired by the intense life, as well as the inevitable death, of those hot, violent afternoons. 'Hemingway's style, at its best, is a superb vehicle for revealing tenderness of feeling beneath descriptions of brutality' Guardian
'If You Are Lucky Enough To Have Lived In Paris As A Young Man, Then Wherever You Go For The Rest Of Your Life, It Stays With You, For Paris Is A Moveable Feast.'Hemingway'S Memories Of His Life As An Unknown Writer Living In Paris In The 1920S Are Deeply Personal, Warmly Affectionate And Full Of Wit. Looking Back Not Only At His Own Much Younger Self, But Also At The Other Writers Who Shared Paris With Him - Literary 'Stars' Like James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, Scott And Zelda Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound And Gertrude Stein - He Recalls The Time When, Poor, Happy And Writing In Cafes, He Discovered His Vocation.
"The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" is a short story set in Africa. It was published in the September 1936 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine concurrently with "The Snows of Kilimanjaro."
The snows of Kilimanjaro and other short stories.
Green Hills of Africa is Ernest Hemingway's lyrical journal of a month on safari in the great game country of East Africa, where he and his wife Pauline journeyed in December 1933. Hemingway's well-known interest in - and fascination with - big-game hunting is magnificently captured in this evocative account of his trip. It is an examination of the lure of the hunt and an impassioned portrait of the glory of the African landscape and of the beauty of a wilderness that was, even then, being threatened by the incursions of man.
CLASSIC SHORT STORIES FROM THE MASTER OF AMERICAN FICTION First published in 1927, Men Without Women represents some of Hemingway's 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, sport and sportsmanship. In "Banal Story," Hemingway offers a lasting tribute to the famed matador Maera. "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 Indian girlfriend, Prudence. And "Hills Like White Elephants" is a young couple's subtle, heartwrenching discussion of abortion. Pared down, gritty, and subtly expressive, these stories show the young Hemingway emerging as America's finest short story writer.
The collection features two stories and ten poems, showcasing Hemingway's early work after the loss of his original manuscripts in 1922. "Up in Michigan" stands out for its controversial exploration of sexuality, prompting ongoing debates about gender and emotional understanding in literature. Esteemed figures like Gertrude Stein and Edna O'Brien have commented on its impact, highlighting Hemingway's nuanced portrayal of women's emotions. This debut work reflects the distinctive style of one of the twentieth century's most significant writers.
The basis for the forties film classic starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, To Have and Have Not is the dramatic, brutal story of Harry Morgan and his shady efforts to keep his family at least on the crest of the "have nots" by running contraband between Key West and Cuba. Harshly realistic, yet with one of the most subtle and moving relationships in the Hemingway oeuvre, it goes beyond high adventure. As The Times [London] Literary Supplement observed, "Hemingway's gift for dialogue, for effective understatement, and for communicating such emotions the tough allow themselves, has never been more conspicuous."
Both a satire on the idle rich and a brutally realistic depiction of the desperate plight of the unemployed. Contrasts the underdogs of Key West with decadent socialites down for the winter season.
Een bitter liefdesidylle, waarvoor geen uitkomst is, tussen een kolonel in het Amerikaanse leger die in beide wereldoorlogen heeft gevochten, en een jonge Venetiaanse contessa.
Ernest Hemingway never wished to be widely known as a poet. He concentrated on writing short stories and novels, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1956. But his poetry deserves close attention, if only because it is so revealing. Through verse he expressed anger and disgust—at Dorothy Parker and Edmund Wilson, among others. He parodied the poems and sensibilities of Rudyard Kipling, Joyce Kilmer, Robert Graves, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Gertrude Stein. He recast parts of poems by the likes of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, giving them his own twist. And he invested these poems with the preoccupations of his novels: sex and desire, battle and aftermath, cats, gin, and bullfights. Nowhere is his delight in drubbing snobs and overrefined writers more apparent. In this revised edition of the Complete Poems , the editor, Nicholas Gerogiannis, offers here an afterword assessing the influence of the collection, first published in 1979, and an updated bibliography. Readers will be particularly interested in the addition of "Critical Intelligence," a poem written soon after Hemingway's divorce from his first wife in 1927. Also available as a Bison Book: Hemingway's Quarrel with Androgyny by Mark Spilka.
A Romantic Novel in Honour of the Passing of a Great Race
An early gem from the greatest American writer of the 20th century, The Torrents of Spring is a hilarious parody of the Chicago school of literature. Poking fun at that "great race" of writers, it depicts a vogue that Hemingway himself refused to follow. In style & substance, The Torrents of Spring is a burlesque of Sherwood Anderson's Dark Laughter, but in the course of the narrative, other literary tendencies associated with American & British writers akin to Anderson--such as D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce & John Dos Passos--come in for satirical comment. A highly entertaining story, The Torrents of Spring offers a rare glimpse into Hemingway's early career as a storyteller & stylist.

MOST LOVED. MOST RED. Ten must-read modern classics. 'But man is not made for defeat, he said. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.' In the baking sun, in a small village off the coast of Havana, lives an old fisherman named Santiago. It has been eighty-four days since he last caught a fish. The locals call it bad luck. Refusing to accept defeat, Santiago sets off in his tiny skiff alone, fishing further out than ever before. It is here, over a number of days, that he, his will and his character are tested beyond imagination. Faced with bad weather, hunger and thirst, the old man finds himself in battle with a giant marlin, a fish bigger than any to have been caught before. Nature is not kind and gentle in this fable, nor is Hemingway. You hold in your hands one of the very best pieces of writing to have ever been created.
New illustrations catapult this timeless classic by Ernest Hemingway into the twenty-first century with vigor. For nearly a century, The Sun Also Rises has endured as one of Hemingway’s masterworks, and is widely regarded as a prime example of the great American writer’s pioneering style and form. His first major novel explores powerful themes like masculinity and male insecurity, sex and love, and the effects of a brutal war on an aimless generation. This roman à clef is based on the real experiences and relationships Hemingway had in the early 1920s. Set predominantly in France and Spain, the novel follows a group of disillusioned aimless expats tooling around post-war Europe, living hard, drinking heavily, and having complicated sordid love affairs. The novel is told from the perspective of Jake Barnes, a World War II vet turned journalist living in Paris, who is still in love with his former flame, the eccentric and charismatic Lady Brett Ashley. Meanwhile, Jake's friend, author Robert Cohn, becomes tired of his oppressive marriage and sets off to seek out adventure, becoming enamored with Brett himself. They all eventually drift from the glitz and glamour of 1920s Paris to Pamplona, Spain, where they revel in the rawness of bullfights and alcohol-fueled parties, eventually devolving into jealousy and violent drama. This leads to Jake coming to a stark realization—that he can never be with the woman he truly loves.
