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.

Begun in the autumn of 1957 and published posthumously in 1964, this work captures the essence of being young, poor, and writing in Paris during the 1920s. Arriving in Paris in 1921 as a correspondent for the Toronto Star, Hemingway found himself amidst a cultural transformation following the Great War. The era was marked by the innovations of Braque and Picasso in cubism, Joyce's completion of Ulysses, and Stein's influential gatherings at 27 Rue de Fleurus, where she recognized Hemingway as part of a lost generation. During these formative years, he collected material for his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, and the masterpieces that followed. The narrative features poignant sketches of his eclectic circle of artists and writers, some destined for fame while others faded into obscurity. It also vividly evokes the Paris that shaped him—a map of streets, cafes, and bookshops where he, often battling cold and hunger, refined his craft. This work serves as both an elegy to the vibrant expatriate community of the twenties and a reflection on the trials and triumphs of the writing life.

In 1918 Ernest Hemingway went to war, to the 'war to end all wars'. He volunteered for ambulance service in Italy, was wounded and twice decorated. Out of his experiences came A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway's description of war is unforgettable. He recreates the fear, the comradeship, the courage of his young American volunteer and the men and women he meets in Italy with total conviction. But A Farewell to Arms is not only a novel of war. In it Hemingway has also created a love story of immense drama and uncompromising passion.

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.
