The fourth in the series of new annotated editions of Ernest Hemingwayâs work, edited by the authorâs grandson Seán and introduced by his son Patrick, this âilluminatingâ (The Washington Post) collection includes the best of the well-known classics as well as unpublished stories, early drafts, and notes that âoffer insight into the mind and methods of one of the greatest practitioners of the story formâ (Kirkus Reviews).
Ernest Hemingway is a cultural iconâan archetype of rugged masculinity, a romantic ideal of the intellectual in perpetual exileâbut, to his countless readers, Hemingway remains a literary force much greater than his image. Of all of Hemingwayâs canonical fictions, perhaps none demonstrate so forcefully the power of the authorâs revolutionary style as his short stories. In classics like âHills like White Elephants,â âThe Butterfly in the Tank,â and âThe Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber,â Hemingway shows us great literature compressed to its most potent essentials. We also see, in Hemingwayâs short fiction, the tales that created the legend: these are stories of men and women in love and in war and on the hunt, stories of a lost generation born into a fractured time.
The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway presents many of Hemingwayâs most famous classics alongside rare and unpublished material: Hemingwayâs early drafts and correspondence, his dazzling out-of-print essay on the art of the short story, and two marvelous examples of his earliest workâhis first published story, âThe Judgment of Manitou,â which Hemingway wrote when still a high school student, and a never-before-published story, written when the author was recovering from a war injury in Milan after WWI. This work offers vital insight into the artistic development of one of the twentieth centuryâs greatest writers. It is a perfect introduction for a new generation of Hemingway readers, and it belongs in the collection of any true Hemingway fan.
