First published in 1925, In Our Time was Ernest Hemingway's first collection of short stories. These lucidly written and acutely insightful stories and vignettes of loss, war, separation, and grief heralded the themes Hemingway would master in his longer work and the pioneering writer he would go on to become. From stories about brutal reckonings and mournful homecomings to sketches about bullfighting, this collection is a must-read for both Hemingway fans and those who want to introduce themselves to the work of a great master.
Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist known for his distinctive writing style and portrayal of masculinity. His most notable works include "The Old Man and the Sea," "A Farewell to Arms," and "The Sun Also Rises." Hemingway's writing is characterized by its spare prose, realistic dialogue, and emphasis on themes of war, love, and loss. He is credited with revolutionizing the modern American novel and influencing generations of writers with his minimalist approach to storytelling. "The Old Man and the Sea," a novella about an aging fisherman's struggle with a marlin, remains one of Hemingway's most famous and enduring works, winning him the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and solidifying his reputation as a literary giant.
