I went to a large bookshop today in order to get a bunch of books from my to-obtain shelf.

I returned with this.

*sigh*

I have a TBR problem.

His best work. This is where his true legacy resides. ( )

In spite of its title, this collection published in 1987 does not include all of Hemingway’s short stories. With the possible exception of some of the Nick Adams stories—that were published in a separate volume in 1972—the stories not included are probably not among Hemingway’s best, however. For the most complete compendium of the short stories to date, there is a 1995 volume introduced by James Fenton and published in the United Kingdom by Random House.

This Finca Vigía edition is certainly more readily available in the United States and it does provide one place for all of Hemingway’s best known and valued short stories.

A collection of short stories, not all of the same level, but most of them show that Hemingway was a master of the short story.
Having all these stories together does however show that Hemingway's subject matter was not always that diverse, but still it's a worthwhile read.
Stories that really stand out to me are "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber", "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", "Soldier's Home", "Up in Michigan", "Fifty Grand" and "The Gambler, the Nun, and the Radio". But everybody will probably find a favourite amongst these stories, as there's not one that really stands out in a negative way. ( )

Here we have the best collection of Short Stories by Ernest Hemingway. I don't have any complaints about this book. The best part about it is probably the fact that it separates the stories collected in his lifetime in the first half (the cream of the crop) from juvenilia, uncollected stories, fragments and manuscripts, and posthumous publications (not the top of his work). It may not make for a totally even ride through and through, but featured among these stories are some of the best writings of the author's entire career ("Hills Like White Elephants", "Snows of Kilimanjaro", "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber", "Indian Camp", etc.).
