Loading... The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway (1987)by Ernest Hemingway
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.). no reviews | add a review ContainsThe First Forty-Nine Stories by Ernest Hemingway In Our Time by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Men Without Women by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) In Another Country [short fiction] by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Killers by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Che Ti Dice La Patria? by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) 50000 dollars by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) A Simple Enquiry by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) A Canary For One by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) An Alpine Idyll by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) A Pursuit Race by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Today Is Friday by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Banal Story by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Now I Lay Me by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Winner Take Nothing by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Short Happy Life of Frances Macomber by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Snows of Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Old Man At The Bridge by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Indian Camp by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Big Two-Hearted River by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Up In Michigan by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) On The Quai At Smyrna by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Doctor And The Doctor's Wife by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The End of Something by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Three-Day Blow by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Battler by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) A Very Short Story by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Soldier's Home by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Mr. And Mrs. Elliot by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Revolutionist by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Cat In The Rain by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Out Of Season by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Cross-Country Snow by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) My Old Man by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) After The Storm by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Clean Well Lighted Place (Creative Short Stories) by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Light Of The World by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) God Rest You Merry Gentlemen. by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Sea Change by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) A Way You'll Never Be by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Mother Of A Queen by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) One Reader Writes by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Homage To Switzerland by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) A Day's Wait by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) A Natural History Of The Dead by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Wine Of Wyoming by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) The Gambler, The Nun, And The Radio by Ernest Hemingway (indirect) Fathers And Sons by Ernest Hemingway (indirect)
