Hemingway's Complete Short Stories is a man-book. ( )

I have read most if not all of the individual collections so this is largely a re-read that picks up any stray stories that I missed. ( )
  ChrisMcCaffrey | Apr 6, 2021 |
One of my very first purchases after I discovered the likes of bookstores such as Borders and B&N. Great writing from a true master. The physical sensation of handling a book – the weight of it, the crispness of the pages, the particular smell... I'll never own an e-reader. ( )

Nice, crisp language, beautiful dialogs. When I was young I thought it was great. Now, I'm not so sure. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
(Foreword) When Papa and Marty first rented in 1940 the Finca Vigía which was to be his home for the next twenty-two years until his death, there was still a real country on the south side.
(Publisher's Preface) There has long been a need for a complete and up-to-date edition of the short stories of Ernest Hemingway.
(Preface to "The First Forty-nine") The first four stories are the last ones I have written. The others follow in the order in which they were originally published.
Quotations
Last words
Disambiguation notice
The Finca Vigía edition collects all the stories Hemingway published in his lifetime, those published posthumously, and seven that are appearing in print for the first time (altogether 70 stories).
