Book Overview

by Ernest Hemingway (Author)

"He is strikingly original, and in the dry compressed little vignettes of In Our Time has

almost invented a form of his own." - Edmund Wilson."The Sun Also Rises is Hemingway's first and best novel." - Robert McCrum, The Guardian."The delightful entertainment of The Torrents of Spring... is full-blooded comedy, with a sting of satire." - The New York Times."Hemingway remodelled American short fiction." - Michael Reynolds (Hemingway biographer) Ernest Hemingway: Selected Works is a brilliantly varied collection. Three Stories and Ten Poems was Hemingway's first book; critic Edmund Wilson describes the writing as of "the first distinction;" biographer James Mellow considers it one of Hemingway's early masterpieces. Hemingway remodelled American short fiction; In Our Time is one of the most important twentieth-century collections of short stories. The Sun Also Rises, perhaps Hemingway's best novel, perfectly captures the period between World War I and the Great Depression. It made Hemingway a celebrity. Young women began to emulate Brett, the heroine, while male students at Ivy League universities wanted to become "Hemingway heroes." The Torrents of Spring, a comedy, sets out to amuse, and this it does. Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 - July 2, 1961) was an American journalist, novelist, short-story writer, and hunter. He was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature for "his mastery of the art of narrative ... and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style." His economical and understated style-using what he termed "the iceberg theory" or "the theory of omission"-has had a strong influence on twentieth-century fiction. Many of his novels are considered classics of American literature. Writer Richard Ford calls Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Faulkner "the Three Kings who set the measure for every writer since."

About Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.
