Book Overview

by Ernest Hemingway (Author)

"But she might hold him. That was all that mattered now. To hold him. To hold him. Not to let him go. Make him stay."

-Ernest Hemingway, The Torrents of Spring (1926)


The Torrents of Spring (1926) by Ernest Hemingway is an amusing parody that pokes fun at the writers of the time, namely Hemingway's friend, Sherwood Anderson and his novel, Dark Laughter (1925). The plot centers on the perfect woman and the attempt by the two main characters, Yogi Johnson and Scripps O'Neill to find her. This first long work of Hemingway was received with mixed reviews by his critics and compatriots; F. Scott Fitzgerald dubbed it a masterpiece. This novella is a rare glimpse into the humorous side of Hemingway and a must-read for fans of the author and parodies.

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.
