A fascinating look at the history and grandeur of bullfighting, Death in the Afternoon is also a deeper contemplation on the nature of cowardice and bravery, sport and tragedy, and is enlivened throughout by Hemingway''s pungent commentary on life and literature. Seen through his eyes, bullfighting becomes an art, a richly choreographed ballet, with performers who range from awkward amateurs to masters of great grace and cunning.

But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining, and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused.''A collection of Hemingway''s first forty-nine short stories, featuring a brief introduction by the author and lesser known as well as familiar tales, including ''Up in Michigan'', ''Fifty Grand'', and ''The Light of the World'', and the Snows of Kilimanjaro, Winner Take Nothing'' and Men Without Women collections.

The definitive edition of the classic novel of love during wartime, featuring all of the alternate endings: “Fascinating…serves as an artifact of a bygone craft, with handwritten notes and long passages crossed out, giving readers a sense of an author’s process” (The New York Times). Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield—weary, demoralized men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and desertion—this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep.

Ernest Hemingway created a style of writing that captivated a generation. Owing as much to music as it did to literature, it had a tonality that resonated like a drumbeat. Its hypnotic, incantatory nature was birthed under the mentoring eyes of Gertrude Stein and James Joyce during his literary apprenticeship and buffeted with the journalistic machismo of the hard-living, hard-drinking man of action he became afterwards. Despite the acres of words that have been written by and about him, Hemingway continues to elude biographers with his complexity. His first wife, Hadley Richardson, said he was more complex than geometry. Aubrey Malone captures him in all his guises here—from boxer to braggart, hunter to hero, fisherman to ‘dangerous’ friend. In the end, when he bagged his last trophy with a self-administered bullet to the head, he went against the ‘grace under pressure’ credo that had defined him for so much of his life. Ernest Hemingway: Flawed Genius investigates the man behind the myth, a writer who was a mystery even to himself.

A collection of reflections on writing and the nature of the writer from one the greatest American writers of the 20th century.Throughout Hemingway’s career as a writer, he maintained that it was bad luck to talk about writing—that it takes off “whatever butterflies have on their wings and the arrangement of hawk’s feathers if you show it or talk about it.” Despite this belief, by the end of his life he had done just what he intended not to do. In his novels and stories, in letters to editors, friends, fellow artists, and critics, in interviews and in commissioned articles on the subject, Hemingway wrote often about writing. And he wrote as well and as incisively about the subject as any writer who ever lived… This book contains Hemingway’s reflections on the nature of the writer and on elements of the writer’s life, including specific and helpful advice to writers on the craft of writing, work habits, and discipline. The Hemingway personality comes through in general wisdom, wit, humor, and insight, and in his insistence on the integrity of the writer and of the profession itself. —From the Preface by Larry W. Phillips

Pro mnoho lidí představuje Ernest Hemingway spíše mozaiku mýtů než člověka: vojáka, sportovce, lovce, expatriota a samozřejmě spisovatele. Ale pod těmito legendami stále uniká jeho skutečný život. Jak vypadal jako rozesmátý kluk či mladý voják? Co psal ve svých nejdůvěrnějších dopisech? Jak ho změnily jízdenky, které držel v ruce cestou z Francie do Španělska nebo napříč americkým Středozápadem, a co si na těchto cestách zapisoval, aby to z toho později vznikla povídka nebo román? Ernest Hemingway – Svědectví jednoho života zodpoví tyto i mnohé další otázky. Celý svazek, s předmluvou Hemingwayova syna Patricka a doslovem jeho vnuka Seana, připravil správce Hemingwayovy pozůstalosti, který též napsal úvod. Tato bohatě vypravená kniha, osvětlující autorův život ze všech možných stran, vypráví příběh jeho nesmírně úspěšné spisovatelské dráhy prostřednictvím předmětů, jichž se dotýkal, okamžiků, které prožil, myšlenek, jež se mu každý den honily hlavou.

Hemingway''s captivating memoir of living in Paris during the twenties.''If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast''Hemingway''s memories of his life as an unknown writer living in Paris in the twenties are deeply personal, warmly affectionate and full of wit. Looking back not only at his own much younger self, but also at the other writers who shared Paris with him - James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald - he recalls the time when, poor, happy and writing in cafes, he discovered his vocation. Written during the last years of Hemingway''s life, his memoir is a lively and powerful reflection of his genius that scintillates with the romance of the city.''A short, perfect book... Exquisite'' Independent''Here is Hemingway at his best'' New York Times

Audiokniha: Lze najít za válečné vřavy skutečnou lásku? Milostný příběh amerického sanitního dobrovolníka a anglické ošetřovatelky odehrávající se na italské frontě během první světové války. Válečný román uchvacující další a další generace čtenářů. Velká válka zasáhla nejen Evropu, ale i Ameriku. Řada amerických dobrovolníků spěchala na evropská bojiště, mezi nimi i Ernest Hemingway. Své zážitky z italské fronty popsal v románu Sbohem, armádo! z roku 1929. Zachytil v něm příběh milostného vzplanutí amerického poručíka Frederika k anglické ošetřovatelce Catherine a současně rozpad dříve stabilních jistot. Více než samotný obraz války Hemingwaye zajímá osud konkrétního člověka, to, jak se mění v neznámých ohrožujících podmínkách a zda je schopen opravdové lásky. Protože za válečné vřavy se jistoty v mezilidských vztazích hledají těžko.

Men Without Women was a milestone in Hemingway''s career. Fiesta had already established him as a novelist of exceptional power, but with these short stories, his second collection, he showed that it is possible, within the space of a few pages, to recreate a scene with absolute truth, bringing to life details observed only by the eye of a uniquely gifted artist. Hemingway''s men are bullfighters and boxers, hired hands and hard drinkers, gangsters and gunmen. Each of their stories deals with masculine toughness unsoftened by woman''s hand. Incisive, hard-edged, pared down to the bare minimum, they are classic Hemingway territory - they helped establish him as one of the great literary authors of the twentieth century, and one of the best American authors of all time.
