Publisher's Summary

Before he gained wide fame as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary reputation with his short stories. Set in the varied landscapes of Spain, Africa, and the American Midwest, this definitive audio collection traces the development and maturation of Hemingway's distinct and revolutionary storytelling style - from the plain bald language of his first story to his mastery of seamless prose that contained a spare, eloquent pathos, as well as a sense of expansive solitude.

    nervous about the narration but they nailed it.

    I knew the book was going to great as I've read the paper version many times. I was concerned the narration would ruin it but it was spot on. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is one of my new favorite listens.

    Raw unbridled Hemingway

    Damn you Ernest. Even when contained to a few pages, your stories say so much with so little. It's truly the short hand of Hemigway that captures the emotionaly raw dissonance of the North American Male mind. I both lament it's passing and at the same time am grateful my generation has been freed from his era's social shackles. Brilliant rich and emotive reading too. the music interludes caught my reflecting mind a few times as well.
