The Short Stories/the First Forty-Nine Stories With a Brief Preface by the Author: The First Forty-Nine Stories With a Brief Introduction by the Author [Anglais] [Broché]

The eighteen stories in this collection provide wonderful examples of Hemingway's spare style. Stories like "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" are full of tremendous emotion just barely restrained, and so is Stacy Keach's voice as he reads them. Every word, and every pause, is full of meaning, with the result often feeling more like a one-man dramatization than a simple reading. Hemingway was deeply concerned with what it means to be a man, and Keach's powerfully masculine tones fit the stories perfectly. When he reads "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," one can hear the mix of strength, pride, and doubt that defined Hemingway.

At the age of twenty-two, Ernest Hemingway wrote his first short story, "Up in Michigan." Seventeen years and forty-eight titles later, he was the undisputed master of the short-story form and the leading American man of letters. The Short Stories, introduced here with a revealing preface by the author, chronicles Hemingway's development as a writer, from his earliest attempts in the chapbook Three Stories and Ten Poems, published in Paris in 1923, to his more mature accomplishments in Winner Take Nothing. Originally published in 1938 along with The Fifth Column, this collection premiered "The Capital of the World" and "Old Man at the Bridge," which derive from Hemingway's experiences in Spain, as well as "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," which figure among the finest of Hemingway's short fictions.
