The Collected Stories: Ernest Hemingway (Everyman’s Library Contemporary Classics)

An essential for anyones book collection, not to mention the beautiful design of the covers. The pages are those wafer thin ones you get in expensive dictionaries. The stories win the main prize, however; Hemingway is a cornerstone of American literature.

Brought this as a present for my husband and he has really enjoyed it. He takes it with him when he's only got time for a quick read.

Nice to gift, good selection of stories.

Iam please with my purchase

This is the first time I read Hemingway. This edition of all his short stories seems quite complete, and accompanied with a very good introduction that explains the layout of the book. I would recommend this book to all those that, like me, are interested in having a good experience reading an American classic.

I bought this as a gift for a friend that I'm teaching English to as he loves this writer and has only read his books in Greek.

was recommend to read some of his work by a friend and i enjoyed this very much

Collectors item

It is a wonderful addition to my library of classic literature. The quality binding ensures its long life. This Everyman's Library edition has dedicated a few pages of biographical information of Hemingway. Included in this collection are short stories of his less famous works.

Quería tener lo cuentos de Hemingway en la lengua original, inglés, y casi nada mejor que esta pulcra y elegante edición en tapa dura de Everyman's Library CLASSICS. Es de segunda mano, con la consiguiente rebaja del precio, pero está prácticamente nuevo.

作品の選択は大体いいと感じました。もともと実験的な作家だったのだ、と思っていました。

I wanted to buy all (or most) of Hemingway's short stories. After much research and perusing, I discovered this edition, which is the best. It's Everyman Library, so the paper and binding are good. And the stories are ground and arranged in order of publication, which I like. The introduction, bibliography, and chronology are also particularly good, even for Everyman. The sections are also interspersed with facsimile reproductions of the covers of the first editions of the original publications. If you are a completest, this book doesn't contain every short story he ever wrote, for that you should turn to The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition. However, I believe that this Everyman edition has everything by Hemingway that you should want to read. The selections are skillfully made and, in my opinion, nothing of worth was left out here. The Finca Vigia Edition is also paperback. If you want all of Hemingway's *good* short stories in a quality edition, with excellent supplemental material, this is for you.

Solider buy for 727. Book intact. No damage.
