A gorgeous new centennial edition of Ernest Hemingway’s landmark
short story of returning veteran Nick Adams’s solo fishing trip
in Michigan’s rugged Upper Peninsula, illustrated with specially
commissioned artwork by master engraver Chris Wormell and featuring
a revelatory foreword by John N. Maclean. "The finest story of the
outdoors in American literature." —Sports Illustrated A century
since its publication in the collection In Our Time, “Big
Two-Hearted River” has helped shape language and literature in
America and across the globe, and its magnetic pull continues to
draw readers, writers, and critics. The story is the best early
example of Ernest Hemingway’s now-familiar writing style: short
sentences, punchy nouns and verbs, few adjectives and adverbs, and
a seductive cadence. Easy to imitate, difficult to match. The
subject matter of the story has inspired generations of writers to
believe that fly fishing can be literature. More than any of his
stories, it depends on his ‘iceberg theory’ of literature, the
notion that leaving essential parts of a story unsaid, the
underwater portion of the iceberg, adds to its power. Taken in
context with his other work, it marks Hemingway’s passage from
boyish writer to accomplished author: nothing big came before it,
novels and stories poured out after it. —from the foreword by
John N. Maclean
