The companion volume to the bestselling Hemingway on Fishing Ernest Hemingway's lifelong zeal for the hunting life is reflected in his masterful works of fiction, from his famous account of an African safari in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" to passages about duck hunting in Across the River and Into the Trees. For Hemingway, hunting was more than just a passion; it was a means through which to explore our humanity and man's relationship to nature. Courage, awe, respect, precision, patience -- these were the virtues that Hemingway honored in the hunter, and his ability to translate these qualities into prose has produced some of the strongest accounts of sportsmanship of all time.
Hemingway on Hunting offers the full range of Hemingway's writing about the hunting life. With selections from his best-loved novels and stories, along with journalistic pieces from such magazines as Esquire and Vogue, this spectacular collection is a must-have for anyone who has ever tasted the thrill of the hunt -- in person or on the page.
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 famously said that he rewrote the ending to "A
Farewell to Arms "thirty-nine times to get the words right. This
edition collects all of the alternative endings together for the
first time, along with early drafts of other essential passages,
offering new insight into Hemingway's craft and creative process
and the evolution of one of the greatest novels of the twentieth
century. Featuring Hemingway's own 1948 introduction to an
illustrated reissue of the novel, a personal foreword by the
author's son Patrick Hemingway, and a new introduction by the
author's grandson Sean Hemingway, this edition of "A Farewell to
Arms "is truly a celebration.

the great writer's most beloved and enduring works: his classic
memoir of Paris in the 1920s.

his first wife Hadley. Also included are irreverent portraits of
other literary luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford
Maddox Ford, and insightful recollections of Hemingway's own early
experiments with his craft.
