"His prose is of first distinction," declared critic Edmund Wilson of Hemingway upon the 1923 publication of Three Stories and Ten Poems, the author's first foray into the literary world. These short stories ("Up in Michigan," "Out of Season," and "My Old Man") and their accompanying poems captured the attention of other influential critics as well, anticipating the future Nobel Laureate's emergence as a prominent voice of the Modernist movement.

A member of the expatriate Lost Generation circle, Hemingway cultivated a larger-than-life image of vigorous masculinity complemented by an intense sensitivity.

In 1937, courageous and independent Martha Gellhorn travels to Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War, and finds herself drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in devastating conflict. She also finds herself unexpectedly - and uncontrollably - falling in love with Ernest Hemingway, a man already on his way to being a legend. In the shadow of the impending Second World War, and set against the tumultuous backdrops of Madrid, Finland, China, and especially Cuba, where Martha and Hemingway made their home, their relationship and professional careers ignite. But when Hemingway publishes the biggest literary success of his career, they are no longer equals, and Martha must make a choice: surrender to the suffocating demands of a domestic lifestyle, or risk losing her husband by forging her way as her own woman and writer. It is a dilemma that will force her to break his heart, and her own.

Книгу, которую вы держите в руках, Эрнест Хемингуэй никогда не писал. Вернее, писал, но не как единое целое. В течение многих лет из-под его пера вышло довольно много рассказов, объединенных одним главным героем - Ником Адамсом. Ник очень близок автору, а истории из его жизни - это, во многом, жизнь, мысли и чувства самого Хемингуэя. И вот в 1972 году была предпринята попытка собрать все эти рассказы под одной обложкой, разместив в хронологическом порядке. В результате получилась книга взросления, где жизнь главного героя прослеживается с самого детства и до зрелых лет, мы видим развитие личности, становление цельного характера. В предлагаемом издании содержится неадаптированный текст рассказов, снабженный комментариями и словарем. Подготовка текста, комментарии и словарь Ю.В. Князькиной.

From Ernest Hemingway's Preface: 'There are many kinds of stories in this book. I hope you will find some that you like - In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining, and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused.' This is a collection of Hemingway's first forty-nine short stories, featuring a brief introduction by the author and lesser known as well as familiar tales, including "Up in Michigan", "Fifty Grand", and "The Light of the World", and the "Snows of Kilimanjaro", "Winner Take Nothing" and "Men Without Women" collections.
