Аннотация
Before he gained wide fame as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary reputation with his short stories. This collection, The Short Stories, originally published in 1938, is definitive. Among these forty-nine short stories are Hemingway's earliest efforts, written when he was a young foreign correspondent in Paris, and such masterpieces as "e;Hills Like White Elephants,"e; "e;The Killers,"e; "e;The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber,"e; and "e;The Snows of Kilimanjaro."e; Set in the varied landscapes of Spain, Africa, and the American Midwest, this collection traces the development and maturation of Hemingway's distinct and revolutionary storytelling style -- from the plain, bald language of his first story, "e;Up in Michigan,"e; to the seamless prose and spare, eloquent pathos of "e;A Clean, Well-Lighted Place"e; to the expansive solitude of the Big Two-Hearted River stories. These stories showcase the singular talent of a master, the most important American writer of the twentieth century.
