Patrick Hemingway Book order (chronological)

Unikátna publikácia vás prevedie životom slávneho amerického spisovateľa Ernesta Hemingwaya prostredníctvom dokumentov, fotografií a artefaktov, ktoré po sebe zanechal a ktoré sa stali zbierkovými predmetmi vďaka jeho synovi a vnukovi. Pre mnohých je Hemingway skôr mýtus než človek z mäsa a kostí. Bol vojakom, športovcom, vášnivým milencom a vynikajúcim spisovateľom, no aký bol jeho ozajstný život? Ako vyzeral ako usmiate dieťa či mladý muž v uniforme? Čo písal v osobných listoch a čo si poznamenával na cestovných lístkoch? Kniha odpovedá na tieto a ďalšie otázky, pričom zostavil ju správca Hemingwayovej pozostalosti Michael Katakis. Obsahuje predhovor jeho syna Patricka a doslov vnuka Seána, pričom rozpráva o živote velikána svetovej literatúry prostredníctvom predmetov, momentov a myšlienok, ktoré ho formovali. Ponúka vyše štyristo pôsobivých artefaktov, vrátane fotografií a úprimných listov, a vytvára doteraz nevídaný portrét geniálneho spisovateľa.

In 1918 Ernest Hemingway went to war, to the 'war to end all wars'. He volunteered for ambulance service in Italy, was wounded and twice decorated. Out of his experiences came A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway's description of war is unforgettable. He recreates the fear, the comradeship, the courage of his young American volunteer and the men and women he meets in Italy with total conviction. But A Farewell to Arms is not only a novel of war. In it Hemingway has also created a love story of immense drama and uncompromising passion.

Hemingway's memories of his life as an unknown writer living in Paris in the 1920s are deeply personal, warmly affectionate and full of wit. He recalls the time when, poor, happy and writing in cafes, he discovered his vocation.

Both a satire on the idle rich and a brutally realistic depiction of the desperate plight of the unemployed. Contrasts the underdogs of Key West with decadent socialites down for the winter season.

At the age of twenty-two, Ernest Hemingway wrote his first short story, "Up in Michigan." Seventeen years and forty-eight titles later, he was the undisputed master of the short-story form and the leading American man of letters. The Short Stories, introduced here with a revealing preface by the author, chronicles Hemingway's development as a writer, from his earliest attempts in the chapbook Three Stories and Ten Poems, published in Paris in 1923, to his more mature accomplishments in Winner Take Nothing. Originally published in 1938 along with The Fifth Column, this collection premiered "The Capital of the World" and "Old Man at the Bridge," which derive from Hemingway's experiences in Spain, as well as "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," which figure among the finest of Hemingway's short fictions.
