      Fiesta fue escrita en 1926 y es la primera gran novela de Ernest Hemingway. En ella nos describe la historia de una serie de personajes pertenecientes a la llamada generacion perdida del periodo de entreguerras en sus viajes por Francia y Espana. Muerte en la tarde es una descripcion magistral de una corrida de toros vista desde los ojos de un profano a la par que un ensayo profundo sobre el arte del riesgo y la estrecha relacion entre vida y crueldad. El verano peligroso relata los mano a mano de Antonio Ordonez y Luis Miguel Dominguin por los ruedos de Espana en el calido verano de 1959. En este estuche presentamos las tres obras que Hemingway dedico al arte de Cuchares y que reflejan la evolucion de su fascinacion por desde sus primeras visitas a los sanfermines hasta la cercania a los grandes maestros del toreo contemporaneo.

      Historia de amor conmovedora en medio de la tormenta de la guerra. El teniente americano Frederic Henry sirve en el cuerpo de ambulancias del ejército italiano durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Estacionado en el norte de Italia, conoce a la hermosa enfermera inglesa Catherine Barkley y se enamora de ella. Sin embargo, su apasionado romance se ve ensombrecido por las atrocidades de la guerra. Frederic se dirige al frente con un pequeño grupo, que pierde durante la ofensiva, y debe decidir si desertar o morir. ¿Puede esperar un golpe de suerte en tiempos tan oscuros? En "Adiós a las armas", Hemingway se inspira en sus propias experiencias bélicas. En esta cautivadora prosa semi-autobiográfica, retrata las crudas realidades de la guerra, su sinsentido y la brutalidad sin razón, así como el sufrimiento de los amantes atrapados en fuerzas superiores a los deseos individuales. El retrato del protagonista refleja la soledad y la desilusión de la "generación perdida", aquellos que alcanzaron la adultez durante la Primera Guerra Mundial.

      La publicación de "Fiesta" en el año 1927 hizo que Hemingway se transformara en una especie de embajador del toreo para los medios norteamericanos, quienes se confiaban a su escritura para conocer más en profundidad las intimidades de la fiesta taurina gracias a sus reportajes y novelas. Dentro de su producción literaria en 1932 se dio continuidad con "Muerte en la tarde", que además de ser una descripción técnica y minuciosa de una corrida vista desde los ojos de un profano, un ensayo sin concesiones sobre el arte del riesgo y la estrecha relación entre vida y crueldad, también retoma, una vez más, al tema que cohesiona su obra: el sentimiento trágico de la vida y el instinto de autodestrucción.

      First published in 1970, nine years after Ernest Hemingway's death, Islands in the Stream is the story of an artist and adventurer — a man much like Hemingway himself. Rich with the uncanny sense of life and action characteristic of his writing — from his earliest stories (In Our Time) to his last novella (The Old Man and the Sea) — this compelling novel contains both the warmth of recollection that inspired A Moveable Feast and a rare glimpse of Hemingway's rich and relaxed sense of humor, which enlivens scene after scene. Beginning in the 1930s, Islands in the Stream follows the fortunes of Thomas Hudson from his experiences as a painter on the Gulf Stream island of Bimini, where his loneliness is broken by the vacation visit of his three young sons, to his antisubmarine activities off the coast of Cuba during World War II. The greater part of the story takes place in a Havana bar, where a wildly diverse cast of characters — including an aging prostitute who stands out as one of Hemingway's most vivid creations — engages in incomparably rich dialogue. A brilliant portrait of the inner life of a complex and endlessly intriguing man, Islands in the Stream is Hemingway at his mature best.

      A collection of Ernest Hemingway’s works from the early 1920s, including one of his most famous works, The Sun Also Rises, as well as short stories and poems. Ernest Hemingway’s first novel, The Sun Also Rises, is also his most widely acclaimed. Set against the backdrop of Paris café society and the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, the novel focuses on the lives of American expatriates in the 1920s. Although the Lost Generation is often considered to have been damaged and dissolute in the aftermath of World War I, Hemingway portrays them as strong characters who are imbued with independence. This leather-bound edition also includes Hemingway’s novella The Torrents of Spring, the short story collection In Our Time (1925), and various other short stories, poems, and newspaper and magazine articles from the early 1920s. A scholarly introduction examines Hemingway’s life and writing career, providing readers with a deeper understanding of his works.

Set on the Côte d'Azur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, and the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman. "A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, and strangely contemporary," The Garden of Eden represents vintage Hemingway, the master "doing what nobody did better" (R. Z. Sheppard, Time).

    • When In Our Time was published in 1925, it was praised by Ford Madox Ford, John Dos Passos, and F. Scott Fitzgerald for its simple and precise use of language to convey a wide range of complex emotions, and it earned Hemingway a place beside Sherwood Anderson and Gertrude Stein among the most promising American writers of that period. In Our Time contains several early Hemingway classics, including the famous Nick Adams stories "Indian Camp," "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife," "The Three Day Blow," and "The Battler," and introduces readers to the hallmarks of the Hemingway style: a lean, tough prose--enlivened by an ear for the colloquial and an eye for the realistic that suggests, through the simplest of statements, a sense of moral value and a clarity of heart. Now recognized as one of the most original short story collections in twentieth-century literature, In Our Time provides a key to Hemingway's later works

I haven't even had my coffee yet.' Harry Morgan is a tough guy making his living during the Depression from his motor boat in Key West, Florida. Although he normally takes out fishing parties, sometimes his boat can be put to other uses. If the money offered is worth his while, Harry will run guns, rum and men to and from Cuba. But he is playing a dicey game. Hemingway's hardest hero risks not just his living, but his life. 'Absorbing and moving. It opens with a fusillade of bullets, reaches its climax with another, and sustains a high pitch of excitement throughout' Times Literary Supplement

    • Ernest Hemingway's final posthumous work is labeled "a fictional memoir," emerging amid controversial editing. Despite lacking the clarity of his best works, it remains quintessentially Hemingway. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the Mau Mau rebellion in 1953 Kenya, where the era of "great white hunters" is fading. Hemingway is portrayed as a revered figure by the local gun bearers and scouts. The story follows two parallel quests: Mary, Hemingway's fourth wife, pursues a massive black-maned lion, while Hemingway becomes infatuated with Debba, a young African woman. Intriguingly, Mary accepts Debba as a "supplementary wife," all while criticizing Hemingway for his drinking and behavior in camp. Atmosphere and attitude overshadow plot, with Mary confronting Hemingway as a "conscience-ridden murderer," a stance that heightens the tension in the hunting scenes. Hemingway's reflections on the lion he describes as "Mary's lion" evoke a poignant beauty, illustrating his mastery of language. While some criticize the book's structure and moments of self-indulgence, the power of Hemingway's prose shines through. The work's value lies in its raw honesty, offering a glimpse of a master navigating his creative process.

      Ernest Hemingway never wished to be widely known as a poet. He concentrated on writing short stories and novels, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1956. But his poetry deserves close attention, if only because it is so revealing. Through verse he expressed anger and disgust—at Dorothy Parker and Edmund Wilson, among others. He parodied the poems and sensibilities of Rudyard Kipling, Joyce Kilmer, Robert Graves, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Gertrude Stein. He recast parts of poems by the likes of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, giving them his own twist. And he invested these poems with the preoccupations of his novels: sex and desire, battle and aftermath, cats, gin, and bullfights. Nowhere is his delight in drubbing snobs and overrefined writers more apparent. In this revised edition of the Complete Poems , the editor, Nicholas Gerogiannis, offers here an afterword assessing the influence of the collection, first published in 1979, and an updated bibliography. Readers will be particularly interested in the addition of "Critical Intelligence," a poem written soon after Hemingway's divorce from his first wife in 1927.

      An early gem from the greatest American writer of the 20th century, The Torrents of Spring is a hilarious parody of the Chicago school of literature. Poking fun at that "great race" of writers, it depicts a vogue that Hemingway himself refused to follow. In style & substance, The Torrents of Spring is a burlesque of Sherwood Anderson's Dark Laughter, but in the course of the narrative, other literary tendencies associated with American & British writers akin to Anderson--such as D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce & John Dos Passos--come in for satirical comment. A highly entertaining story, The Torrents of Spring offers a rare glimpse into Hemingway's early career as a storyteller & stylist.

      The death of Ernest Hemingway in 1961 marked the end of a remarkable and influential career in American literature, with his works translated into every major language. Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954, Hemingway's impact on contemporary writing is undeniable. While many are familiar with his public persona, this collection of nearly 600 letters reveals a more intimate side of the author. Spanning from 1917 to 1961, these letters serve as both a self-portrait and an autobiography, showcasing Hemingway's candid communication with family, friends, enemies, and notable contemporaries. Curated by Carlos Baker, the selection highlights key moments in Hemingway's career while showcasing his character, wit, and passion for hunting, fishing, drinking, and eating. The letters vary from ingratiating to truculent, offering insights into his views on writing, literature, and various subjects, including women, soldiers, and politicians. More than anything, they reveal his irrepressible humor, often more pronounced in his correspondence than in his published works. This informal biography, reflecting 45 years of living and writing, leaves a lasting impression of an extraordinary man. Born in Oak Park, IL, in 1899, Hemingway began his career as a reporter before serving in WWI. He later moved to Paris, where he became part of a vibrant expatriate community and produced iconic novels. He passed away in Ketchum, Idaho, on July 2, 1961.
