Men Without Women (Deluxe Hardbound Edition)

Más información sobre el libro

This collection of short stories presents Hemingway in his most characteristic moods, illustrating particularly his concern with the fighting side of man's nature. It contains stories on many of his best themes. The Undefeated is a penetrating study of the mentality of the bullfighter, ending with a tense description of the struggle in which he is gored. Another, Fifty Grand, creates in this same immediate manner the world of the professional boxer. Many of the others, some of them illustrating Hemingway's remarkable gift for catching the essence of a situation in a few brief paragraphs, are set in Italy and connected with the army, the War, or Americans.
