World famous American writer, journalist and Nobel laureate in literature Ernest Hemingway is a recognized master of a short and rich style, which has become the hallmark of this representative of the "lost generation." His manner of writing is straightforward, precise and always recognizable. The claim holds true for both Hemingway's novels and his many short stories: compact, vivid, unforgettable. Wherever their action takes place - in remote corners of native America, mysterious Spanish and French cities, or in the middle of the African savannah - Hemingway always reaches the very core of the meaning that makes up his worldview: human happiness goes hand in hand with disappointment and loss. In this edition you will find stories known from the collections "Men Without Women," "In Our Time" and "The Winner Gets Nothing," individual works published during the author's lifetime, sketches and fragments first printed in the collections "Nick Adams Stories" and "Short Stories," as well as early texts and those that were written before the Paris period.
