Publisher's Synopsis
The story collection In Our Time (1925), the biting satire book The Torrents of Spring (1926), and his masterwork The Sun Also Rises (1926) are at the heart of this collection. All of them are provided in revised manuscripts that Hemingway expert Robert W. Trogdon recently edited. Nick Adams, Hemingway's alter persona, and a large cast of characters, many of whom are based on real people, are introduced in In Our Time. The collection's other well-known stories, including "The End of Something," "Soldier's Home," "Cat in the Rain," "Big Two-Hearted River," and others, retain their renowned vividness and unnerving capacity to make their sparse economy of language carry the weight of everything that is left unsaid.
