Synopsis "In Our Time (Read & Co. Classics Edition);With the Introductory Essay 'The Jazz Age Literature of the Lost Generation ' (in English)"

In Our Time is Ernest Hemingway's first short story collection. This seminal volume features 18 vignettes first published in 1924 and a further series of short stories first published in 1925. Commonly considered one of Ernest Hemingway's early masterpieces, In Our Time examines themes of war, death, violence, and romantic and familial love. Many of the short stories explore similar motifs to his later, much-loved novels, including The Sun Also Rises (1926). His experience of war is highlighted in the early vignettes, and his unique writing style, known as 'the theory of omission' or 'the iceberg theory', is evident throughout the volume. ""Give peace in our time, O Lord"" - English Book of Common Prayer (1549) In Our Time features many remarkable short stories including: - 'The End of Something' - 'Soldier's Home' - 'The Revolutionist' - 'Mr. and Mrs. Elliot' - 'Out of Season' - 'Cross Country Snow' - 'My Old Man' First published in 1925, this volume has been republished with the introductory essay 'The Jazz Age Literature of the Lost Generation'. Fans of Ernest Hemingway and those interested in his seminal work should not miss this early collection of short stories.

Ernest Miller Hemingway (Oak Park, 21 de julio de 1899-Ketchum, 2 de julio de 1961) fue un escritor y periodista estadounidense, uno de los principales novelistas y cuentistas del siglo XX.

Su estilo sobrio—que él denominó la teoría del iceberg—tuvo una gran influencia sobre la ficción del siglo XX, mientras que su vida de aventuras y su imagen pública le trajeron la admiración de las generaciones posteriores. Hemingway escribió la mayor parte de su obra entre mediados de la década de 1920 y mediados de la década de 1950. Ganó el Premio Pulitzer en 1953 por El viejo y el mar y al año siguiente el Premio Nobel de Literatura por su obra completa. Publicó siete novelas, seis recopilaciones de cuentos, dos ensayos y una obra de teatro.

Póstumamente se publicaron tres novelas, cuatro libros de cuentos y tres ensayos. Muchos de estos son considerados clásicos de la literatura de Estados Unidos.
