For Whom the Bell Tolls is a novel by Ernest Hemingway published in 1940. It tells the story of Robert Jordan, a young American volunteer attached to a Republican guerrilla unit during the Spanish Civil War. As a dynamiter, he is assigned to blow up a bridge during an attack on the city of Segovia. It was published just after the end of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), whose general lines were well known at the time. It assumes the reader knows that the war was between the government of the Second Spanish Republic, which many foreigners went to Spain to help and which was supported by the Communist Soviet Union, and the Nationalist faction, which was supported by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. In 1940, the year the book was published, the United States had not yet entered the Second World War, which had begun on September 1, 1939, with Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland. The novel is regarded as one of Hemingway's best works, along with The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and The Old Man and the Sea.

"In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die."-Ernest Hemingway, Indian Camp (1924)In Our Time (1925) is Ernest Hemingway's first collection of short stories published in the United States. A rewrite by the author of the 1924 French publication of the same name, it includes fifteen stories, two of which feature Nick Adams, Hemingway's autobiographical character who is a child in Indian Camp (1924) and a young man in The Three Day Blow (1925). The stories utilize the iceberg theory, a term coined by Hemingway, meaning a minimalist approach of focusing on surface elements without exposing themes hidden in subtext. A definitive collection of Hemingway's recurring themes of alienation, grief, and loss, this is a volume worthy of the term "masterpiece."

"But she might hold him. That was all that mattered now. To hold him. To hold him. Not to let him go. Make him stay."-Ernest Hemingway, The Torrents of Spring (1926)The Torrents of Spring (1926) by Ernest Hemingway is an amusing parody that pokes fun at the writers of the time, namely Hemingway's friend, Sherwood Anderson and his novel, Dark Laughter (1925). The plot centers on the perfect woman and the attempt by the two main characters, Yogi Johnson and Scripps O'Neill to find her. This first long work of Hemingway was received with mixed reviews by his critics and compatriots; F. Scott Fitzgerald dubbed it a masterpiece. This novella is a rare glimpse into the humorous side of Hemingway and a must-read for fans of the author and parodies.

First published in 1926, "The Sun Also Rises" is Ernest Hemingway's enduring novel of the Lost Generation and their directionless wandering through life in Europe following World War I. The novel centers around the frustrated love story between the protagonist, Jake Barnes, and the twice-divorced and sexually free Lady Brett Ashley. Jake was wounded in the war and is physically unable to consummate his love for Brett, while Brett is unable to decide what she wants in life and drifts from one relationship to another, afraid to be alone. Jake and Brett spend their time with other American expatriates living in Paris and the group of friends, dislocated by war and united in their dissatisfaction with their lives in America, seek out entertainment and distraction in a fishing trip and an adventure to Spain to see the bullfighting. The friends and lovers often fight amongst themselves while they spend their time drinking and wondering what to do next. The novel is written in Hemingway's unique style and employs his "iceburg theory" of writing, which favored minimalism in descriptions that allowed a work's deeper meaning to remain implicit. Widely hailed as one of Hemingway's most significant novels, "The Sun Also Rises" remains a timeless and engrossing masterpiece of American literature.

First published in 1925, "In Our Time" is a collection of short stories and vignettes by Ernest Hemingway written at the beginning of his literary career. Hemingway began working on some of the stories and pieces of prose that would make up the collection in 1923 and continued working on and refining his stories for the next two years. Many of the stories center around Hemingway's well-known and semi-autobiographical character, Nick Adams. Several are based on his own experiences in World War I and in Spain, where he became enamored with bull fighting. The collection introduces readers to the writing style that Hemingway would become so famous for in his later novels, the sparse language, matter of fact descriptions, and shocking violence presented in an emotionless and frank tone. Hemingway explored many of the topics that would play a prominent role in his later works, such problems with romantic relationships and marriage, the importance of male friendships, survival in a world of war and suffering, and the ever-present threat of death. "In Our Time" remains one of the most important short story collections of twentieth-century American literature and is a must-read for everyone who enjoys Hemingway's work.

Nueva traducción de una de las últimas novelas del Premio Nobel de Literatura Ernest Hemingway. Un triste óleo de la vejez, el hastío, el amor, la vida y la muerte.El coronel Richard Cantwell, enfermo y al borde del retiro, decide pasar sus últimos días en la hermosa e invernal Venecia bajo el pretexto de cazar patos para encontrarse allí con Renata, una joven aristócrata con quien mantiene un amor prohibido. El viejo militar hallará a su lado el gozo del que se ha visto privado toda su vida. Pero también allí, paseando por calles frías y rodeado del lento e implacable devenir del agua de los canales, rememorará sus hazañas bélicas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, que le legaron solamente recuerdos, la amistad con el maître de un hotel y una mano izquierda atrofiada.A través de la mirada desencantada de Cantwell y de una prosa inconfundible, vívida e hiriente, Al otro lado del río y entre los árboles es una obra sobrecogedora, escrita con la sensibilidad única de un autor irrepetible.Tenesse Williams dijo...«La novela más triste del mundo en la ciudad más triste del mundo. La mejor obra de Hemingway, la más delicada y honesta.»ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the fall of 1948, Ernest Hemingway made his first extended visit to Italy in thirty years. His reacquaintance with Venice, a city he loved, provided the inspiration for Across the River and into the Trees, the story of Richard Cantwell, a war-ravaged American colonel stationed in Italy at the close of the Second World War, and his love for a young Italian countess.A poignant, bittersweet homage to love that overpowers reason, to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the worldweary beauty and majesty of Venice, Across the River and into the Trees stands as Hemingway's statement of defiance in response to the great dehumanizing atrocities of the Second World War. Hemingway's last full-length novel published in his lifetime, it moved John O'Hara in The New York Times Book Review to call him "the most important author since Shakespeare."
