Publisher Description

Three short stories - My Old Man, Up in Michigan, and Out of Season - are the first works ever published by Ernest Hemingway. Published in 1923 in Paris, they are the precursor of this famous author's literary masterpieces. Each story, distinctively different, demonstrates the versatility of his craftsmanship and the measure of his prodigious mind.

"Loved it, loved it, loved it! This volume contains most of my favorite stories (The Old Man and the Sea is missing) and a fantastic section of previously unpublished work. "The Train" -- absolutely loved it. I'll be buying this book so I can peruse and re-read bits whenever the spirit moves me. The introduction is written by Hemingway himself with a lovely air of intimate honesty, never maudlin nor sentimental. It sets the tone for a personal and glorious journey through the evolution of a writer as presented in his short stories. Most stories are readable in under an hour, so this book makes a wonderful companion to the sunrise and a cup of hot cocoa."

    " You really get a feel for the development of Hemingway as a writer. The earlier stories are a bit more rough but he delivers the stories we all know and love. From Africa to Michigan to Key West, the characters come alive and you feel like you're right in the action with them. "

    " This collection didn't move me like "A Farewell to Arms," especially the bullfighting stories. As a young adult, I was not a huge fan of Hemingway. I thought I should try it again from a more life-experienced perspective. And I rediscovered that Steinbeck is more my style. The overall imprint of the book on me -- existence from one glass of gin to the next. :( "

    " Okay, so Hemingway's stuff is fileld with all sorts of macho, misogynistic crap, but the dude could write. His short stories are brilliant--much better than his novels, I think. "

    " Includes all of Hemingway's stories, some of which are must reads no matter your opinion of the writer. The Snows of Kilimanjaro, The Short Happy Life of Francis MacComber, Indian Camp, In Another Country, Big Two-Hearted River Parts I and II, and Cat In The Rain are all classics. "

Yep, the man dies at the end (it's Hemingway, so duh), but it was a poignant death, and I almost felt like I understood what being a male hunter was all about for about two minutes or so. Just a lot of truth of who we are as people in this one. "

About Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), born in Oak Park, Illinois, started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. After the United States entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers. During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises. He also wrote Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea, the story of an old fisherman’s journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his victory in defeat. He also wrote short stories that are collected in Men Without Women and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories. Hemingway died in Idaho in 1961.
