Great American Short Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, ...
Dover Publications, 2002
Title This is actually a very good book to have. It was bought for a class in English Literature, but it has some good stories in it. I would be willing to read some of the non-assigned stories from this book. Best part- its a small book.

The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition Ernest Hemingway
Scribner, 1998
Snappy prose! It's fantastic to have all these stories in one book. "Hills Like White Elephant's" is still my favorite story, but I also enjoyed some that I had never heard of. I like the short declarative sentences; it makes for an easy read. I love that I can open it up to any ...

The Old Man and the Sea Ernest Hemingway
Simon Schuster Trade, 1981
Suspenseful Adventure: See why Hemingway is a great writer I first read Ernest Hemingway as a young college student and missed the depth in his simplicity. Reading him again has turned my opinion around. I urge you to read this book.
In "The Old Man and the Sea," he shows the story is not in the language per se, but in the ...

A Moveable Feast Ernest Hemingway
Scribner, 1996
The Writer's Life A Moveable Feast, Hemingway's memoir of his early days in Paris, is nearly bursting with rich, poignant details of what it was like to be young and hopeful and excited. It's all there--Sylvia Beach, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, the horse chestnut trees in ...

A Farewell To Arms Ernest Hemingway

__Underscore. What beauty. What excellent prose. There is little I can say that has not already been said about Hemingway's style. So, I will keep my review short and blunt. This is one of the select few finest American literary works of the twentieth century. If you have any ...

To Have and Have Not Ernest Hemingway
Scribner, 1996
Taut Key West Thriller TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT is nothing like the Bogart movie of the same name. Hemingway's book is much more hard-hitting, his sparse prose reminding the reader of a taut thriller by Elmore Leonard.
Havana and Key West play prominent roles in this gulf sea adventure. The ...

The Short Stories (Scribner Classics) Ernest Hemingway
Scribner, 1997
A review of the CD set, not the author's work There is little that I could say about Hemingway's short stories that hasn't been said before. But while Ernest Hemingway had magic with the written word, his old recordings of reading his own stories on tape are not good. Instead of sounding like how I would expect ...

Garden of Eden Ernest Hemingway
Scribner, 1995
Foolishly, I put off reading this Why the negative buzz about this book?
It is Hemingway; it is very good Hemingway. Unfortunately, it is Hemingway edited--heavily edited; apparently hundreds of pages of manuscript were cut. I would like to read these additional pages. . .I think.
I wouldn't want to ...
