Hemingway’s writing, 1927–1932, in context

This volume brings together short fiction, a novel, a book-length meditation on bullfighting, and letters from a concentrated period of Hemingway’s career. The works range across stories including “The Killers” and “Hills Like White Elephants,” the love-and-war setting of *A Farewell to Arms*, and *Death in the Afternoon*’s examination of bullfighting, mortality, and writing. The letters add a documentary strand, while a chronology, explanatory notes, and a textual essay help situate the writing and its publication. The edition presents corrected texts and reproduces the photographs associated with *Death in the Afternoon*, making editorial history and visual material part of the volume’s scope.

Book overview

The Library of America's definitive Hemingway edition continues with three classic works, all presented in new, corrected texts.

This much anticipated second volume in Library of America's edition of the collected writings of Ernest Hemingway brings together 3 of the author's classic works from the late 1920s and early 1930s, all presented in new, corrected texts prepared by Hemingway scholar Robert W. Trogdon. Reinstating expletives redacted by Hemingway's editor Maxwell Perkins, fixing numerous errors, and restoring Hemingway's preferred American spellings, these texts bring us closer than ever before to Hemingway's intentions for his books. Here for the first time in one volume are:

  • Men Without Women (1927), Hemingway's second short story collection, which includes such classic stories as "In Another Country," "The Killers," "Ten Indians," and "Hills Like White Elephants"
  • A Farewell to Arms (1929), Hemingway's heartbreaking novel of love and war
  • Death in the Afternoon (1932), his grand meditation on bullfighting, mortality, and writing. For this deluxe edition, all 81 of the book's photographs of bullfights and bullfighters have been reproduced from the original prints and postcards gathered by the author, bringing them vividly to life as never before.

The volume also includes a selection of Hemingway's letters from 1927 to 1932 that cast light on his life, artistic aims, and publishing activities during this period. A detailed chronology of the author's life, explanatory notes, and a textual essay bring added value for readers.
