Synopsis "Ernest Hemingway: Selected Works: Three Stories & Ten Poems, In Our Time, The Torrents of Spring, The Sun Also Rises"

"He is strikingly original, and in the dry compressed little vignettes of In Our Time hasalmost invented a form of his own." - Edmund Wilson."The Sun Also Rises is Hemingway's first and best novel." - Robert McCrum, The Guardian."The delightful entertainment of The Torrents of Spring... is full-blooded comedy, with a sting of satire." - The New York Times."Hemingway remodelled American short fiction." - Michael Reynolds (Hemingway biographer) Ernest Hemingway: Selected Works is a brilliantly varied collection. Three Stories and Ten Poems was Hemingway's first book; critic Edmund Wilson describes the writing as of "the first distinction;" biographer James Mellow considers it one of Hemingway's early masterpieces. Hemingway remodelled American short fiction; In Our Time is one of the most important twentieth-century collections of short stories. The Sun Also Rises, perhaps Hemingway's best novel, perfectly captures the period between World War I and the Great Depression. It made Hemingway a celebrity. Young women began to emulate Brett, the heroine, while male students at Ivy League universities wanted to become "Hemingway heroes." The Torrents of Spring, a comedy, sets out to amuse, and this it does. Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 - July 2, 1961) was an American journalist, novelist, short-story writer, and hunter. He was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature for "his mastery of the art of narrative ... and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style." His economical and understated style-using what he termed "the iceberg theory" or "the theory of omission"-has had a strong influence on twentieth-century fiction. Many of his novels are considered classics of American literature. Writer Richard Ford calls Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Faulkner "the Three Kings who set the measure for every writer since."

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.
