Complete Works of Ernest Hemingway (Illustrated)

Ernest Hemingway is a giant among 20th-century American authors. Even during his own time, he had a cult following. His many books, The Old Man and the Sea, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Snows of Kilimanjaro remain well-loved classics to this day. In 1954 Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for literature in recognition of his talent.Papa Hemingway possessed a bright personality and traveled incessantly. He hand wrote his manuscripts in pencil and on a good day he could write seven pencils down to their nubs while standing in one place; moving only to shift his body weight from one foot to the other.A tragic figure, he suffered from numerous maladies and injuries throughout his life: anthrax, malaria, amoebic dysentery, pneumonia, skin cancer, hepatitis, and diabetes amongst them. Additionally, he experienced ruptured internal organs (kidneys, spleen, and liver), a cracked vertebra, and a fractured skull. His passions were three: literature, alcohol, and fishing. Among his favorite books, Hemingway listed Flabers Madam Bovary, Stendhals The Red and the Black, Joyces Dubliners, Tolstoys Anna Karenina, and Dostoyevskys The Brothers Karamazov as must-reads for all.THE NOVELSTHE TORRENTS OF SPRINGTHE SUN ALSO RISESA FAREWELL TO ARMSTO HAVE AND HAVE NOTFOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLSACROSS THE RIVER AND INTO THE TREESTHE OLD MAN AND THE SEATHE SHORT STORY COLLECTIONSTHREE STORIES AND TEN POEMSIN OUR TIMEMEN WITHOUT WOMENWINNER TAKE NOTHINGTHE FIFTH COLUMN AND THE FIRST FORTY-NINE STORIESTHE FIFTH COLUMN AND FOUR STORIES OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WARMISCELLANEOUS SHORT STORIESTHE PLAYTHE FIFTH COLUMNTHE POETRYTHE AUTOBIOGRAPHIESHEMINGWAY, THE WILD YEARSA MOVEABLE FEAST
