Ernest Hemingway: A Farewell to Arms & Other Writings 1927-1932 (Loa #384)

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. All 81 photographs that appeared in Death in the Afternoon come scintillatingly alive here, reproduced from the original negatives for the first time since the book's publication. 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.
