Book Description
Dont let the title fool you; Hors doeuvres II is not about food for the belly, but more about food for the mind. It is a diverse collection of short stories strictly designed to amuse and entertain. This new batch of Hors doeuvres is no less appetizing than the first.

I guarantee there are no stale crackers, or pt that may seem suspiciously like store-bought cat food. (Remember your neighbors last New Years party?) So dig in, enjoy the fare; good when youre in the mood for a bit of easy reading: satisfying, non-fattening, and you dont have to worry about the toothpicks.

The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway
Author: Ernest Hemingway
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476787727
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
The fourth in the series of new annotated editions of Ernest Hemingway’s work, edited by the author’s grandson Seán and introduced by his son Patrick, this “illuminating” (The Washington Post) collection includes the best of the well-known classics as well as unpublished stories, early drafts, and notes that “offer insight into the mind and methods of one of the greatest practitioners of the story form” (Kirkus Reviews). Ernest Hemingway is a cultural icon—an archetype of rugged masculinity, a romantic ideal of the intellectual in perpetual exile—but, to his countless readers, Hemingway remains a literary force much greater than his image. Of all of Hemingway’s canonical fictions, perhaps none demonstrate so forcefully the power of the author’s revolutionary style as his short stories. In classics like “Hills like White Elephants,” “The Butterfly in the Tank,” and “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” Hemingway shows us great literature compressed to its most potent essentials. We also see, in Hemingway’s short fiction, the tales that created the legend: these are stories of men and women in love and in war and on the hunt, stories of a lost generation born into a fractured time. The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway presents many of Hemingway’s most famous classics alongside rare and unpublished material: Hemingway’s early drafts and correspondence, his dazzling out-of-print essay on the art of the short story, and two marvelous examples of his earliest work—his first published story, “The Judgment of Manitou,” which Hemingway wrote when still a high school student, and a never-before-published story, written when the author was recovering from a war injury in Milan after WWI. This work offers vital insight into the artistic development of one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers. It is a perfect introduction for a new generation of Hemingway readers, and it belongs in the collection of any true Hemingway fan.
