Synopsis

NEVER BEFORE ON AUDIO! ALL-NEW PRODUCTIONS OF TWENTY-FOUR CLASSIC ERNEST HEMINGWAY STORIES.

This brand-new audio collection from the iconic Pulitzer and Nobel Prize–winning author is a listener’s delight. The two dozen short stories presented here have never been published on audio; these new recordings of classic stories will remind listeners of Ernest Hemingway’s incomparable mastery of the short story form.

Included are three short stories on war—by one of history’s greatest writers on the subject—that were never published in any print or audio collection before 2019: “A Room on the Garden Side,” “Indian Country and the White Army,” and “The Monument.”

Also featured here are almost twenty stories from The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: “One Trip Across,” “The Tradesman’s Return,” “The Denunciation,” “The Butterfly and the Tank,” “Night Before Battle,” “Under the Ridge,” “Nobody Ever Dies,” “The Good Lion,” “The Faithful Bull,” “Get a Seeing-Eyed Dog,” “A Man of the World,” “An African Story,” “A Train Trip,” “The Porter,” “Black Ass at the Cross Roads,” “Landscape with Figures,” “I Guess Everything Reminds You of Something,” “Great News from the Mainland,” and “The Strange Country.” Rounding out this audio collection are two classics from the Hemingway Library edition of The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: “Untitled Milan Story” and “Judgment of Manitou.”

An invaluable anthology of beloved favorites and undiscovered treasures, read by acclaimed actor and audiobook narrator John Bedford Lloyd, Selected Hemingway Stories is a must-listen for every Hemingway fan.

About Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.

This is a repackaging of some of Hemingway's best short stories, from a handful of semi-autobiographical Nick Adams stories to his masterpiece, The Snows of Kilimanjaro. This release is tied in with the upcoming Ken Burns/Lynn Novick three-part series on Hemingway. As a youth I was averse to anything......more

Goodreads review by Caro on December 03, 2022

This is a collection of some of Ernest Hemingway's short stories. There were a couple of them that I enjoyed (The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber and Other Stories and The Snows of Kilimanjaro), and others, not so much. Overall, I'm glad I picked up this book.......more

Goodreads review by Michael on March 09, 2021

Haven't read Hemingway for a while. This was an interesting collection to read, positioned in chronological order. The short stories that I won't forget (and perhaps will re-visit) include Soldier's Home, Big Two-Hearted River (my Dad would have loved this), The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber......more

What can I say? If you like both Hemingway and short stories you’re going to enjoy this collection. If you dislike either then you’ll dislike this. I enjoyed it. This unbiased review is based on a copy won through Goodreads giveaways.......more
