Dix indiens

Featuring Hemingway's only full-length play, which--like the stories here--grew out of his experiences in and around a besieged Madrid, this volume brilliantly evokes the tumultuous years of the Spanish Civil War. These works, which grew from Hemingway's adventures as a newspaper correspondent in and around besieged Madrid, movingly portray the effects of war on soldiers, civilians, and the correspondents sent to cover it.

Paradis perdu

«Tu veux ma mort, poisson, pensa le vieux. C'est ton droit. Camarade, je n'ai jamais rien vu de plus grand, ni de plus noble, ni de plus calme, ni de plus beau que toi. Allez, vas-y, tue-moi. Ça m'est égal lequel de nous deux qui tue l'autre. Qu'est-ce que je raconte? pensa-t-il. Voilà que je déraille. Faut garder la tête froide. Garde la tête froide et endure ton mal comme un homme. Ou comme un poisson.»

Le vieil homme et la mer

In the fall of 1948, Ernest Hemingway made his first extended visit to Italy in thirty years. His reacquaintance with Venice, a city he loved, provided the inspiration for Across the River and into the Trees, the story of Richard Cantwell, a war-ravaged American colonel stationed in Italy at the close of the Second World War, and his love for a young Italian countess. A poignant, bittersweet homage to love that overpowers reason, to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the worldweary beauty and majesty of Venice, Across the River and into the Trees stands as Hemingway's statement of defiance in response to the great dehumanizing atrocities of the Second World War. Hemingway's last full-length novel published in his lifetime, it moved John O'Hara in The New York Times Book Review to call him "the most important author since Shakespeare."
