'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

First published in 1970, nine years after Ernest Hemingway's death, Islands in the Stream is the story of an artist and adventurer — a man much like Hemingway himself. Rich with the uncanny sense of life and action characteristic of his writing — from his earliest stories (In Our Time) to his last novella (The Old Man and the Sea) — this compelling novel contains both the warmth of recollection that inspired A Moveable Feast and a rare glimpse of Hemingway's rich and relaxed sense of humor, which enlivens scene after scene.  Beginning in the 1930s, Islands in the Stream follows the fortunes of Thomas Hudson from his experiences as a painter on the Gulf Stream island of Bimini, where his loneliness is broken by the vacation visit of his three young sons, to his antisubmarine activities off the coast of Cuba during World War II. The greater part of the story takes place in a Havana bar, where a wildly diverse cast of characters — including an aging prostitute who stands out as one of Hemingway's most vivid creations — engages in incomparably rich dialogue. A brilliant portrait of the inner life of a complex and endlessly intriguing man, Islands in the Stream is Hemingway at his mature best.

Îles à la dérive

A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Set on the Côte d'Azur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, and the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman. "A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, and strangely contemporary," The Garden of Eden represents vintage Hemingway, the master "doing what nobody did better" (R. Z. Sheppard, Time).

THIS COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES AND VIGNETTES MARKED ERNEST HEMINGWAY'S AMERICAN DEBUT AND MADE HIM FAMOUS

When In Our Time was published, it was praised by Ford Madox Ford, John Dos Passos, and F. Scott Fitzgerald for its simple and precise use of language to convey a wide range of complex emotions, and it earned Hemingway a place beside Sherwood Anderson and Gertrude Stein among the most promising American writers of that period. In Our Time contains several early Hemingway classics, including the famous Nick Adams stories "Indian Camp, " "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife, " "The Three Day Blow, " and "The Battler, " and introduces readers to the hallmarks of the Hemingway style: a lean, tough prose -- enlivened by a car for the colloquial and an eye for the realistic that suggests, through the simplest of statements, a sense of moral value and a clarity of heart.

Now recognized as one of the most original short story collections in twentieth-century literature, In Our Time provides a key to Hemingway's later works.

In Our Time

In 1918 Ernest Hemingway went to war, to the war to end all wars. He volunteered for ambulance service in Italy, was wounded, and twice decorated. Out of his experiences came A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway's description of war is unforgettable. He recreates the fear, the comradeship, the courage of his young American volunteer, and the men and women he meets in Italy with total conviction. But A Farewell to Arms is not only a novel of war. In it, Hemingway has also created a love story of immense drama and uncompromising passion.

L'adieu aux armes

Here are Hemingway's memories of his life as an unknown writer in the Paris of the 1920s. He looks not only at himself but also at the other writers who were there at the time: James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein

A moveable feat

«Le Kilimandjaro est une montagne couverte de neige, haute de 19 710 pieds, et que l'on dit être la plus haute montagne d'Afrique. La cime ouest est appelée en langue masai Ngaje Ngai, Maison de Dieu. Tout près de la cime ouest il y a une carcasse gelée et desséchée de léopard. Nul n'a expliqué ce que le léopard allait chercher à cette altitude.» Ainsi commence l'une des plus célèbres et des plus belles nouvelles d'Ernest Hemingway, adaptée au cinéma avec Ava Gardner et Gregory Peck.
