Ernest Hemingway Super Pack (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781515463092)

Ernest Hemingway was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, known for his distinctive prose style and his exploration of the human condition. His literary journey began during World War I, where he served as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross. The war profoundly impacted him, shaping his worldview and informing much of his later work. Hemingway is often associated with the "Lost Generation," a term coined by Gertrude Stein to describe a group of American expatriates who felt disillusioned by the devastation of World War I.

In Paris during the 1920s, Hemingway became a central figure in the expatriate literary scene, mingling with other luminaries such as Gertrude Stein, who became a mentor and a significant influence on his writing. Stein's avant-garde ideas and her salon gatherings provided a fertile ground for Hemingway's artistic development. Her encouragement helped him refine his minimalist style, which would later define his most celebrated works such as A Farewell to Arms.

Hemingway's early books all explore the disillusionment of the lost generation in the aftermath of World War One. His breath taking economical style shook up the literary field and made him a giant of literature. Included in this omnibus collection are Three Short Stories & Ten Poems, In Our Time, The Torrents of Spring, The Sun Also Rises, Men Without Women, and A Farewell to Arms.
