In Our Time is an exploration of alienation, loss and war that launched Ernest Hemingway into the American public consciousness and began his career as one of American’s foremost writers.

Audiobook narrators Mike Vendetti and Kathy Verduin bring Hemingway's classic masterpiece "The Sun Also Rises" to life.

Gertrude Stein, in conversation with Ernest Hemmingway, once made the comment: “You are all a lost generation.” She was referring to the young adults who struggled to find their purpose in the wake of World War I, yet showed incredible resilience against all odds.

First published in 1927, Men Without Women represents some of Hemingway's most important and compelling early writing. In these fourteen stories, Hemingway begins to examine the themes that would occupy his later works: the casualties of war, the often-uneasy relationship between men and women, sport and sportsmanship. Pared down, gritty, and subtly expressive, these stories show the young Hemingway emerging as America's finest writer.

In 1923, journalist and budding fiction writer Ernest Hemingway penned 18 original short stories and published them in the magazine The Little Review with the help of his friend Ezra Pound. Hemingway would later add to this collection and re-publish the stories in 1925 under the same title and—after adding an additional story—would again republish the entire volume in 1930, again as in our time (all in lower case). This collection of short stories would mark one of the most auspicious and earth-shattering debuts by an author in literary history.

Dieser wohl berühmteste Roman Hemingways basiert auf seinen Erlebnissen als freiwilliger Sanitätsfahrer im Ersten Weltkrieg. Frederic Henry, ein junger Amerikaner, verliebt sich im Lazarett in die englische Krankenschwester Catherine Barkley, nachdem er bei einem Sanitätseinsatz an der italienischen Front verletzt wurde. Zurück bei seiner Truppe erlebt er den feindlichen Durchbruch bei Caporetto und entkommt nur knapp der Erschießung als angeblicher Deserteur.

In his unforgettable first novel, Hemingway artfully illuminates the plight of the Lost Generation, weaving a poignant tale of love and loss in the aftermath of World War I. The story follows two expatriates living in Paris in the 1920s: Jake Barnes, an American war veteran and journalist, and Lady Brett Ashley, an independent Englishwoman exploring the opportunities afforded by a new era of liberated women and sexual freedom. Impotent due to an injury suffered during the war, Jake must navigate his hopeless love for Brett in a changed world of waning morality.

A veteran of the Great War, Jake Barnes is both physically and emotionally wounded, leaving him unable to be intimate. Even so, he pines after Lady Brett Ashley, a promiscuous twice-divorced woman. As feelings are hurt and punches are thrown, their lives and the lives of their friends and lovers become tangled as they journey from Paris to Spain and struggle with the repercussions that come from surviving the First World War.

Post World War I, two men are attempting to find the perfect woman, although they both disagree about what might be considered ideal. Yogi Johnson, a World War I veteran, struggles with his lack of attraction to the opposite sex, until one day he's met with a gorgeous Native American woman. Scripps O'Neill, reeling from being left by his wife and young daughter, befriends a waitress and tumbles down a path of commitment.

When Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) published Three Stories and 10 Poems in 1923, he was 24, a wounded veteran of the Great War, and still three years away from publishing his debut novel (The Sun Also Rises). So the "Three Stories" give us a unique look into Hemingway's developing writing skills and his very particular areas of creative interest.  

This classic collection includes Hemingway’s best short stories: "Indian Camp", "My Old Man", and "Big Two Hearted River", and less appreciated ones such as "Mr. and Mrs. Elliot".

Borrowing its title from an old Anglican prayer, Ernest Hemingway’s In Our Time is a series of stories and vignettes that reflect on a world searching for peace after World War I. These stories span topics from passionate affairs between soldiers and nurses to the thrills and spectacle of bullfighting.

"En nuestro tiempo" is composed of 32 of the author's best-loved stories. A strange mixture that deals with the relationship between war and peace, some experiences of Americans living in France and details about human beings with their war traumas, their rootlessness, rage or despair. "On Smyrna Pier", "Indian Camp", "Cross Country in the Snow" and "Mr. and Mrs. Elliot" are some of the titles that make up this anthology of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

"Three-Day Blow'' is a short story that became a chapter from In Our Time. Jake (Hemingway's alter ego) hikes to his friend Bill's house where they spend the morning talking and drinking. The conversation is mostly chit-chat until the liquor loosens them up enough to discuss Jakes's breakup with Marjorie. 

The story is about a 25-year-old Harvard student who follows a "clean" life. He marries a 40-year-old clean Southern woman and the two try very hard to have a baby. Eventually, both become disenchanted with each other, and the wife's girlfriend moves in to live with her.
