A 1933 collection of short stories by Nobel Prize Winner Ernest Hemingway, including A Clean, Well Lighted Place, which James Joyce called "one of the best short stories ever written.” Many of the stories here appear in print for the first time – and would appear again in later collections. In the year of the collection’s publication, Hemingway would go to Africa, an experience which he would later use to write Green Hills of Africa and The Snows of Kilimanjaro. “There are two stories that show a sudden expansion of Hemingway’s range, yet both are beautifully simplified and pure. These are Wine of Wyoming and The Gambler, The Nun, and The Radio” (Contemporary New York Herald Review). Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. (Item #5403)
