Summary

In our time Ernest Hemingway - in our time is a collection of 18 short stories that were first published by Ernest Hemingway in 1924. Told his in trademark terse, laconic style, each story vividly immerses the reader--from the trenches and battlefields of WWI to the bullfighting rings and tabernas of Spain. Each sentence exposes Hemingway's talent, and foreshadows his literary significance.

This special edition features high-definition illustrations curated by Lindsay Shayne, author of Seven Springs. Each carefully selected image brings the scene to life and enhance the settings which have been so artfully crafted by Ernest Hemingway. (1924 Edition).

When In Our Time was first published in 1925, it was widely praised for its simple and precise use of language to convey a wide range of complex emotions, and earned Hemingway a place 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" and "The Three Day Blow," and introduces readers to the hallmarks of the Hemingway style: a lean, tough prose, enlivened by an ear for the colloquial and an eye for the realistic. His writing suggests, through the simplest of statements, a sense of moral value and a clarity of vision.

    Jenny Nixon uses bold phrasing and syntax to record a life lived in and around Sydney s bohemian culture and lesbian and gay communities from the 1970s to the present. Her poetry is atmospheric, immediate and celebrates awareness gained, while honorouring the losses and counting the costs, including deaths of family friends and muses taken by age, AIDS or addictions. Although mainly narrative in style, Nixon s work doesn t shy away from political protest. It cuts close to the bone, and uses the language of the everyday in what is an accessible and moving collection. This collection will appeal to readers who like contemporary, no-nonsense poetry that isn t afraid of tackling the big issues.

Then she meets a 26-year-old stranger who seems more than ready to oblige. But the complications are by no means over...
