Ernest Hemingway

Beschreibung

In "Men Without Women," Ernest Hemingway presents a poignant collection of short stories that delve into the complex themes of solitude, masculinity, and emotional detachment. Written in his characteristically terse and economical prose, Hemingway captures the dislocation and vulnerability of men who are navigating the aftermath of love, war, and personal loss. Each narrative is imbued with the author's signature understated style, reflecting his keen observations of life's frailties against the backdrop of post-World War I America, a time when traditional notions of masculinity were increasingly challenged. Ernest Hemingway, an influential figure of 20th-century literature, drew heavily from his own experiences, including his service in World War I and tumultuous relationships. These events shaped a worldview that permeates this collection; the stories often portray men who grapple with their identities and emotional clashes in a rapidly evolving society. Hemingway's exploration of alienation and the human condition is not merely a reflection of his life but resonates deeply with the societal issues of his time. "Men Without Women" is an essential read for those interested in the intricacies of human emotion and the struggles of identity. Hemingway's sharp, evocative storytelling provides a rich terrain for exploration, inviting readers to reflect on the existential dilemmas faced by men. Engaging and thought-provoking, this collection serves as a testament to Hemingway's enduring literary legacy.

Old Faces: Yet More Tales from...

Edward Forde Hickey

This book portrays a closely-knit group of people living in the north Tipperary hills during the early 20th century - a community largely made up of small farmers, whose lives were far different from today. The book's inspiration comes from writers such as Thomas Hardy and attempts to pass on to readers the lyrical and rich phrasings of Tipperary's old hill folk and capture the spiritual wealth of an age that remained unchanged for several centuries.  
Tales of . . . brotherly love and hate, a rogue's return from across the sea and his efforts to reform, an unexpected first-love at the harvest-time dance-in-the-fields, persecution of two old saints at the hands of misguided youth, sports-day activities for adults and children alike following the arduous channelling of a new stream, two adventurous toddlers getting lost in the wilderness but saved by a witch, and more.  
'Lovers of literature will find themselves engrossed in the lives of a past hillside community.'  Addison & Cole
