Men Without Women (Classicus Edition)

Ernest Hemingway

Sinopsis

Men Without Women showcases Ernest Hemingway at the height of his powers, delivering fourteen taut, unforgettable short stories that reveal the stark truths of human experience. From the quiet menace of “The Killers,” where two hitmen wait in a small-town diner, to the fraught, elliptical conversation about abortion in “Hills Like White Elephants,” Hemingway’s writing is spare, unflinching, and charged with subtext. Each story strips life to its essentials, capturing moments of violence, longing, and fragile connection with unrelenting honesty.      A defining work of twentieth-century literature, this collection explores the emotional chasms between men and women, the aftershocks of war, and the struggles of those living on society’s margins. Hemingway’s trademark style—lean, understated, and richly suggestive—invites readers to read between the lines, finding meaning in what is left unsaid. The stories resonate with themes of loss and alienation, offering glimpses of human vulnerability beneath tough exteriors.      Men Without Women is an essential volume for lovers of literary fiction and modernist writing alike. This edition brings together some of Hemingway’s most celebrated and studied stories in a single, beautifully crafted collection. Whether you’re encountering his work for the first time or returning to appreciate its artistry anew, you’ll find in these pages the raw power and timeless appeal that made Hemingway one of the most influential authors of all time.

Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai...

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

In the vast Empire of the Russians literature was a way to exchange ideas, values and cultures. Yet each author, each story, each character is an individual example of a journey that, story by story, has transformed the glimmering arc of its literature.

Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.
Romeo and Juliet had a profound influence on subsequent literature. Before then, romance had not even been viewed as a worthy topic for tragedy. In Harold Bloom's words, Shakespeare "invented the formula that the sexual becomes the erotic when crossed by the shadow of death". Of Shakespeare's works, Romeo and Juliet has generated the most—and the most varied—adaptations, including prose and verse narratives, drama, opera, orchestral and choral music, ballet, film, television, and painting. The word "Romeo" has even become synonymous with "male lover" in English. 
The most famous and inspirational works of William Shakespeare include: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Orpheus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Troilus and Cressida, The Tempest, Venus and Adonis, Antony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, The Winter's Tale and many more.
