Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. It is his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, filled with irreverent portraits of other expatriate luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein; tender memories of his first wife, Hadley; and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft.

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.

Schwer verletzt wartet der Schriftsteller Harry zu Füßen des Kilimandscharo auf sein Ende. Seine kreative Kraft ist längst erloschen: Seit er an der Seite einer reichen Frau ein luxuriöses Leben führt, hat er nichts mehr geschrieben. In Afrika wollte er zu einem einfachen Dasein zurückfinden. Im Fieberwahn kreisen seine Gedanken um sein vergeudetes Leben und seine ungeschriebenen Bücher, für die es nun zu spät ist.

A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, The Sun Also Rises introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

Harry Morgan lebt von der Vermietung seiner Motorjacht an reiche Sportfischer vor der kubanischen Küste. Sein kärgliches Einkommen versucht er, durch Rum- und Waffenschmuggel aufzubessern. Als ein Kunde ihn um die Bootsmiete prellt, sieht Harry sich gezwungen, durch den Transport illegaler Einwanderer von Kuba nach Florida zu Geld zu kommen. Doch die Überfahrt läuft nicht wie geplant, und Harry versinkt immer tiefer im Sumpf des Verbrechens.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

Long considered one of the best American novels of our time, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable tale of an American ambulance driver and his passionate affair with a beautiful English nurse. Set against the backdrop of World War I, this gripping semi-autobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war as only Hemingway can. A story of love and pain, loyalty and desertion, A Farewell to Arms paints an intimate portrait of the pain and intensity of a love overshadowed by the inexorable creep of global war.

His second major venture into nonfiction (after Death in the Afternoon, 1932), Green Hills of Africa is Ernest Hemingway's lyrical journal of a month on safari in the great game country of East Africa, where he and his wife, Pauline, journeyed in December of 1933. Hemingway's well-known interest in - and fascination with - big-game hunting is magnificently captured in this evocative account of his trip.

Still considered one of the best books ever written about bullfighting, Death in the Afternoon reflects Hemingway's belief that bullfighting was more than mere sport. Here he describes and explains the technical aspects of this dangerous ritual, and "the emotional and spiritual intensity and pure classic beauty that can be produced by a man, an animal, and a piece of scarlet serge draped on a stick."

All read by the new voice of Hemingway, Nathan Osgood, this collection is the perfect opportunity to delve into some of Hemingway's most formative and iconic writings. The stories included here are:

Una de las grandes novelas del Premio Nobel de Literatura Ernest Hemingway, ambientada en Pamplona. Esta hermosa y punzante historia narra la excursión a Pamplona de un grupo de americanos e ingleses exiliados en París en los años veinte, donde se reencuentran la seductora Brett Ashley y el desventurado Jake Barnes, que durante la Primera Guerra Mundial vivieron un amor genuino e irrealizable. El ambiente del París rive gauche y las descripciones de las corridas de toros en España, brutalmente realistas, son la metáfora de una era de bancarrota moral, amores imposibles e ilusiones perdidas.

First published in 1970, nine years after Hemingway's death, this is the story of an artist and adventurer, a man much like Hemingway himself. Beginning in the 1930s, Islands in the Stream follows the fortunes of Thomas Hudson, from his experiences as a painter on the Gulf Stream island of Bimini through his antisubmarine activities off the coast of Cuba during World War II. Hemingway is at his mature best in this beguiling tale.
