内容简介
"Men Without Women" was a milestone in Hemingway's career.
"Fiesta" had already established him as a novelist of exceptional
power, but with these short stories, his second collection, he
showed that it is possible, within the space of a few pages, to
recreate a scene with absolute truth, bringing to life details
observed only by the eye of a uniquely gifted artist. Hemingway's
men are bullfighters and boxers, hired hands and hard drinkers,
gangsters and gunmen. Each of their stories deals with masculine
toughness unsoftened by woman's hand. Incisive, hard-edged, pared
down to the bare minimum, they are classic Hemingway territory.
作者简介
Ernest Miller Hemingway was born in Chicago in 1899 as the son
of a doctor and the second of six children. After a stint as an
ambulance driver at the Italian front, Hemingway came home to
America in 1919, only to return to the battlefield - this time as a
reporter on the Greco-Turkish war - in1922. Resigning from
journalism to focus on his writing instead, he moved to Paris where
he renewed his earlier friendship with fellow American expatriates
such as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Through the years, Hemingway
travelled widely and wrote avidly, becoming an internationally
recognized literary master of his craft. He received the Nobel
Prize for Literature in 1954, following the publication of The Old
Man and the Sea. He died in 1961.
