ERNEST HEMINGWAY THREE BOOKS COLLECTION IN ONE CONVENIENT VOLUME.
Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, set during the Italian campaign of World War I. Hemingway’s frank portrayal of the love between Lieutenant Henry and Catherine Barkley, caught in the inexorable sweep of war, glows with an intensity unrivaled in modern literature, while his description of the German attack on Caporetto—of lines of fired men marching in the rain, hungry, weary, and demoralized—is one of the greatest moments in literary history.
Ernest Hemingway’s renowned novel, The Sun Also Rises, A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel 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.
Set in northern Michigan, The Torrents of Spring concerns two men who work at a pump factory, both are searching for the perfect woman, though they disagree over this ideal. In style and substance, The Torrents of Spring is a burlesque of Sherwood Anderson’s Dark Laughter, but in the course of the narrative, other literary tendencies associated with American and British writers akin to Anderson—such as D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce, and John Dos Passos—come in for satirical comment.
