Summary

"This Library of America volume gathers the three books that confirmed Ernest Hemingway's status as America's preeminent modernist and one of the greatest writers of his era. A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway's enduring portrait of love in a time of war, is presented in a newly restored text that corrects numerous errors and includes, for the first time, expletives removed over Hemingway's objections. It is joined by the acclaimed story collection Men without Women, and the nonfiction masterpiece Death in the Afternoon, both also presented in newly correctly texts. The eighty-one photographs in Death in the Afternoon, Hemingway's grand meditation on bullfighting, morality, and the writing life, have been newly restored from the original prints and postcards he gathered for the book. Carefully edited and lavishly produced, this definite edition brings us closer than ever before to Hemingway's vision for his work."--Dust jacket.
