The First Forty-Nine Stories
From Ernest Hemingway's Preface: 'There are many kinds of stories in this book. I hope you will find some that you like - In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining, and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused.' This is a collection of Hemingway's first forty-nine short stories, featuring a brief introduction by the author and lesser known as well as familiar tales, including "Up in Michigan", "Fifty Grand", and "The Light of the World", and the "Snows of Kilimanjaro", "Winner Take Nothing" and "Men Without Women" collections.

Snows of Kilimangaro
In these Hemingway stories, which are partly autobiographical, men and women of passion live, fight, love and die in scenes of dramatic intensity. They range from hauntingly tragedy on the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, to brutal America with its deceptive calm, and war-ravaged Europe.

Men Without Women
"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.
Le Vieil Homme et la Mar
Tu veux ma mort, poisson, pensa le vieux. C'est ton droit. Camarade, je n'ai jamais rien vu de plus grand, ni de plus noble, ni de plus calme, ni de plus beau que toi. Allez, vas-y, tue-moi. Ça m'est égal lequel de nous deux qui tue l'autre. Qu'est-ce que je raconte ? pensa-t-il. Voil que je déraille. Faut garder la tte froide. Garde la tte froide et endure ton mal comme un homme. Ou comme un poisson. ""

Odveká polarita života a smrti, osamelý boj človeka s násilím okolitého sveta i vlastnými slabosťami, veľkoleposť žitia - k týmto témam sa Ernest Hemingway vracia neustále. Dej jeho známeho románu je situovaný do intelektuálneho prostredia Paríža a francúzskej povojnovej bohémy. Americký novinár Jake Barnes, ako mnohí jeho rovesníci traumatizovaný vojnou, hľadá šťastie na potulkách v západnej Európe. I keď ho do istej miery nachádza v cite k lady Brett, ich vzťah nemôže byť naplnený pre jeho zranenie. Fascinujúcu atmosféru paríýskych bulvárov a kaviarničiek striedajú žiarivé obrazy španielskej Pamplony a býčích zápasov, kam sa Jake s priateľmi vyberie hľadať životnú inšpiráciu. Nachádza ju nielen v živom pulze exotického kúta Európy, ale i v ľudsky čistých, opravdivých chrakteroch, typických pre južné kraje, kde lásku, život a smrť spája iba krehké ohnivko...

A Kilimandzsáró hava
A szív dobbanását is megállító, feszes, remekbe szabott történetek szerelemről, halálról, tisztességről. A válogatás címadó darabja Hemingway legismertebb, különös hangulatú novellája, amit maga az író is egyik legjobb írásának tartott.
A könyvből nagy sikerű film is készült, Gregory Peckkel a főszerepben.
Henry, a híres író - akiben magát a szerzőt sejthetjük - sebesülten fekszik Afrika elhagyatott vidékén. Csak felesége és helyi kísérője van vele, autójuk lerobbant, a segítség kétséges. A férfi lába már üszkösödik. Még néhány nap, és orvosi ellátás nélkül biztosan nem éli túl a kalandot.
Míg a betegszállító repülőgépre várnak, a kétségbeesését whiskeybe fojtó író emlékezetében leperegnek életének legfontosabb eseményei. A halál közelségében megérti a leopárd titkát: miért is fekszik több ezer méter magasban, megfagyva a Kilimandzsáró tetején...
A kötetben A bokszoló, és A fehér elefánt formájú hegyek mellett helyet kapott még egy másik briliáns afrikai novella, a Francis Macomber rövid boldogsága is.

Green Hills of Africa
This 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 1933. Hemingway's well-known interest in - and fascination with - big game hunting is magnificently captured in this evocative account of his trip. It is an examination of the lure of the hunt and an impassioned portrait of the glory of the African landscape and of the beauty of a wilderness that was, even then, being threatened by the incursions of man.
