Ernest Hemingway strana 7 z 9

The Essential Hemingway is the perfect introduction to the astonishing, wide-ranging body of work by the Nobel Prize-winning author. This impressive collection includes: the full text of Fiesta, Hemingway's first major novel; long extracts from three of his greatest works of fiction, A Farewell to Arms, To Have and Have Not and For Whom the Bell Tolls; twenty-five complete short stories; and the breathtaking Epilogue to Death in the Afternoon. 'He is one of those who, honestly and undauntedly, reproduces the genuine features of the hard countenance of the age' Nobel Prize Citation.

Harry Morgan was hard - the classic Hemingway hero - rum-running, gun-running and man-running from Cuba to the Florida Keys in the Depression. He ran risks, too, from stray coastguard bullets and sudden double-crosses. But it was the only way he could keep his boat, keep his independence, and keep his belly full...This classic novella was turned into a brilliant film by Howard Hawks - the film in which Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Becall met - and remains an important work by one of the greatest American novelists of the twentieth century.

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.

Written when Hemingway was at the height of his creative powers, the stories in Winner Take Nothing glow with the mark of his unique talent. Hunters, wives, old men of wisdom, waiters, fighters, women loved, women lost: they are all here, living on the raw edge, making love, facing the inevitable reality of death. The characters, the dialogue, the settings, the remarkable insight could have come only from Hemingway's imagination. As an introduction to his work, or as an overview of the themes he developed at greater length in his novels, it is a stunningly successful collection. From one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.

Odveká polarita života a smrti s násilím okolitého sveta i vlastnými slabosťami, veľkoleposti žitia - k týmto témam sa autor vracia neustále. Dej jeho románu je situovaný do intelektuálneho prostredia Paríža a francúzskej povojnovej bohémy. Americký novinár Jake Barnes, ako mnohí jeho rovesníci traumatizovaní 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 parížskych 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 charakteroch, typických pre južné kraje, kde lásku, život a smrť spája iba krehké ohnivko.

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 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.

Paris in the twenties: Pernod, parties and expatriate Americans, loose-living on money from home. Jake is wildly in love with Brett Ashley, aristocratic and irresistibly beautiful, but with an abandoned, sensuous nature that she cannot change. When the couple drifts to Spain to the dazzle of the fiesta and the heady atmosphere of the bullfight, their affair is strained by new passions, new jealousies, and Jake must finally learn that he will never possess the woman he loves.

The War is just over. In Venice, a city elaborately and affectionately described, the American Colonel, Richard Cantrell, falls passionately in love with Renata, a young Italian countess who has 'a profile that could break your or anyone else's heart'. Cantrell is embittered, war-scarred and old enough to be Renata's father, but he is overwhelmed by the selflessness and freshness of the love she is offering. But this is no fairy tale. The fighting may be ended, but the wounds of war have not yet healed. And for some, the longed-for peace has come too late.

A fascinating look at the history and grandeur of bullfighting, Death in the Afternoon is also a deeper contemplation on the nature of cowardice and bravery, sport and tragedy, and is enlivened throughout by Hemingway's pungent commentary on life and literature. Seen through his eyes, bullfighting becomes an art, a richly choreographed ballet, with performers who range from awkward amateurs to masters of great grace and cunning.
