A Farewell to Arms |
It is set in WWI when a soldier and a nurse fall in love. The action was terribly slow until the last few pages when the events really surprised me.... A Moveable Feast Hemingway writes about the expatriate era in Paris, where he was surrounded by Gertrude Stein, Ford Maddox Ford, Scott Fitzgerald, and Ezra Pound. He yalks about his first wife, Hadley, and their son Bumby, and his methods of working in this ancient, lively city. They ski in Switzerland and get caught up in horse racing, but Hemingway is at his most adventurous talking about the cafes and local characters he encountered. ...

What follows is a beautiful and horrific tale of people fighting unbeatable foes for their very lives....

Throughout the book, David slowly becomes aware that Catherine is becoming, or is already, mentally ill. She starts acting strangely, asking him things that he w...

Nevertheless, the boy continues to care for the old man upon his return each night. He helps the old man ... Hemingway booklist The Sun Also Rises Gertrude Stein's quote, "You are all a lost generation," reflects the depressive postwar mood of the twenties. Against this backdrop, Jake Barnes, the protagonist, tries to cope with a war injury that makes lovemaking impossible, and gives to his life a bland futility, against which he struggles. The book describes Jake's observations of a consort of characters, and their joyless wanderings through varied adventures, trips, and couplings, including a tr... To Have and Have Not Harry Morgan is literally trying to stay afloat in the depression-era 1930s. His boat is his only source of income - whether through legal party-fishing or illegal smuggling of rum, people or anything else that will pay. It's a sometimes violent business that keeps Harry on the edge of disaster. The story opens with Harry's refusal to carry Cuban revolutionaries to the United States. As the revolutionaries leave the cantina in which they have been neg...
