Description
A Scribner Classics EditionThe ideal introduction to the genius of Ernest Hemingway, The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories contains ten of Hemingway's most acclaimed and popular works of short fiction.Selected from Winner Take Nothing, Men Without Women, and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories, this collection includes "The Killers," the first of Hemingway's mature stories to be accepted by an American periodical; the autobiographical "Fathers and Sons," which alludes, for the first time in Hemingway's career, to his father's suicide; "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," a "brilliant fusion of personal observation, hearsay and invention," wrote Hemingway's biographer, Carlos Baker; and the title story itself, of which Hemingway said: "I put all the true stuff in," with enough material, he boasted, to fill four novels. Beautiful in their simplicity, startling in their originality, and unsurpassed in their craftsmanship, the stories in this volume highlight one of America's master storytellers at the top of his form.

Ernest Hemingway and Richard Russo's novels deal with the problems of ordinary men. Both depict morally aware, sensitive characters who grapple with life's harsh realities and society's broader issues. Their writing styles, tone, and frequently bittersweet -- even unhappy -- endings may appeal to readers with similar tastes. -- Katherine Johnson
Ernest Hemingway readers might enjoy Russell Banks, who writes literary fiction that deals with real-life problems: career, relationships, and identity. He portrays working-class characters with an accessible style and dark humor to bring out the occasional bleakness of ordinary life. -- Krista Biggs
Readers who enjoy a sparse yet vivid prose style, tough and macho protagonists, and haunting introspection from characters in desperate and dangerous situations will appreciate the elegant, tightly crafted stories of Ernest Hemingway and Breece D'J Pancake. -- Derek Keyser

Though Mailer writes in a fuller style and on more provocative subjects, his bleak, candid, and gritty novels about desperate and resilient individuals share the same strong masculine voice and somber passages of haunting beauty found in Hemingway's stories. -- Derek Keyser
John Dos Passos adopts a less focused, more experimental style than Ernest Hemingway, but both authors both write cynical, stark yet lyrically written novels about individuals coping with poverty, wars, heartbreak, and growing disillusioned with the cultural landscape of America and Europe following World War I. -- Derek Keyser

It's not often that this column gets to cite something by a truly classic author, but here it is: Hemingway's last work, written after he returned from his 1953 safari and edited by his son, Patrick, in time for this July's centennial celebration. Hemingway even stars in this "fictional memoir," running the safari camp in the absence of friend and lead hunter Pop even as hostile tribes gather to attack. But he still has time to sneak in an affair with an African girl. Along with this work, Scribner will publish three new hardcover editions of Hemingway classics: The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories (ISBN 0-684-86221-2. $25), Death in the Afternoon (ISBN 0-684-85922-X. $35), and To Have and Have Not (ISBN 0-684-85923-8. $25).
