Men Without Women

Description :

In Hemingway's characteristically laconic and concentrated prose, here are fourteen short stories that reinforced Hemingway as an incisive and exceptional writer when they were first published in 1927. In these tales shorn of sensitivity and femininity, one meets real men, gunslingers, bullfighters, soldiers, jockeys, gangsters engaged in their macho pursuits, living life recklessly and resiliently. Hemingway's chiseled and sinewy sentences befit the stories he is telling as much as his characters make it crucial for the prose to be terse, hard-edged and masculine.
