Men Without Women

The early collection that contains some of Ernest Hemingway's most enduringly famous short stories

Ernest Hemingway, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, did more to change the style of fiction in English than any other writer of his time with his economical prose and terse, declarative sentences that conceal more than they reveal. Men Without Women, published in 1927, was his second collection of stories, and shows him solidifying his mastery of the form. The collection touches on many of his favorite subjects—bullfighting, prizefighting, infidelity, divorce, and death—and contains classic stories that have come to be pillars of his literary reputation, including “The Killers,” “Hills Like White Elephants,” and “In Another Country.” VINTAGE CLASSICS.
