First published in 1925, In Our Time was Ernest Hemingway?s first collection of short stories. These lucidly written and acutely insightful stories and vignettes of loss, war, separation, and grief heralded the themes Hemingway would master in his longer work and the pioneering writer he would go on to become. From stories about brutal reckonings and mournful homecomings to sketches about bullfighting, this collection is a must-read for both Hemingway fans and those who want to introduce themselves to the work of a great master.
