The Works of Ernest Hemingway presented by Kobo Editions - In Our Time

“In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.” The legendary author’s first published collection of short stories and vignettes was published in 1925, and introduced readers to the character of Nick Adams. Influenced by Ernest Hemingway’s experiences in the Great War, bullfighting in Spain, and the heartbreak of failed relationships, In Our Time is considered an early masterpiece of American literary fiction. Each story in the collection explores various periods of time in the author’s life, from traumatic events in childhood and disappointments in love, to horrific personal experiences on the Italian battlefront. Violence, death, and suffering are presented in Hemingway’s characteristic stark, incisive prose, painting a chilling portrait of the early 20th century. Kobo Editions offers this fully accessible version of the original text for your enjoyment.
