The Library of America's definitive Hemingway edition continues with three classic works, all presented in new, corrected texts.

This much anticipated second volume in Library of America’s edition of the collected writings of Ernest Hemingway brings together 3 of the author’s classic works from the late 1920s and early 1930s, all presented in new, corrected texts prepared by Hemingway scholar Robert W. Trogdon. Reinstating expletives redacted by Hemingway’s editor Maxwell Perkins, fixing numerous errors, and restoring Hemingway’s preferred American spellings, these texts bring us closer than ever before to Hemingway’s intentions for his books. Here for the first time in one volume are:

  • Men Without Women (1927), Hemingway's second short story collection, which includes such classic stories as “In Another Country,” “The Killers,” “Ten Indians,” and “Hills Like White Elephants”
  • A Farewell to Arms (1929), Hemingway's heartbreaking novel of love and war
  • Death in the Afternoon (1932), his grand meditation on bullfighting, mortality, and writing.  For this deluxe edition, all 81 of the book’s photographs of bullfights and bullfighters have been reproduced from the original prints and postcards gathered by the author, bringing them vividly to life as never before.

The volume also includes a selection of Hemingway’s letters from 1927 to 1932 that cast light on his life, artistic aims, and publishing activities during this period. A detailed chronology of the author’s life, explanatory notes, and a textual essay bring added value for readers.
Born in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois in 1899, Ernest Hemingway left home at seventeen to become a reporter for the Kansas City Star, then served as a Red Cross volunteer on the Italian front, where he suffered shrapnel wounds. He moved to Paris in 1921 and became part of an international expatriate scene that included Gertrude Stein and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Among his numerous books are In Our Time (1925), The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), and For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Hemingway took his life in Ketchum, Idaho in 1961.

Robert W. Trogdon is professor of English at Kent State University and a leading scholar of 20th century American literature and textual editing. He has published extensively on the works of Ernest Hemingway. He serves as an editor of The Cambridge Edition of the Letters of Ernest Hemingway.
