| Publisher Description: Ernest Hemingway's 1925 collection of short stories is considered his early masterpiece. It includes "Indian Camp" and "Big Two-Hearted River", two of his best-known Nick Adams stories. The stories contain themes Hemingway was to revisit over the course of his career. He wrote about initiation rites, early love, marriage problems, disappointment in family life and the importance of male comradeship. The collection conjures a world of violence and war, suffering, executions; it is a world stripped of romance. In Our Time is believed to be Hemingway's most experimental book, particularly with its unusual narrative form. The vignettes that open each chapter have no traditional sense of narrative; they begin in the middle. Shifting points of view and narrative perspectives disguise autobiographical details. |
