Resumen: La lucha desigual de un hombre, en el ocaso de su vida, contra la naturaleza, llena de peligros y zozobras y contra un enorme pez jamás visto, adquiere por momentos connotaciones de heroica epopeya en este relato del norteamericano Ernest Hemingway, uno de los autores más importantes de la "Generación Perdida", nombre con que se designó a los creadores que lucharon en las trincheras de la Primera Guerra Mundial.

Resumen: "Although this book is a parody and most delightfully funny it is of course a real work of art itself. Some of the scenes, particularly the one wherw the magnificent squaw breaks into the beanery, completely sweep one off one's feet with enthusiasm as well as leave one rolling on the floor with laughter".

Resumen: Instead of beginning his career as a writer of promise, Ernest Hemingway startled the world, and especially his own generation, with The sun also rises, his first full-length novel. The disinherited and disillusioned survivors of the World War discovered in him their spokesman, a writer free of sentimentality and cant who could summon forth characters true to their own experience and way of life. The sun also rises, is a chronicle of a lost generation drifting, frustrated and demoralized, to its doom.

Resumen: Los cuentos de Ernest Hemingway no son sólo lo mejor de su obra, según suele admitir la crítica, sino que constituyen también uno de los libros fundamentales para entender el siglo xx. En esta edición recuperamos, en una nueva traducción de Damián Alou, la recopilación que el propio Hemingway hiciera de todos sus cuentos en 1938, conocida como Los cuarenta y nueve primeros cuentos y donde se encuentran relatos tan magistrales como "Los asesinos", "Las nieves del Kilimanjaro" o "Padres e hijos". El mundo estético y moral de Hemingway -ese espacio traspasado por la soledad, la individualidad y la brutalidad- se halla aquí destilado, despojado de todo ornamento, encerrado en el sustantivo y el adjetivo precisos, seco, sobrio, cegador, latente. La caza, la pesca, el boxeo, la guerra, el alcohol, el deseo o la derrota son algunos de los materiales con que se construye esta obra cuyo aliento perdura con un vigor insospechado.

Resumen: In this book Hemingway retums to Italy, the scene of his earlier c1assic, "A Farewell to Arms, This time the war is just over and in Venice, a city elaborately and affectionately described, an American colonel falls passionately, totally in love with an Italian countess. He is embittered, war-scarred, old enough to be her father but is bowled over by the selflessness and freshness of the love she is offering... But this is no fairy tale. The fighting may be finished but the wounds of war have not yet healed-and for some the longed- for peace has come too late.
