[This edition is in Bulgarian.] Before he gained wide fame and accolades as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary…
reputation with his short stories. “The Short and Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” the titular story of this collection, was originally published in Cosmopolitan magazine in 1936 and is among Hemingway’s most celebrated work. Set in Africa on a big-game safari, it is a story of betrayal, courage, and the relationship between a husband and wife. Other stories in this collection include “The Capital of the World,” “A Way You’ll Never Be,” “A Day’s Wait,” and “Fathers and Sons.” All sixteen stories showcase the singular talent of a master, the most important American writer of the twentieth century.
[This edition is in Bulgarian.] The best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is…
the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Hemingway’s frank portrayal of the love between Lieutenant Henry and Catherine Barkley, caught in the inexorable sweep of war, glows with an intensity unrivaled in modern literature, while his description of the German attack on Caporetto—of lines of fired men marching in the rain, hungry, weary, and demoralized—is one of the greatest moments in literary history. A story of love and pain, of loyalty and desertion, A Farewell to Arms, written when he was thirty years old, represents a new romanticism for Hemingway.
