<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>First published in 1926--and out of print for several years--"The Torrents of Spring" is not only a rare and invaluable example of Hemingway's early writings, but a wonderfully entertaining novel.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An early gem of satire and humor from the greatest American writer of the twentieth century.</b> <p/>First published in 1926, <i>The Torrents of Spring</i> is a hilarious parody of the Chicago school of literature. Poking fun at that great race of writers, it depicts a vogue that Hemingway himself refused to follow. In style and substance, <i>The Torrents of Spring</i> is a burlesque of Sherwood Anderson's <i>Dark Laughter</i>, but in the course of the narrative, other literary tendencies associated with American and British writers akin to Anderson--such as D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce, and John Dos Passos--come in for satirical comment. A highly entertaining story, <i>The Torrents of Spring </i>offers a rare glimpse into Hemingway's early career as a storyteller and stylist.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of <i>The Sun Also Rises</i> and <i>A Farewell to Arms</i> immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel <i>The</i> <i>Old Man and the Sea</i> won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, <i>Hemingway</i>. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.
