There, he ame into contact with Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, James Joyce, and other expatriate writers and artists integral to his rapid development as a writer. This volume brings together work from the extraordinary period of 1918 to 1926, in which Hemingway's famous prose style became fully formed. It includes his work for the <i>Toronto Star</i> and Hearst's International News Service, the indelible stories of <i>In Our Time</i> (1925), <i>The Torrents of Spring</i> (1925), and his masterpiece, <i>The Sun Also Rises</i> (1926). <p/>Edited by Hemingway scholar Robert W. Trogdon, this volume features newly edited, corrected texts of <i>In Our Time</i>, <i>The Torrents of Spring</i> and <i>The Sun Also Rises</i>, fixing errors and restoring Hemingway's original punctuation. It presents the 1924 edition of <i>in our time</i> issued by Three Mountains Press as a modernist masterpiece in its own right, apart from the subsequent versions published by Boni & Liveright and Scribners. It includes the story "Up in Michigan," one of only a few stories dating from the period before 1923 that was not lost in Hemingway's suitcase in the Gare de Lyon and that was originally intended as the opening story of <i>In Our Time</i>, and the hard-to-find, previously uncollected story "A Divine Gesture." Also here are a selection of Hemingway's letters from the period, which cast light on his breakthrough years and at the extraordinary international modernist moment of which he was a crucial part.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Born in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park Illinois in 1899, <b>Ernest Hemingway</b> left home at seventeen to become a reporter for the <i>Kansas City Star</i>, then served as a Red Cross volunteer on the Italian front, where he suffered shrapnel wounds.
