His writing suggests, through the simplest of statements, a sense of moral value and a clarity of vision. <p/>Now recognized as one of the most important short story collections of twentieth-century literature, <i>In Our Time</i> provides key insights into Hemingway's later works.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Hemingway's language is fibrous and athletic, colloquial and fresh, hard and clean... he packs a whole character into a phrase, an entire situation into a sentence or two. He makes each word count three or four ways."<br> <b>--<i>The New York Times </i> </b> <p/>"There's something immortal about these short pieces. They are absolute miracles of prose, of description, of evocation. They take you there."<br> <b>--Edna O'Brien</b> <p/>"Ernest Hemingway is a new, honest, un-literary transcriber of life - a Writer." <br> <b>--<i>Time</i></b><br><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.
