2,173 books32.2k followersErnest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer and journalist. Best known for an economical, understated style that significantly influenced later 20th-century writers, he is often romanticized for his adventurous lifestyle, and outspoken and blunt public image. Most of Hemingway's works were published between the mid-1920s and mid-1950s, including seven novels, six short-story collections and two non-fiction works. His writings have become classics of American literature; he was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature, while three of his novels, four short-story collections and three nonfiction works were published posthumously.
Hemingway was raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After high school, he spent six months as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star before enlisting in the Red Cross. He served as an ambulance driver on the Italian Front in World War I and was seriously wounded in 1918. His wartime experiences formed the basis for his 1929 novel A Farewell to Arms. He married Hadley Richardson in 1921, the first of four wives. They moved to Paris where he worked as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star and fell under the influence of the modernist writers and artists of the 1920s' "Lost Generation" expatriate community. His debut novel The Sun Also Rises was published in 1926.
He divorced Richardson in 1927 and married Pauline Pfeiffer. They divorced after he returned from the Spanish Civil War, where he had worked as a journalist and which formed the basis for his 1940 novel For Whom the Bell Tolls. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940. He and Gellhorn separated after he met Mary Welsh Hemingway in London during World War II. Hemingway was present with Allied troops as a journalist at the Normandy landings and the liberation of Paris. He maintained permanent residences in Key West, Florida, in the 1930s and in Cuba in the 1940s and 1950s. On a 1954 trip to Africa, he was seriously injured in two plane accidents on successive days, leaving him in pain and ill health for much of the rest of his life. In 1959, he bought a house in Ketchum, Idaho, where, on July 2, 1961 (a couple weeks before his 62nd birthday), he killed himself using one of his shotguns.

I am a Hemmingway fan and have all these books in various forms (printed and eBooks) looking at the set which was a silly price, i decided to install the complete boxset onto my kindle.
i couldn't find a contents page so anything i wanted to read involved searching through the entire book.
as the books started with the Old Man and the Sea and ended with a Farwell to arms. i gave up the search and removed the box set.

Awful edition
One great long sausage of text. Formatting all over the place. Looks as though it may have been translated back into English from another language to bypass copyright issues, so we get titles like ‘A Farewell to the Arms’. Don’t stint: if you want to read Hemingway get hold of a proper edition.

Hemingway is awesome - these AI scanned conpendiums are super annoying.
Buy this book if you like reading one gigantic 1500page book with no table of contents, usable chapters. etc.
I would never have bought this book if I realised that it wasn't a published edition.
Also frustrating because you will often find sentances that don't make sense and misspelt w0rd5 apparently because the scanner they used couldn't render the original properly.
Buy books from a publisher and get the words that the author actually wrote. (I don't work for a publisher).
