The First Forty Nine Stories - Paperback English by Ernest Hemingway - 34704
Availability: In Stock
$17.96
SpecificationsAbout the Author Ernest Hemingway ranks as the most famous of twentieth-century American writers; like Mark Twain Hemingway is one of those rare authors most people know about whether they have read him or not. The difference is that Twain with his white suit ubiquitous cigar and easy wit survives in the public imagination as a basically lovable figure while the deeply imprinted image of Hemingway as rugged and macho has been much less universally admired for all his fame. Hemingway has been regarded less as a writer dedicated to his craft than as a man of action who happened to be afflicted with genius. When he won the Nobel Prize in 1954 Time magazine reported the news under Heroes rather than Books and went on to describe the author as "a globe-trotting expert on bullfights booze women wars big game hunting deep sea fishing and courage." Hemingway did in fact address all those subjects in his books and he acquired his expertise through well-reported acts of participation as well as of observation; by going to all the wars of his time hunting and fishing for great beasts marrying four times occasionally getting into fistfights drinking too much and becoming in the end a worldwide celebrity recognizable for his signature beard and challenging physical pursuits.Author 1 Ernest HemingwayFormat PaperbackEditorial Review "Mr Hemingway applying that quick eye and wrist of his to the rings of the boxer and bull-fighter achieves some unforgettable reporting of the world in which blood is argument... The authors exceptional gift of narrative quality gives the excitement of a well-told tale to what is in fact a simple description of a scene" GuardianISBN-10 0099339218ISBN-13 9780099339212Language EnglishNumber of Pages 480View Full Specifications SpecificationsAbout the Author Ernest Hemingway ranks as the most famous of twentieth-century American writers; like Mark Twain Hemingway is one of those rare authors most people know about whether they have read him or not.

SpecificationsAbout the Author Neal Shusterman is an award-winning author whose books include the New York Times bestselling Unwind series and Challenger Deep which won a National Book Award. He also writes screenplays for film and television for shows such as Goosebumps and Animorphs. He lives in Southern California with his four children. Follow him on Twitter: @NealShustermanAuthor 1 Neal ShustermanBook Description A true successor to The Hunger Games. Maggie Stiefvater In a perfect world what is there left to fear? A chilling and thought-provoking sci-fi novel from New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman. A dark gripping and witty thriller in which the only thing humanity has control over is death. In a world where disease war and crime have been eliminated the only way to die is to be randomly killed "gleaned" by professional scythes. Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythes apprentices and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation they must learn the art of killing and understand the necessity of what they do. Only one of them will be chosen as a scythes apprentice and as Citra and Rowan come up against a terrifyingly corrupt Scythedom it becomes clear that the winning apprentices first task will be to glean the loser.Editorial Review This powerful tale is guaranteed to make readers think deeply. * Publishers Weekly starred review * This first volume in an anticipated trilogy offers forbidden love mass murders cool philosophical musings and a well-developed futuristic society-plenty to guarantee interest in the planned two followups. * BCCB starred review * Shusterman starts off this series in dramatic fashion as he creates an engrossing world that pulls readers in and refuses to let them go... A truly astounding unputdownable read and a fast-paced beginning to an excellent sci-fi series. A must-have. * School Library Journal starred review * Elegant and elegiac brooding but imbued with gallows humor Shustermans dark tale thrusts realistic likeable teens into a surreal situation and raises deep philosophic questions. A thoughtful and thrilling story of life death and meaning. * Kirkus starred review * Scythe owes an obvious debt to Unwind 2007 and its sequels and this succeeds as a sort of shadow companion to Patrick Ness Chaos Walking trilogy: instead of exploring the ways in which men are monsters this deals in what happens to men when there are no monsters. When our reach does not exceed our grasp when comfort is more easily obtained than struggle when our essential humanity doesnt burn out but becomes slowly irrelevant what becomes of us? Readers will find many things in these pages. Answers to such unsettling questions will not be among them. * Booklist starred review *ISBN-10 1406379247ISBN-13 9781406379242Language EnglishNumber of Pages 448View Full Specifications SpecificationsAbout the Author Neal Shusterman is an award-winning author whose books include the New York Times bestselling Unwind series and Challenger Deep which won a National Book Award.
