- Men Without Women (1927), Hemingway's second short story collection, which includes such classic stories as "In Another Country," "The Killers," "Ten Indians," and "Hills Like White Elephants"
- A Farewell to Arms (1929), Hemingway's heartbreaking novel of love and war
- Death in the Afternoon (1932), his grand meditation on bullfighting, mortality, and writing. All 81 photographs that appeared in Death in the Afternoon come scintillatingly alive here, reproduced from the original negatives for the first time since the book's publication.
The volume also includes a selection of Hemingway's letters from 1927 to 1932 that cast light on his life, artistic aims, and publishing activities during this period. A detailed chronology of the author's life, explanatory notes, and a textual essay bring added value for readers.
