Ernest Hemingway Livres

À l’heure où Donald Trump quitte la Maison Blanche et que les États-Unis entrent dans une nouvelle ère, America tire sa révérence avec un dernier numéro agrémenté pour l’occasion d’un poster inédit et d’une vingtaine de pages supplémentaires. Dans ce 16ème opus, retrouvez d’abord un grand entretien avec l’écrivain irlando-américain Colum McCann qui nous avait fait l’honneur de participer au premier numéro. Persuadé du rôle déterminant de la littérature, l’auteur livre ses inquiétudes nouvelles mais aussi ses espoirs face à l’inconnue de ces années post-Trump. Alors que Joe Biden vient d’être élu 46ème président, America s’interroge sur l’avenir de l’Amérique à travers des portraits de figures démocrates, un reportage sur le devenir du trumpisme ou encore un essai sur les GAFA, les autres maitres du pays. Autre temps forts de ce numéro, un conte fantastique inédit de la star de la BD Emil Ferris inspiré de la trouble période du confinement, une nouvelle de l’immense écrivain Ernest Hemingway, encore jamais publiée en France, ainsi que le parti pris de l’auteure Rachel Kushner qui imagine la conclusion minable de la relation entre le fils de Donald Trump et sa petite amie, métaphore du désamour du pays pour la défaite en hommage au film « Shame ».

Avec Cinquante mille dollars, qui relate un combat de boxe truqué, L'invincible, l'un des premiers textes d'Hemingway sur la corrida, et Les tueurs, qui connut une magnifique adaptation cinématographique avec Ava Gardner et Burt Lancaster, ce recueil rassemble trois des plus célèbres et des plus représentatives nouvelles du grand écrivain américain.

La guerre civile espagnole a inspiré à Ernest Hemingway un de ses plus dramatiques et célèbres romans : Pour qui sonne le glas. Le film qui en a été tiré, et dont Ingrid Bergman et Gary Cooper étaient les héros, étendit encore sa très grande popularité. Un pont, dans la montagne de Castille, doit sauter : il faut couper la route à l'armée franquiste. Pour cette mission précise, Robert Jordan, jeune Américain enrôlé volontaire dans les rangs républicains, rejoint un groupe de maquisards espagnols parmi lesquels se trouvent deux femmes : la terrible Pilar et la tendre Maria pour laquelle Jordan va immédiatement éprouver une vive passion. L'amour suspendra le temps, éloignera la solitude et fera oublier la mort.

Histoire d'amour poignante sur fond de tourmente guerrière, "L'adieu aux armes" suit le lieutenant américain Frederic Henry, qui sert dans le corps des ambulances de l'armée italienne pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Stationné dans le nord de l'Italie, il rencontre la belle infirmière anglaise Catherine Barkley et tombe amoureux d'elle. Leur passion est cependant assombrie par les horreurs de la guerre. Frederic se rend au front avec un petit détachement, qui subit de lourdes pertes lors d'une offensive, et il doit décider s'il doit déserter ou mourir. Dans cette prose captivante et semi-autobiographique, Hemingway, s'inspirant de ses propres expériences militaires, dépeint les réalités brutales de la guerre, son absurdité et sa cruauté insensée, ainsi que la souffrance des amants pris au piège par des forces supérieures à leurs désirs individuels. Le portrait du protagoniste reflète l'isolement et la désillusion de la génération perdue, ceux qui ont atteint l'âge adulte pendant la guerre.

La mer abrite des millions de poissons, mais le vieux pêcheur n'a rien pris depuis quatre-vingt-cinq jours. Elle s'étend à l'infini, les côtes cubaines s'éloignent inexorablement, et pourtant, il s'agit d'un roman de l'enfermement. Le Vieil Homme et la mer, durant trois jours entiers, se retrouvent face à face. Rare élément féminin dans ce récit qui oppose deux volontés viriles et où la douceur maternelle provient d'un gamin, la mer est le lieu du lien. Lien entre le vieil homme et l'espadon, entre le pêcheur et la vie, lien entre le retour et le départ, l'eau est un lieu de séjour transitoire entre la vie et la mort. A peine un purgatoire, car l'on imagine mal cet homme à l'âme sublime avoir commis aucun péché, la mer fait surgir en lui des sentiments d'amour profond, de respect pour la vie, mais aussi de manque et de lassitude. Les expressions reviennent sans cesse, les images sont récurrentes et la voix parle à l'esprit dont elle émane. Les poissons volent, comme mus par la tension incessante de l'esprit, qui ne tient plus qu'à un fil ténu, corde de ligne bandée jusqu'à la limite. Dans cet univers de répétition, le langage irisé de reflets d'argent semble naître d'un pathétique besoin d'émancipation. --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters

Apprenant le succès de son second roman, David Boume, jeune écrivain américain qui passe sa lune de miel sur la côte méditerranéenne, est impatient de se remettre à écrire. Jalouse de son travail, sa femme Catherine lui fait rencontrer une inconnue, Marita, et s'emploie à créer une étrange relation érotique qui les enferme dans le triangle d'un invivable huis clos. Jusqu'à quelle extrémité peut aller l'amour de l'autre, le désir de le connaître et de s'assimiler à lui ? L'art a-t-il tout à perdre ou tout à gagner de cette passion excessive ?

Considéré comme l'un des meilleurs livres jamais écrits sur la tauromachie, "Mort dans l'après-midi" offre un regard passionné sur ce sport par l'un de ses véritables aficionados. Il reflète la conviction de Hemingway que la tauromachie était plus qu'un simple sport et révèle une riche source d'inspiration pour son art. Le drame inégalé de la tauromachie, avec sa combinaison rigoureuse d'athlétisme et d'art, ainsi que son affichage nécessaire de grâce sous pression, a enflammé l'imagination de Hemingway. Il décrit et explique les aspects techniques de ce rituel dangereux et "l'intensité émotionnelle et spirituelle et la pure beauté classique qui peuvent être produites par un homme, un animal et un morceau de serge écarlate drapé sur un bâton." À travers ses yeux, la tauromachie devient un ballet richement chorégraphié, avec des interprètes allant d'amateurs maladroits à des maîtres d'une grande élégance et ruse. Un regard fascinant sur l'histoire et la grandeur de la tauromachie, "Mort dans l'après-midi" est aussi une contemplation plus profonde de la nature de la lâcheté et du courage, du sport et de la tragédie, animée tout au long par le commentaire acéré de Hemingway sur la vie et la littérature.

Paris, années 1920. Jake Barnes, journaliste américain, retrouve la belle et frivole Lady Ashley, perdue dans une quête effrénée d'amants. Nous les suivons, s'abîmant dans l'alcool, des bars parisiens aux arènes espagnoles, en passant par les ruisseaux à truites des Pyrénées. Leurs compagnons, Robert Cohn, Michael Campbell, sont autant d'hommes à la dérive, marqués au fer rouge par la Première Guerre mondiale. Dans un style limpide, d'une efficacité redoutable, Hemingway dépeint le Paris des écrivains de l'entre-deux-guerres et les fameuses fêtes de San Fermín. Ses héros, oscillant sans cesse entre mal de vivre et jouissance de l'instant présent, sont devenus les emblèmes de cette génération que Gertrude Stein qualifia de "perdue". (4e de couv.)

... ils commencèrent à prendre de l'altitude en direction de l'Est, semblait-il ; après quoi, cela s'obscurcit et ils se trouvèrent en pleine tempête, la pluie tellement drue qu'on eût cru voler à travers une cascade, et puis ils en sortirent et Compie tourna la tête et sourit en montrant quelque chose du doigt et là, devant eux, tout ce qu'il pouvait voir, vaste comme le monde, immense, haut et incroyablement blanc dans le soleil, c'était le sommet carré du Kilimandjaro. Et alors il comprit que c'était là qu'il allait. Les Neiges du Kilimandjaro (The Snows of Kilimanjaro) Un endroit propre et bien éclairé (A Clean, Well-Lighted Place) Une jounée d’attente (A Day's Wait) Le Vieil Homme près du pont (Old Man at the Bridge) Le Joueur, la Religieuse et la Radio (The Gambler, the Nun, and the Radio) Pères et Fils (Fathers and Sons) Dans un pays étranger (In Another Country) Les Tueurs (The Killers) Ça ne risque pas de vous arriver (A Way You'll Never Be) Cinquante mille dollars (Fifty Grand) L'Heure triomphale de Francis Macomber (The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber) Dix Indiens (Ten Indians)

Ernest Hemingway, Amerikan edebiyatının devlerinden biridir. Bu kitapta onun en belles histoires, chacune avec des personnages distincts, se rejoignent par leur vivacité et leur maîtrise à représenter la vie telle qu'elle est.

Le jeune Paco arrive à Madrid avec un rêve : devenir torero. Serveur dans une petite pension de famille, il fait la connaissance d'Enrique qui décide de lui enseigner les rudiments du métier... Francis et Margot Macomber, un couple de riches Américains, font un safari de chasse en Afrique. Après s'être enfui devant un lion blessé, Macomber décide de se racheter en tuant un buffle. Deux histoires de rêves brisés, deux nouvelles poignantes et passionnées pour découvrir l'univers de l'un des plus grands écrivains américains.

" Ai été nommé garde-chasse honoraire et à cause des événements (la rébellion mau-mau), fais ici office de garde-chasse suppléant. C'est une vie de première classe ", écrit Hemingway depuis son camp de safari, au Kenya, en janvier 1954. Ecrit au lendemain des deux accidents d'avion survenus au Congo belge, mis en forme par son fils Patrick, ce roman inédit de Hemingway forme le contrepoint des récits africains et du premier safari que fit l'écrivain. Au pied du Kilimandjaro, en compagnie de sa quatrième femme, Mary, qui elle aussi est décidée à tuer son lion, Hemingway, promu gardien de réserve, est chargé de protéger les populations massaï et kamba. Aux descriptions magiques de cette Afrique, où une chose est vérité à l'aube et mensonge à midi, s'ajoute une brève rencontre africaine avec une jeune et ravissante Kamba. Dans ce récit, Hemingway mêle les souvenirs du Montana, du Michigan et du Paris de sa jeunesse avec des réflexions sur les écrivains et l'écriture. L'humour féroce alterne avec une nostalgie poignante.

De Baudelaire à Saint-Exupéry, une anthologie de lettres d'écrivains adressées à la femme qui leur a donné la vie. Souvenirs, tendresse, promenades, contes de fées, l'heure du coucher... Baudelaire, Saint-Exupéry, Cocteau, Proust ou Hemingway, tous ont partagé ces moments privilégiés de l'enfance avec leur maman. Plus tard, les difficultés sont apparues, les désaccords ont parfois séparé les fils de leur mère, mais le sentiment irremplaçable d'un amour sans limites n'a jamais disparu. Ces lettres témoignent de ces histoires passionnées, des disputes et des réconciliations, des chagrins et des joies de quelques-uns des plus grands écrivains avec la femme qui leur a donné la vie.

Un écrivain désabusé voyage en Floride avec une femme beaucoup plus jeune que lui: ils vont au restaurant, boivent un verre, parlent de la guerre d'Espagne, de leur vie, d'avenir, font l'amour... Soudain tout se trouble, le soupçon de l'inceste rôde, les difficultés à écrire et à vivre ressurgissent et, avec elles, l'inexorable fatalité.

Santiago, pêcheur cubain très pauvre, n'a d'affection dans la vie qu'un gamin qui l'accompagne. Depuis longtemps il n'a rien pris. Le jour de ses 85 ans, le vieux part seul. Un énorme espadon mord. Mais, après trois jours de lutte, les requins ne lui laisseront rien. Met en valeur des thèmes essentiels chez l'auteur : rituel, quête, défaite, mort.

L'annotation présente une série d'œuvres emblématiques d'un auteur majeur, incluant des récits et poèmes qui explorent des thèmes de guerre, d'amour et de vie à Paris. L'auteur est décrit comme un héros moderne, célébré pour son talent et son influence, notamment après la Première Guerre mondiale. Il a su capturer l'essence de son expérience en tant que jeune Américain à Paris, où il s'est imprégné de la culture locale, fréquentant musées et bistrots, tout en écrivant des histoires inspirées de ses observations. Parmi ses œuvres notables figurent des récits sur la guerre et des réflexions sur la vie, dont "Le Soleil se lève aussi" et "L'Adieu aux armes", ce dernier étant salué comme un chef-d'œuvre de la littérature romantique. Les traductions de ces textes, réalisées par M. E. Coindreau, sont particulièrement appréciées pour leur qualité. L'annotation mentionne également des nouvelles moins connues qui offrent un aperçu de la jeunesse de l'auteur dans le Michigan, ainsi qu'une satire amusante de ses influences littéraires. Enfin, l'auteur est reconnu comme le premier écrivain étranger contemporain à entrer dans le Panthéon de la Pléiade, un hommage à son impact durable sur la littérature.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) is celebrated as a novelist and man of action. He is perhaps most famous for WHOM THE BELL TOLLS and A FAREWELL TO ARMS.

From Ernest Hemingway's Preface: 'There are many kinds of stories in this book. I hope you will find some that you like- In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining, and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused.'A collection of Hemingway's first forty-nine short stories, featuring a brief introduction by the author and lesser known as well as familiar tales, including 'Up in Michigan', 'Fifty Grand', and 'The Light of the World', and the Snows of Kilimanjaro, Winner Take Nothing' and Men Without Women collections.

Imbued with Hemingway's wit, wisdom, and humor, Ernest Hemingway on Writing offers essential advice from an author who has had an astounding impact on contemporary American fiction.

From childhood, Ernest Hemingway was a passionate fisherman, often writing about his favorite sport. This collection gathers his significant writings on various fishing experiences, from trout in northern Michigan to marlin in the Gulf Stream. In A Moveable Feast, he reflects on writing in a Paris café, expressing a desire to remain by the river, a sentiment echoed in his classic story, "Big Two-Hearted River." He also penned articles for the Toronto Star on fishing in Canada and Europe, as well as for Esquire, detailing his growing enthusiasm for big-game fishing. His later works, The Old Man and the Sea and Islands in the Stream, highlight his deep knowledge of the ocean and its creatures. This diverse collection spans from the early Nick Adams stories to memorable chapters on the Irati River in The Sun Also Rises, showcasing the evolution of a great writer's passion and his ability to transform fishing into compelling literature. Anglers and literary enthusiasts alike will appreciate this important anthology.

Set in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Havana, Hemingway's magnificent fable is the story of an old man, a young boy, and a giant fish. Here, in a perfectly crafted story, is a unique and timeless vision of the beauty and grief of man's challenge to the elements in which he lives. Not a single word is superfluous in this widely admired masterpiece.

This collection comprises: Fiesta, Hemingway's first major novel; long extracts from A Farewell to Arms, To Have and Have Not and For Whom the Bell Tolls; 25 complete short stories; and the Epilogue to Death in the Afternoon.

With contributions from writers as diverse as Rudyard Kipling, John Steinbeck, Charles Darwin, Ted Hughes, Ernest Hemingway and Dick King-Smith, this is a collection of over 20 stories and extracts about the animal kingdom.'

Alternate cover editions exist here and here. The famous Nick Adams stories show a memorable character growing from child to adolescent to soldier, veteran, writer, and parent - a sequence closely paralleling the events of Hemingway's life."But," as Philip Young writes in the preface, "Hemingway naturally intended his stories to be understood and enjoyed without regard for such considerations - as they have been for a long time."

Original. Movie tie-in.

First published in 1970, nine years after Ernest Hemingway's death, Islands in the Stream is the story of an artist and adventurer — a man much like Hemingway himself. Rich with the uncanny sense of life and action characteristic of his writing — from his earliest stories (In Our Time) to his last novella (The Old Man and the Sea) — this compelling novel contains both the warmth of recollection that inspired A Moveable Feast and a rare glimpse of Hemingway's rich and relaxed sense of humor, which enlivens scene after scene. Beginning in the 1930s, Islands in the Stream follows the fortunes of Thomas Hudson from his experiences as a painter on the Gulf Stream island of Bimini, where his loneliness is broken by the vacation visit of his three young sons, to his antisubmarine activities off the coast of Cuba during World War II. The greater part of the story takes place in a Havana bar, where a wildly diverse cast of characters — including an aging prostitute who stands out as one of Hemingway's most vivid creations — engages in incomparably rich dialogue. A brilliant portrait of the inner life of a complex and endlessly intriguing man, Islands in the Stream is Hemingway at his mature best.

Hemingway won the Nobel prize for Literature in 1954 for the lod man and the sea.

A collection of Ernest Hemingway’s works from the early 1920s, including one of his most famous works, The Sun Also Rises, as well as short stories and poems. Ernest Hemingway’s first novel, The Sun Also Rises, is also his most widely acclaimed. Set against the backdrop of Paris café society and the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, the novel focuses on the lives of American expatriates in the 1920s. Although the Lost Generation is often considered to have been damaged and dissolute in the aftermath of World War I, Hemingway portrays them as strong characters who are imbued with independence. This leather-bound edition also includes Hemingway’s novella The Torrents of Spring, the short story collection In Our Time (1925), and various other short stories, poems, and newspaper and magazine articles from the early 1920s. A scholarly introduction examines Hemingway’s life and writing career, providing readers with a deeper understanding of his works.

In 1959, Hemingway traveled to Spain to write three articles about bullfighting for "Life." This posthumously published text emerged during his late return to the country he cherished as a second home. The work captures his deep appreciation for the culture and the art of bullfighting, exploring themes of bravery, tradition, and the complex relationship between man and nature. Through vivid descriptions and personal reflections, Hemingway delves into the emotional and physical intensity of the bullfighting arena, revealing the profound impact it had on him. The narrative serves as both a tribute to the sport and a meditation on life, death, and the human experience, showcasing Hemingway's masterful prose and his enduring connection to Spain.

Featuring Hemingway's only full-length play, which--like the stories here--grew out of his experiences in and around a besieged Madrid, this volume brilliantly evokes the tumultuous years of the Spanish Civil War. These works, which grew from Hemingway's adventures as a newspaper correspondent in and around besieged Madrid, movingly portray the effects of war on soldiers, civilians, and the correspondents sent to cover it.

Inspired by Hemingway's adventures as a newspaper correspondent in Spain in the 1930s, The Fifth Column and Four Stories of the Spanish Civil War magnificently evokes life in a besieged city over a tumultuous decade.

When In Our Time was published in 1925, it was praised by Ford Madox Ford, John Dos Passos, and F. Scott Fitzgerald for its simple and precise use of language to convey a wide range of complex emotions, and it earned Hemingway a place beside Sherwood Anderson and Gertrude Stein among the most promising American writers of that period. In Our Time contains several early Hemingway classics, including the famous Nick Adams stories "Indian Camp," "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife," "The Three Day Blow," and "The Battler," and introduces readers to the hallmarks of the Hemingway style: a lean, tough prose--enlivened by an ear for the colloquial and an eye for the realistic that suggests, through the simplest of statements, a sense of moral value and a clarity of heart. Now recognized as one of the most original short story collections in twentieth-century literature, In Our Time provides a key to Hemingway's later works

"The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" is a short story set in Africa. It was published in the September 1936 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine concurrently with "The Snows of Kilimanjaro."

Green Hills of Africa is Ernest Hemingway's lyrical journal of a month on safari in the great game country of East Africa, where he and his wife Pauline journeyed in December 1933. Hemingway's well-known interest in - and fascination with - big-game hunting is magnificently captured in this evocative account of his trip. It is an examination of the lure of the hunt and an impassioned portrait of the glory of the African landscape and of the beauty of a wilderness that was, even then, being threatened by the incursions of man.

A second collection of short stories that once again establish Hemingway as a novelist of exceptional power. Hemingway's men are bullfighters and boxers, hired hands and hard drinkers, gangsters and gunmen. Each of their stories deals with masculine toughness, unsoftened by woman's hand. Incisive, hard edged, pared down to the bare minimum, they are classic Hemingway territory.

Ernest Hemingway's adventure novel set on the verge of the tropics. 'Listen,' I told him. 'Don't be so tough so early in the morning. I'm sure you've cut plenty of people's throats. I haven't even had my coffee yet.' Harry Morgan is a tough guy making his living during the Depression from his motor boat in Key West, Florida. Although he normally takes out fishing parties, sometimes his boat can be put to other uses. If the money offered is worth his while, Harry will run guns, rum and men to and from Cuba. But he is playing a dicey game. Hemingway's hardest hero risks not just his living, but his life. 'Absorbing and moving. It opens with a fusillade of bullets, reaches its climax with another, and sustains a high pitch of excitement throughout' Times Literary Supplement

Chinese edition of "Across the River and Into the Trees," a poignant story about an untimely love for an American colonel much like Hemingway himself and an Italian girl.

Ernest Hemingway never wished to be widely known as a poet. He concentrated on writing short stories and novels, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1956. But his poetry deserves close attention, if only because it is so revealing. Through verse he expressed anger and disgust—at Dorothy Parker and Edmund Wilson, among others. He parodied the poems and sensibilities of Rudyard Kipling, Joyce Kilmer, Robert Graves, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Gertrude Stein. He recast parts of poems by the likes of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, giving them his own twist. And he invested these poems with the preoccupations of his novels: sex and desire, battle and aftermath, cats, gin, and bullfights. Nowhere is his delight in drubbing snobs and overrefined writers more apparent. In this revised edition of the Complete Poems , the editor, Nicholas Gerogiannis, offers here an afterword assessing the influence of the collection, first published in 1979, and an updated bibliography. Readers will be particularly interested in the addition of "Critical Intelligence," a poem written soon after Hemingway's divorce from his first wife in 1927. Also available as a Bison Book: Hemingway's Quarrel with Androgyny by Mark Spilka.

An early gem from the greatest American writer of the 20th century, The Torrents of Spring is a hilarious parody of the Chicago school of literature. Poking fun at that "great race" of writers, it depicts a vogue that Hemingway himself refused to follow. In style & substance, The Torrents of Spring is a burlesque of Sherwood Anderson's Dark Laughter, but in the course of the narrative, other literary tendencies associated with American & British writers akin to Anderson--such as D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce & John Dos Passos--come in for satirical comment. A highly entertaining story, The Torrents of Spring offers a rare glimpse into Hemingway's early career as a storyteller & stylist.

The death of Ernest Hemingway in 1961 marked the end of a remarkable and influential career in American literature, with his works translated into every major language. Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954, Hemingway's impact on contemporary writing is undeniable. While many are familiar with his public persona, this collection of nearly 600 letters reveals a more intimate side of the author. Spanning from 1917 to 1961, these letters serve as both a self-portrait and an autobiography, showcasing Hemingway's candid communication with family, friends, enemies, and notable contemporaries. Curated by Carlos Baker, the selection highlights key moments in Hemingway's career while showcasing his character, wit, and passion for hunting, fishing, drinking, and eating. The letters vary from ingratiating to truculent, offering insights into his views on writing, literature, and various subjects, including women, soldiers, and politicians. More than anything, they reveal his irrepressible humor, often more pronounced in his correspondence than in his published works. This informal biography, reflecting 45 years of living and writing, leaves a lasting impression of an extraordinary man. Born in Oak Park, IL, in 1899, Hemingway began his career as a reporter before serving in WWI. He later moved to Paris, where he became part of a vibrant expatriate community and produced iconic novels. He passed away in Ketchum, Idaho, on July 2, 1961.
