The Short Stories (Volume III) - Ernest Hemingway (CD)
Title: R is for Ricochet Title: The Short Stories (Volume III) Author: Ernest Hemingway Genre: Fiction / Classic Fiction Format: CD. 5 CDs 5 Hrs (Unabridged) Synopsis: Before he gained wide fame as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary reputation with his short stories. Set in the varied landscapes of Spain, Africa, and the American Midwest, this definitive audio collection traces the development and maturation of Hemingway's distinct and revolutionary storytelling style -- from the plain bold language of this first story to his mastery of seamless prose that contained a spare, eloquent pathos, as well as a sense of expansive solitude. These stories showcase the singular talent of a master, the most important American writer of the twentieth century. The Short Stories Volume III features Stacy Keach reading such favorites as: An Alpine Idyll, A Pursuit Race, Today is Friday, Banal Story, Now I Lay Me, After the Storm, A Clean, Well-lighted Place, The Light of the World, God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen, The Sea Change, A Way You'll Never Be, The Mother of the Queen, One Reader Writes, Homage to Switzerland, A Day's Wait, A Natural History of the Dead, Wine of Wyoming, The Gambler, The Nun, and the Radio, and Fathers and Sons. Review: Library Journal Like the initial installations in the series, this release mixes noted classics such as "A Clean, Well-lighted Place" with lesser-known pieces, including "Today Is Friday" and "One Reader Writes." Several ("A Natural History of the Dead," "Wine of Wyoming") are among Hemingway's more tedious works, but Stacy Keach rises to the occasion and keeps them moving. Also as in the earlier volumes, this combines Nick Adams stories ("Now I Lay Me," "The Light of the World") with those featuring other protagonists ("After the Storm," "The Gambler," "The Nun and the Radio") and is capped beautifully with "Fathers and Sons." Although all the volumes are top shelf, if one wanted to nitpick, it would have been nice if stories such as "A Way You'll Never Be," featuring a shell-shocked Adams, had been followed by "The Big Two-Hearted River," in which he heals himself through fishing. One hopes that in the future the publisher will combine all the Adams stories into a single program. Nonetheless, like its predecessors, this third collection will be warmly embraced by Hemingway fans. Recommended.-Michael Rogers, "Library Journal" Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information
