Four Novels: Complete and Unabridged

If you are into Hemingway or you've never read his work before, this is the book to read. These are his four greatest novels rolled into one. If you want to be able to hold your own in a conversation about Hemingway, read these four books and you will know what his style is all about!

It does not get much better than these four great novels by the 20th century's best writer of men and war - be it war with a woman, with an enemy or with the elements. For Whom the Bell Tolls is the finaest political novel ever written and you will not find a better story of the sea than The Old Man and the Sea. So read these books and see why Papa was the champ.

"The Library of Essential Writers" series of books are affordable and beautiful editions, not to mention sturdy [they are all in hardcover] and number about 31 works in all. In this collection of Ernest Hemingway's 4 novels, the works are "The Sun Also Rises", "A Farewell to Arms", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and "The Old Man and the Sea". The works are preceded by a brief introduction by Eric Carl Link, the author of "The Vast and Terrible Drama: American Literary Naturalism in the Late Nineteenth Century". This edition is complemented by "The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition".

Let's cut straight to the chase: these are the four best longer-form stories from Hemingway, far and away. All in a single book, what a treat! Maybe technically the Pullitzer-prize winning "The Old Man and the Sea' is a novella, but it really doesn't matter: these are the 4 wonderful fiction books he wrote. If you have these novels plus the "Complete Short Stories" book you will be well-stocked with Hemingway magic.
