So rather than tackle a classic, I opted for this collection of EH short stories, and what a pleasure that decision has turned out to be. Truth is, I am not a fisherman, nor a hunter, and I despise bullfighting... and EH covers these subjects repeatedly. So it has to come down to his undeniable skill as an author that has made it possible for me to read these passages and not be bored or put off. Also there is liberal (and by liberal I mean lots of) use of so-called racial slurs, which is how people seemed to roll back in that day. Frankly, I would rather see it for how it was (the way EH wrote it) than to have it omitted by some editor who found the language offensive. Long story short (pun intended), I am really very pleased with this series of short tales. Review: Great Stories, but some marred by Racism - This book collects all of Hemingway's stories, which are terrific. I prefer his earlier stories, particularly Indian Camp, Up in Michigan, Fifty Grand, and the Killers. But the more recent stories are good too, with the exception of a few mean spirited ones. Regarding Hemingway's treatment of women, there are sympathetic and strong female characters here, in the setting of a very different social milieu. I do think Hemingway has the ability to write about both genders. A number of stories center on the issue of physical and moral courage, which Hemingway tends to equate with traditional notions of masculine roles. In a few stories (The Short Happy life of Francis McCumber) the female tends to be a male trophy. But by and large, I think Hemingway's writing on physical courage does translate to the modern day, and his code hero of grace under pressure does not exclude women. More concerning is the nasty strain of racism in a few of these stories. Yes, Hemingway wants to capture what characters thought and said 100 years ago -- which inevitably included pejorative characterizations of African Americans. But sometimes the use of the N word is entirely gratuitous. In one story, Nick Adams happens upon a punch drunk fighter and his black companion. The narrator for no good reason describes the black man's "N--- legs." This particular character is probably the most sympathetic of the black characters. Almost all of the blacks are portrayed as servile and cowardly. Still, Hemingway must be read. His powerful use of simple, direct language and his "iceberg theory" really revolutionized the short story ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #11,619 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #132 in Short Stories (Books) #384 in Classic Literature & Fiction #1,222 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,385 Reviews | ## Images ![The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AJSnhMN8S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Short Stories Nice Way to Experience Hemingway *by N***E on September 17, 2025* I can't believe I am at an advanced age and have never read anything by Hemingway!

It’s nice to have all the old favorites and a few more in an accessible collection. Hemingway’s short stories are some of my favorite works of literature. I’ve always enjoyed his novels. But my favorite Hemingway works are the short stories. “A Clean And Well Lit Place” “My Old Man” The Nick Adams stories “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macombre” they sum up Hemingway for me. So I enjoyed this book over the summer, taking it with me on my vacation to Italy, France and Spain. The classics are all here, and then there are less familiar stories, some previously unpublished, some unfinished. I found it interesting that the last story in the book “The Strange Country” brings you back to the beginning of Hemingway’s career. In this story, Hemingway revisits the lost manuscripts and the devastation he felt when he found they were all missing. I keep hoping they show up at a Paris flea market. It's a thick book. Some reviewers complain of the small print, and the paper. I don’t really know how they could have done it differently. I enjoy the paper it is printed on, the tactile comfort of it. The print is small. There isn’t really any other way you are going to get all the material in a single volume. I suppose one could order the kindle version and expand the print to their desirability, or buy a magnifying glass. ## Frequently Bought Together - COMP SHORT STORIES HEMINGWAY - The Sun Also Rises - For Whom The Bell Tolls --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/1210609-the-complete-short-stories-of-ernest-hemingway-the-finca-vigia](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/1210609-the-complete-short-stories-of-ernest-hemingway-the-finca-vigia) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
