In Our Time

Written by Ernest Hemingway

Narrated by Jeff Harding

In Our Time is an exploration of alienation, loss, and war that launched Ernest Hemingway into the American public consciousness and began his career as one of American’s foremost writers.

Originally composed of six vignettes commissioned by Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway’s In Our Time was later expanded by Hemingway with the addition of fourteen more short stories. These brief glimpses into the author’s life and mind portray the evolution of an artist—a writer testing the form’s limits, stretching his imagination, and experimenting with the “fibrous and athletic” language that would propel his novels and make its mark on literary history.
 
These are scenes of war, bullfights, brutality, and death, yet there are also moments of humor and beauty. In Our Time captures a moment in a master’s career, in which we are given a hint of what is to come.

This audiobook contains all 16 vignettes and 14 short stories from the 1925 publication, including the famous Nick Adams stories Indian Camp, The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife, The Three Day Blow, and The Battler.

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961. 

Reviews for In Our Time

[Andrew Fielder · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Very poorly read. Repetitive intonation becomes very irritating. It needs a more imaginative approach, otherwise Hemingway's distinctive style becomes too intrusive.

Who thought that this guy is a decent reader? His Italian accent is horrible It’s like nails on a chalkboard.
