This is a narration of the classic book The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway.

Borrowing its title from an old Anglican prayer, Ernest Hemingway’s In Our Time is a series of stories and vignettes that reflect on a world searching for peace after World War I. These stories span topics from passionate affairs between soldiers and nurses to the thrills and spectacle of bullfighting. Many of the stories in the collection are presenting as counterparts to one another, playing off of similar themes with different framing techniques.

Audiobook narrators Mike Vendetti and Kathy Verduin bring Hemingway's classic masterpiece "The Sun Also Rises" to life. Travel with them through pre-WWII Europe as Hemingway explores the dysfunctional relationship of friends drawn together by a beautiful, troubled, and often confused woman, plus the drama and excitement of the bullfights.

The story is about a 25-year-old Harvard student who follows a "clean" life. He marries a 40-year-old clean Southern woman and the two try very hard to have a baby. Eventually, both become disenchanted with each other, and the wife's girlfriend moves in to live with her.

"Three-Day Blow'' is a short story that became a chapter from In Our Time. Jake (Hemingway's alter ego) hikes to his friend Bill's house where they spend the morning talking and drinking. The conversation is mostly chit-chat until the liquor loosens them up enough to discuss Jakes's breakup with Marjorie.

As I listened to this, I couldn't help but compare Buggs and Ad to George and Lennie in Steinbeck's Mice and Men. Buggs protects Ad as George protected Lennie. Ad, though diminutive in size, as a former professional boxer could be as dangerous as Lennie when he had a crazy spell. Hemmingway portrays Buggs as the true leader of the group, highly intelligent, articulate, and gentle to his companion Ad while leading Ad to believe he is in charge.

Krebs, Hemingway's protagonist, leaves home a college kid and returns a very changed man. This story explores the extremely changed family dynamics within the Krebs family when Harold returns home. Roles switch from parent-child to adult/adult.

This 1923 In Our Time collection consists of 18 vignettes. Five center on World War I (Chapters 1, 4, 5, 7, 8), and six on bullfighting (Chapters 2 and 12 to 16); the others center around news stories. Chapter 10 is the longest; it details a soldier's affair with a Red Cross nurse, and is based on Hemingway's relationship with Agnes von Kurowsky. The piece about a robbery and murder in Kansas City originated in a newspaper story Hemingway covered as a cub reporter at The Kansas City Star; it is followed by the story of the public hanging of a Chicago mobster.

Om end Hemingway er mest kendt for sine romaner, anser mange hans noveller for det ypperste i hans forfatterskab. Novellerne i Kilimanjaros sne og andre noveller omfatter de noveller, der ikke tidligere har været medtaget i hans første tre novellesamlinger, og de udkom for første gang samlet i 1938 som del af antologien The Fifth Column and First Forty-Nine Stories. De er alle sammen fremragende eksempler på Hemingways helt unikke stil og betragtes i dag stadig som nogle af hans bedste værker.

Hemingway skrev En varig fest i 1960 på bakgrunn av noen notater han fant igjen fra sine ungdomsår i Paris i 1921-1926, hvor han som nygift korrespondent startet sin litterære karriere. Det blir tegnet et bilde av livet hans som ung, spirende forfatter, lykkelig med kone og barn, og han gir en rekke portretter og anekdoter om noen av kollegaene han møtte, som f. eks. Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, James Joyce og F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Selv om Hemingway er mest kjent for romanene sine, ser mange på novellene hans som det ypperste i forfatterskapet. I vår tid ble utgitt i 1925, og var Hemingways første novellesamling og også den første større utgivelsen hans. På samme måte som i de senere verkene bærer den preg av en kort og fortettet skrivestil, og fortellinger som Tredøgns-stormen gir oss de første eksemplene på isbergsteknikken hans, der temaet i teksten trer frem gjennom antydninger og indirekte beskrivelser av følelseslivet.

Även om Hemingway är som mest känd för sina romaner, anser många att hans noveller är det bästa med hans författarskap. Novellerna i Snön på Kilimandjaro och andra noveller var inte med i hans första tre novellsamlingar och de kom ut samlade för första gången 1938 som en del av antologin The Fifth Column and First Forty-Nine Stories.

Hemingway slog igenom på allvar och blev världsberömd med utgivningen av Farväl till vapnen 1929. Romanen, som beskriver krigets fasa och meningslöshet, bygger på Hemingways egna erfarenheter som ambulansförare vid den italienska fronten under 1. världskriget, där han blev svårt sårad. Kärlekshistorien mellan den frivilliga amerikanska löjtnanten Henry och den engelska sjuksköterskan Cathrine, ett förhållande som slutar tragiskt, spelar dock en central roll i romanen.
