NEVER BEFORE ON AUDIO! ALL-NEW PRODUCTIONS OF TWENTY-FOUR CLASSIC ERNEST HEMINGWAY STORIES.

This brand-new audio collection from the iconic Pulitzer and Nobel Prize–winning author is a listener’s delight. The two dozen short stories presented here have never been published on audio; these new recordings of classic stories will remind listeners of Ernest Hemingway’s incomparable mastery of the short story form.

Also featured here are almost twenty stories from The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: “One Trip Across,” “The Tradesman’s Return,” “The Denunciation,” “The Butterfly and the Tank,” “Night Before Battle,” “Under the Ridge,” “Nobody Ever Dies,” “The Good Lion,” “The Faithful Bull,” “Get a Seeing-Eyed Dog,” “A Man of the World,” “An African Story,” “A Train Trip,” “The Porter,” “Black Ass at the Cross Roads,” “Landscape with Figures,” “I Guess Everything Reminds You of Something,” “Great News from the Mainland,” and “The Strange Country.” Rounding out this audio collection are two classics from the Hemingway Library edition of The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: “Untitled Milan Story” and “Judgment of Manitou.”

An invaluable anthology of beloved favorites and undiscovered treasures, read by acclaimed actor and audiobook narrator John Bedford Lloyd, Selected Hemingway Stories is a must-listen for every Hemingway fan.

About The Author

Earl Theisen, 1953
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.

Raves and Reviews

"Hemingway was one of the great short fiction writers of the last century, and even his least-known stories reward the listener. . . . John Bedford Lloyd captures the slightly flat tone of Hemingway's style, leaving the plain language and bare narrative to draw us in. Many of the stories draw on the author's experiences and, with Lloyd's able help, allow listeners to dig deeper into his character."
