|
 | The Torrents of Spring by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £5.39 / Used from: £5.83 A parody of a book nobody reads anymore, but one that was influential at the time. Ironically, it reads a lot like the rest of his work.
|
 | Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises (Arrow Classic) by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £4.72 / Used from: £0.45 Papa writes no better than he does here. A little appreciated fact is that Lady Bret is the central character and not the narrator. She's the one who develops and changes as a character.
|
 | Men without Women (Arrow Classic) by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £4.27 / Used from: £0.01 Varsity criticism will tell you that this is where he lays the world of men most bare.
|
 | A Farewell to Arms (Vintage Classics) by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.12 The pace constantly mounts through his WWI adventures and the romance is second only to True At First Light.
|
 | Death in the Afternoon by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.29 Papa's virtuosity shines through in this enthralling read, which in reality has no plot or characters. An astonishing book.
|
 | Winner Take Nothing by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £4.59 / Used from: £1.10 These are good stories, but the cliche of Hemingway's bleakness is increasingly evident.
|
 | Green Hills of Africa (Arrow Classic) by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £3.94 / Used from: £0.01 Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
|
 | To Have and Have Not by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £0.01 This is my second favorite. Reads like an action movie. Has aged badly with 1930s slang: nigger and chink.
|
 | For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway
Buy used from: £4.40 If you're interested in the Spanish Civil war read Orwell, because this is really a novel. The poetics of Papa's later writing begins here.
|
 | Across the River and into the Trees by Ernest Hemingway
Buy used from: £1.69 The later post-hom publications were written in the 10 year interval and the style has become allegorical and poetical.
|
 | The Old Man and the Sea (Vintage Classics) by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £3.49 / Used from: £0.47 Prose poetry perfected, as developed in the previous two novels.
|
 | A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

|
 | By-Line: Selected Articles and Dispatches of Four Decades by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £16.00 / Used from: £6.54 His articles are the secret gem of his work. They are concise and point to the condensed brillance that distinguished his novels.
|
 | Islands in the Stream by Ernest Hemingway
Buy used from: £2.48 These are the first three parts to which Old Man And The Sea was planned as the fourth. Intriguing in that respect.
|
 | The Garden of Eden by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £6.50 / Used from: £2.57 This is the weakest of the post-hom publications. Vastly under finished. Reminicent of Tender As The Night.
|
 | The Dangerous Summer by Ernest Hemingway
Buy used from: £5.03 Unremarkable, but certainly not bad in any way. Not vintage Hemingway.
|
 | True at First Light: His Final Novel by Ernest Hemingway
Buy new: £5.23 / Used from: £0.01 This is moving. A wonderfully portrayed romance with Miss Mary. The best of the post-hom publications.

Listmania!
