Cinquante Mille Dollars ET Autres Nouvelles
(Author) Ernest HemingwayLes trois nouvelles présentées dans ce livre sont extraites de Men Without Women (Hommes sans femmes), recueil dans lequel Hemingway réunit en 1927 quelques-uns de ses écrits, dont certains ont déjà été publiés dans des revues. Dans une lettre à son éditeur en date du 14 février 1927, il s'explique sur ce titre : «Quand au recueil d'histoires pour l'automne [...] je voudrais l'intituler : Hommes sans femmes. Dans toutes ces histoires, ou presque, l'influence féminine adoucissante, que ce soit par l'éducation, la discipline, la mort ou toute autre cause, est absente.»
Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist known for his distinctive writing style and portrayal of masculinity. His most notable works include "The Old Man and the Sea," "A Farewell to Arms," and "The Sun Also Rises." Hemingway's writing is characterized by its spare prose, realistic dialogue, and emphasis on themes of war, love, and loss. He is credited with revolutionizing the modern American novel and influencing generations of writers with his minimalist approach to storytelling. "The Old Man and the Sea," a novella about an aging fisherman's struggle with a marlin, remains one of Hemingway's most famous and enduring works, winning him the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and solidifying his reputation as a literary giant.
