Hemingway used to differentiate between his journalistic and literary selves. However, some of his journalistic writings can easily, even today, be compared to his best literary works. He was fully aware of this fact and often did not hesitate to include his journalistic texts in his short story collections.
This second volume of his journalistic writings covers the period from 1923 to 1939, which includes the time of perhaps his greatest brilliance as a writer and thoughtful progressive individual. The volume begins with his ironic reports on Mussolini, continues with reports on his two favorite pastimes, hunting and fishing, and concludes with the epic of the Spanish Civil War, where the American writer goes to help the legally elected democratic government against the onslaught of Francoism.
Texts that, despite the years that have passed, remain brilliant and exceptionally informative about two of the most interesting decades of the 20th century.
