Some are timeless some dated

Great narration but the stories don’t all hold up today. Was slightly disappointed to realise some of these stories today seem a little unreflected and boorish

Great Stories

Narrated perfectly. Stories were as only as Hemmingway could write. Very descriptive of his surroundings.

Let Nick Adams introduce you to Ernest Hemingway

In Hemingway's best short stories, a curtain is parted then closed, revealing the center of a man's being. Some of these stories are included in this collection, such as "Big Two Hearted River," "The Last Country" and "Fathers & Sons."

Stacy Keach is outstanding, and cleary understands the writer. I hadn't realized how versatile Keach was.

Amazing

Hemingway’s writing is amazingly powerful and it was really brought to life by Stacy Keach. Loved it!

Nice to return to

Read some of these in high school and college at univ of mich Ann arbor. But now in chronological order they are moving and explain a young author grappling with growing up. I remember "the battler". How greaat to return to. And Stacy keach is perfect
