Men without Women

Ernest Hemmingway…, that would explain the book. You read it then you see the difference between the good writers and great writers. This collection of short stories describe raw men without any male chauvinism or rather a lot of it ( you know its hard to explain)

In these fourteen stories, Hemingway says about a era that emphasized much :the casualties of war, the often uneasy relationship between men and women, sport and sportsmanship. In "Banal Story," says story of Spanish matador. "In Another Country" he tells of an Italian major recovering from war wounds while mourning over the untimely death of his wife. "The Killers" is the hard-edged story about two Chicago gunmen and their potential victim. Then there are others like Nick Adams "Ten Indians," in which a Indian girlfriend betrayed is portrayed (no I don’t have one say!!).

Apart from the pain of taking up dictionary to look for some hard and mystique words, it was an exquisite delicacy.
