This was the one book I never read from EH. I have to say it is an outstanding achievement of the human experience. What a book! Finishing it gives you a feeling of what's real, eternal and why our lives are full of contradictions.

This book is a classic for any shelf. I recommend starting out with this story if you're not familiar with Hemingway's work.
