Books like Ernest Hemingway: Four Novels

This beautiful leather-bound volume of 4 Hemingway novels represents the very best of his work.The first, The Sun Also Rises tells the story of a group of friends, post WWI, traveling to Spain for the running of the bulls and bull fights. Based on true adventures, he changed the names and lost the friends. It was fun reading, though. And you will learn a lot about bullfighting.The second, A Farewell to Arms, also partially based on Hemingway's real life when in his late teens he volunteered to be an ambulance driver for the Italian army in WWI before the US entered the war. He suffered severe injuries to his legs in a mortar attack and spent many months hospitalized during which time he met and fell in love with a nurse.The third, For Whom the Bell Tolls takes place during the Spanish Civil War. The protagonist, Robert Jordan is an expat who is a Spanish instructor at a college in Montana on a one year sabbatical. He sympathizes with the cause and fights in the revolution.The fourth, The Old Man and the Sea is probably Hemingway's most well known title and the one that won him the Pulitzer. It's a classic story of man triumphing against all odds.These were all wonderful stories, but I would have to say that for me the masterpiece among them has to be For Whom the Bell Tolls. I know that Hemingway was in Spain as a journalist during their civil war, but this was an amazing piece of work. The character development was very strong, but what impressed me the most was all of the internal dialogs, especial with Robert Jordan. Just outstanding.
