Synopsis

Borrowing its title from an old Anglican prayer, Ernest Hemingway’s In Our Time is a series of stories and vignettes that reflect on a world searching for peace after World War I.
These stories span topics from passionate affairs between soldiers and nurses to the thrills and spectacle of bullfighting. Many of the stories in the collection are presenting as counterparts to one another, playing off of similar themes with different framing techniques.
Some of the included stories are:
• Indian Camp and The Doctor and the Doctor’s Wife – Two stories that introduce the reader to Hemingway’s semi-autobiographical character, Nick Adams, as a child. These vignettes show Nick’s father in two distinctive moments - assisting in emergency surgery at a Native American

About Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.
