About this book
First published in Paris in 1924 by Three Mountains Press under the title in our time - in all lower case - the first state of this work was a set of 18 vignettes and numbered 32 pages in total. Only 300 copies were printed, but due to a printing mistake, only 170 copies were released for sale. Each copy is numbered and bears the statement of limitation that reads "of 170 copies printed rives hand-made paper this is number�".
The first American publication was in 1925 by Boni & Liveright. Although this is recognized as the next edition of the same work, it bears substantial differences. Twelve short stories have been added. Sixteen of the eighteen vignettes have been used as short pieces interspersed between the short stories. Two of the original vignettes have been rewritten as the short stories "The Revolutionist" and "A Very Short Story" and the work numbers 136 pages. Hemingway regretted the lowercased title and published this version as In Our Time.
From the rear cover
"There's something immortal about these short pieces. They are absolute miracles of prose, of description, of evocation." Edna O'Brien Succinct and lucid in his prose style, American novelist and short story writer Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) had an enormous influence over authors in the twentieth century. A member of the expatriate circle called the Lost Generation, Hemingway cultivated a larger-than-life image of vigorous masculinity complemented by an intense sensitivity. Hemingway made his North American literary debut in 1925 with In Our Time, his first collection of short stories and vignettes. The stories were widely praised for what later would be considered the author's hallmark style: uncomplicated, precise language with an eye for realism. Their themes of alienation, loss, and grief continue the work Hemingway began earlier in his career. The collection includes two of his best-known Nick Adams stories: "Indian Camp" and "Big Two-Hearted River."
