Ernest Hemingway’s landmark 1925 short story of a veteran’s solo fishing trip in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, now published for the first time ever as a stand-alone work, illustrated with specially commissioned original artwork by master engraver Chris Wormell and featuring a foreword by John N. Maclean. A century since its publication in the collection In Our Time, “Big Two-Hearted River” has helped shape language and literature in America and across the globe, and its magnetic pull continues to draw readers, writers, and critics. It’s the best early example of Ernest Hemingway’s now-familiar writing style: short sentences, punchy nouns and verbs, few adjectives and adverbs, and a seductive cadence. Easy to imitate, difficult to match.
