In Our Time

In Our Day was warmly commended when it was originally published in 1925 for its simple and precise use of language to portray a wide variety of complicated emotions, and it helped Hemingway establish himself as one of the most promising American writers of the time. In Our Time comprises a number of early Hemingway classics, including the wellknown Nick Adams stories "Indian Camp" and "The Three Day Blow," and introduces readers to the Hemingway style's hallmarks: lean, gritty writing enlivened by an ear for the colloquial and an eye for the realistic. His writing conveys a feeling of moral importance and clarity of vision through the most basic of statements.In Our Time is now regarded as one of the most important collections of short stories in twentiethcentury literature.
