By-line (New ed)

Hemingway's literary apprenticeship was served in journalism, a career that he carried on vigorously for over four decades.

From his early work as a correspondent for the "Toronto Star" in Europe during the 1920s, through his articles for "Esquire" and his first-hand reports of the Spanish Civil War, to the mellow, ironic chronicle of his last African adventures, few correspondents have produced a more impressive body of work.

Seen in the light of his brilliance as a writer of fiction, this collection is revealing - readers can recognize the sources of "Fiesta", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "The Old Man and the Sea" and other Hemingway novels.
