- Guide to nearly sixty well-known short novels from the eighteenth century to today, including The Old Man and the Sea. Features a brief plot summary, familiar biography of Hemingway's life and writing, and Davis's opinion on why the novella should be read (including for its iconic style and thematic treatment of rituals and resilience). Recommends The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigía Edition, A Moveable Feast, A Farewell to Arms, and The Sun Also Rises for further reading.
