- Annotation
- Explores Hemingway s self-image as a prizefighter battling Ivan Turgenev, Guy de Maupassant, and Stendhal. Argues that Hemingway s attempt to challenge these specific authors reflects the development of his literary values and goals. Briefly discusses Maupassant s influence on A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, and The Snows of Kilimanjaro, followed by a discussion of Hemingway s goal to defeat Stendhal through his writing of For Whom the Bell Tolls and Across the River and into the Trees.
