The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway are a compilation of the author's short-form fiction. The collection is considered to contain much of Hemingway's best work, and displays his concise, sometimes terse style to good advantage. The sparseness of Hemingway's prose was revolutionary at the time of his early publishing. His stories deal most frequently with disaffection, the horrors and honor of wartime, traditional conventions of masculinity, infidelity and love, and cultural traditions like bullfighting.
