Ernest Hemingway's First Published Collection of Short Stories

In Our Time is Ernest Hemingway's first major work, a powerful collection of short stories that introduced his revolutionary minimalist style and thematic focus on war, loss, and disillusionment. Originally published in 1925, the book features a series of interconnected vignettes and stories—many involving the semi-autobiographical character Nick Adams—that reflect the emotional scars of World War I and the fragmented psyche of the modern age. With its stark prose and unflinching realism, In Our Time laid the foundation for Hemingway’s literary legacy and remains a landmark in American modernist literature.

In Our Time (1925) includes multiple vignettes along with the following short stories:

  • Indian Camp
  • The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife
  • The End of Something
  • The Three Day Blow
  • The Battler
  • A Very Short Story
  • Soldier's Home
  • The Revolutionist
  • Mr. and Mrs. Elliot
  • Cat In the Rain
  • Out of Season
  • Cross Country Snow
  • My Old Man
  • Big Two-Hearted River - Part I
  • Big Two-Hearted River - Part II
