A gorgeous new centennial edition of Ernest Hemingways landmark short story of returning veteran Nick Adamss solo fishing trip in Michigans rugged Upper Peninsula, illustrated with specially commissioned artwork by master engraver Chris Wormell and featuring a revelatory foreword by John N. Maclean.'The finest story of the outdoors in American literature.' Sports IllustratedA century since its publication in the collection In Our Time, Big TwoHearted River has helped shape language and literature in America and across the globe, and its magnetic pull continues to draw readers, writers, and critics. The story is the best early example of Ernest Hemingways nowfamiliar writing style: short sentences, punchy nouns and verbs, few adjectives and adverbs, and a seductive cadence. Easy to imitate, difficult to match. The subject matter of the story has inspired generations of writers to believe that fly fishing can be literature. More than any of his stories, it depends on his iceberg theory of literature, the notion that leaving essential parts of a story unsaid, the underwater portion of the iceberg, adds to its power. Taken in context with his other work, it marks Hemingways passage from boyish writer to accomplished author: nothing big came before it, novels and stories poured out after it. from the foreword by John N. Maclean
