In Our Time

by Ernest Hemingway

Overview

In Our Time is Ernest Hemingway's first collection of short stories, published in 1925 by Boni &
Liveright, New York. Its title is derived from the English Book of Common Prayer, "Give peace in
our time, O Lord". The collection's publication history was complex. It began with six prose
vignettes commissioned by Ezra Pound for a 1923 edition of The Little Review; Hemingway added
twelve more and in 1924 compiled them in our time edition (with a lower-case title), which was
printed in Paris.

About the Author

The preeminent American novelist and short story writer of his time, Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) wrote provocative fiction steeped in the experiences of the "lost generation" that came of age during World War I. Hemingway's four best-known books — The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Old Man and the Sea — highlight the author's trademark economy of style while depicting lives shaped by futility, frustration, and disappointment. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
