Пролетни води е забавна пародия на Чикагската школа по литература. В своето второ публикувано произведение Хемингуей чудесно пародира темите и стиловете на великата раса на писателите от неговото поколение. Пролетта идва в малките градове на Мичиган, но снегът все още покрива земята, когато Скрипс О'Нийл се отправя към Чикаго, решава да спре за малко в Петоски и среща Йоги Джонсън. Техните чудати истории са брилянтна сатира, осмиваща конвенционалната белетристика. Образите, които срещат, са абсурдни и същевременно странно познати. Кратък, забързан, забавен, Пролетни води хвърля светлина върху по-късните творби на ... |

Романът разказва историята на Робърт Джордан, млад американец от Международните бригади, прикрепен към антифашистка партизанска група в испанските планини. Това е история за вярност и смелост, за любов и поражение, за трагичната смърт на една идея. В описанието на любовта между Джордан и красивата Мария, в изключителното представяне на последната битка на Ел Сордо, в блестящата сатира на Ла Пасионария и в отказа му да приеме сляпата вяра, Хемингуей надминава себе си от Слънце изгрява и Сбогом на оръжието. Той създава произведение, което е едновременно рядко и красиво, силно и брутално, състрадателно, трогателно и мъдро. ... |
