The Fifth Column and Four Stories of The Spanish Civil War
Customer Reviews:
Some of Hem's very best stuff
By Brian Douglas - December 30, 2004I wasn't sure about a Hemingway play. Sure, Papa is one of my favorite fiction writers, but could he write for the stage as well as he wrote stories?
The Fifth Column proved to be every bit as good as Hemingway's best fiction. The deep characters and fascinating, realistic sequence of events are brilliantly written. The reader can picture the drama as if it was being acted out before him.
I've recommended this book to several people; some are hesitant to read it because the story's setting (the Spanish Civil War) doesn't interest them. But in Hemingway's fiction, the setting is not as important as how people and the things that happen to them are communicated on the page. He was a truly master writer, able to make characters and situations fascinating regardless of what the reader thought of the story's setting.
One suggestion: I read the four short stories before I read the play, and I strongly recommend that sequence. Reading the stories first... read more
Fifth Column
By Rebecca Luna - December 28, 2012This is one of Hemingway's lesser known works. A wondeful gift for those interested in his writings of the Spanish Civil War.
Educational Fiction
By Kelly - June 5, 2003The Fifth Column part of the book is very entertaining. I enjoyed it more than the four stories. Give this book a chance if you have any interest in either the Spanish Civil War or Ernest Hemingway. Also try A SUN ALSO RISES. That book is good as well.
