Ernest Hemingway Knihy

Výber z posmrtného vydania Hemingwayových básní.

Hemingwayov autorský výber poviedok vyšiel roku 1938, v slovenčine prvý raz roku 1961. V textoch akoby sa premietal celý spisovateľov život – ocitneme sa uprostred Afriky pod Kilimandžárom, v michiganských lesoch, na talianskom fronte, v povojnovom Francúzsku či Španielsku. Poviedky vychádzajú v novom slovenskom preklade Vladislava Gálisa.

Kniha obsahuje romány Zbohom zbraniam (1929; preklad Alfonz Bednár), Komu zvonia do hrobu (1940, preklad Alfonz Bednár), Starec a more (1952, preklad Peter Ždán) a úvodom prejav Hemingwaya pri preberaní Nobelovej ceny.

Prvé Hemingwayovo povojnové dielo, ktoré vzniklo po dlhšej tvorivej prestávke, je jedným z autorových pokusov zhodnotiť a zosumarizovať vlastný život. Hamingway sa opäť vracia k svojej obľúbenej vojnovej tématike, tentoraz však z nového uhla, ku ktorému ho priviedli ďalšie životné skúsenosti formujúce jeho pohľad na svet a zážitky z minulosti evokované po viacerých rokoch v pamäti. V príbehu hrdinu, ťažko chorého plukovníka Cantwella, meditujúceho o sebe i o svete, nastoľuje autor otázky tiahnúce sa celým jeho dielom - otázky života a smrti, lásky a odvahy a vzťahu k prírode so silno humanistickým postojom.

V prvej časti autor opisuje život maliara Thomasa Hudsona na ostrove Bimini ležiacom v Golfskom prúde, kde jeho osamelosť naruší návšteva synov. Druhá časť sa odohráva o niekoľko rokov neskôr na Kube počas vojny, kde sa Hudson zúčastňuje na tajných akciách v boji proti nemeckým ponorkám. Záverečná časť je situovaná na palubu prieskumného člna pátrajúceho po stroskotancoch potopenej nemeckej ponorky.

Dej románu, sústredený na tri až štyri dni, sa odohráva v druhom roku občianskej vojny v Španielsku. Američan Robert Jordan, univerzitný profesor španielčiny, člen medzinárodnej brigády, je poverený dôležitou úlohou, ktorá má zaistiť úspech chystanej republikánskej ofenzíve. Pracuje v tylenepriateľa ako diverzant a plní svoju úlohu, aj keď sa presvedčil o jej nezmyselnosti. Na charakteroch niekoľkých republikánov, s ktorými sa hrdina románu stretáva pri zabezpečovaní akcie, je zobrazené celé vtedajšie revolučné Španielsko so všetkými problémami, úspechmi aj zmätkami. Autor sa sám zúčastnil ako korešpondent občianskej vojny v Španielsku na strane republikánov.

Dej románu Zbohom zbraniam (1929), prvého z hemingwayových bestsellerov, sa odohráva na talianskom fronte počas prvej svetovej vojny. Rozpráva príbeh lásky amerického poručíka, vodiča sanitky Červeného kríža Frederica Henryho a talianskej zdravotnej sestry Catherine Barkleyovej na pozadí krvavých bojov. Catherine ošetruje raneného Henryho a ich láska sa naplní, Catherine čaká dieťa. Henry sa vracia na front, ale čoraz väčšmi presvedčený o nezmyselnosti vojny rozhodne sa aj so svojou láskou ujsť. Príbeh so zjavnými autobiografickými prvkami sa končí tragicky, Catherine aj dieťa umierajú.

Príbeh kubánskeho rybára Santiaga a jeho boja o obživu s neúprosným morom sa povznáša na podobenstvo o osude človeka, ktorý sa nikdy nevzdáva. Maximálna sústredenosť na najpodstatnejšie prvky dodáva monumentalitu jednoduchému príbehu, a ktorom autor pracoval s prestávkami od tridsiatych rokov. Po dlhých týždňoch neúspešného lovu Santiago natrafí na obrovskú rybu. Nasleduje vysiľujúci zápas, v ktorom napokon víťazí človek. Ryba je však priveľká, preto sa ju rybár pokúša dovliecť k brehu pripútanú k člnu. Kým sa mu to podarí, rybu už zožral žralok, takže len obrovská kostra je svedectvom mimoriadneho úlovku.

Rajská záhrada ako mnohé iné Hemingwayove diela nesie silnú autobiografickú pečať. Hrdinom je mladý spisovateľ David Bourne a rajskou záhradu sú medové týždne, ktoré trávi so svojou mladučkou manželkou Catherine na juhofrancúzskom pobreží a v Španielsku. Milujú sa, relaxujú, popíjajú, David chytá ryby... Aký by to však bol raj bez diabla? V tomto prípade je ním Catherinino pokušenie a príchod zvodnej sokyne Marity. Toto dielo vyšlo v origináli roku 1986, teda až po spisovateľovej smrti, a v slovenskom preklade prvý raz roku 1991. Vydavateľstvo Ikar ho ponúka čitateľom v prepracovanej jazykovej úprave.

Kniha Smrť popoludní (Death in the Afternoon, 1932) sa zrodila z Hemingwayovho vášnivého zaujatia pre býčie zápasy. Tie sa snaží zasvätene a zároveň pútavo priblížiť zo všetkých stránok, do najmenších podrobností vrátane ich zákulisia a samotného boja s býkmi, vykresľovaného ako dramatický rituál, pri ktorom sa jeho aktéri na každom kroku vystavujú nebezpečenstvu smrti. Kniha prvýkrát vychádza v slovenskom preklade Mariána Gazdíka s doslovom Jána Vilikovského.

Odveká polarita života a smrti s násilím okolitého sveta i vlastnými slabosťami, veľkoleposti žitia - k týmto témam sa autor vracia neustále. Dej jeho románu je situovaný do intelektuálneho prostredia Paríža a francúzskej povojnovej bohémy. Americký novinár Jake Barnes, ako mnohí jeho rovesníci traumatizovaní vojnou, hľadá šťastie na potulkách v západnej Európe. I keď ho do istej miery nachádza v cite k lady Brett, ich vzťah nemôže byť naplnený pre jeho zranenie. Fascinujúcu atmosféru parížskych bulvárov a kaviarničiek striedajú žiarivé obrazy španielskej Pamplony a býčích zápasov, kam sa Jake s priateľmi vyberie hľadať životnú inšpiráciu. Nachádza ju nielen v živom pulze exotického kúta Európy, ale i v ľudsky čistých, opravdivých charakteroch, typických pre južné kraje, kde lásku, život a smrť spája iba krehké ohnivko.

Zelené pahorky africké sú záznamom z loveckej výpravy vo východnej Afrike, ktorú Ernest Hemingway podnikol od 8. decembra 1933 do 17. februára 1934. Popri manželke Pauline Marie Pfeifferovej ho sprevádzali Charles Thompson, priateľ z floridského Key Westu (v knihe Karl Kabor), a profesionálny lovec a sprievodca Philip Percival (v knihe Jackson Phillips). V rozprávaní sa objaví aj náhodný hosť, Rakúšan Kandisky, ktorý autorovi poskytne príležitosť nadviazať rozhovor o živote a literatúre. Do sprievodu, pochopiteľne, patril aj neodmysliteľný rad domorodcov. Cesta zaviedla autora z pláne Serengeti v Tanganike na úpätí Kilimandžára do Kene. Ak by sa niekto nazdával, že ide o viac-menej vzrušujúcu loveckú historku s levmi a tigrami, asi by sa rýchlo dočkal sklamania. Autor dospieval a vyzrieval – prekonal búrlivácke očarenia mladosti, vyrovnal sa s vojnovými zážitkami a teraz, uprostred krízy osobnej i hospodárskej, hľadal novú orientáciu pre vlastného ducha i literárnu tvorbu. Ako píše v úvodnom slove: Autor sa pokúsil napísať absolútne pravdivú knihu, aby zistil, či podoba krajiny ľudského konania v priebehu jedného mesiaca, ak sa podá pravdivo, môže súťažiť s dielom fantázie.

Krátke prózy predstavujú jeden z hlavných míľnikov Hemingwayovej tvorby. Každá z poviedok sa zaoberá drsnosťou, nezjemnenou ženskou nehou a hlavnými hrdinami sú tvrdí chlapi - matadori, boxeri, ťažkí pijani, gangstri i zabijaci.

Dej románu sa odohráva v USA a na Kube v čase hospodárskej krízy tridsiatych rokov. Na príbehu intelektuála vzdialeného skutočnému životu, a na príbehu muža, ktorý môže žiť v daných podmienkach len mimo zákon, konfrontuje autor svet tých, čo majú, a tých čo nemajú. Román vznikol spojením 2 poviedok o chudobných rybároch, ktoré predtým publikoval osobitne. Román je so silným sociálnym podtextom. Sleduje tragický príbeh rybára Harryho Morgana, ktorého okolnosti prinútili stať sa pašerákom, zločinom a vrahom.

Sto rokov po narodení Hemingwaye sa objavuje nepublikovaný "autobiografický román", napísaný medzi rokmi 1954 a 1956 po päťmesačnom safari v Keni. Čitatelia sa opäť stretnú s atmosférou majstrovských diel Hemingwaye, od Zelených kopcov Afriky po Snehy Kilimandžára. S jasným a esenciálnym štýlom autor opisuje dlhé africké západy slnka, rjúce levy a vietor, ktorý pohybuje stanmi. Rozpráva o svojej vášni pre krajinu, vzrušení z lovu a rituáloch safari, pričom prenáša svoju fascináciu Afrikou a jej kultúrou. Rozprávanie začína legendárnym lovcom Popom, priateľom Hemingwaye, ktorý je nútený opustiť tábor, pričom "Papa" musí zvládnuť situáciu v napätej atmosfére. Život pokračuje medzi lovmi a naliehaním Miss Mary, manželky Hemingwaye, ktorá túži zabiť leva. Objavuje sa aj postava mladej wakamby, krásnej a odvážnej, ktorá túži stať sa druhou manželkou "Papa". Okolo nich sa zhromažďuje zbor safari mužov, verných a sklamaných, ktorí reflektujú kultúrne rozdiely. Hemingway sa pohybuje medzi týmito dvoma realitami, rozpráva svoje skúsenosti a zamýšľa nad umením písania, ponúkajúc autoritrat, ktorý je kľúčový pre pochopenie jeho génia.

Výborné poviedky od Hemingwaya. Kniha obsahuje 11 krátkych príbehov, navyše novelu Starec a more a doslov, ktorý je akýmsi kľúčom k autorovej tvorbe.

Hemingwayov autorský výber poviedok vyšiel roku 1938, v textoch akoby sa premietal celý spisovateľov život – ocitneme sa uprostred Afriky pod Kilimandžárom, v michiganských lesoch, na talianskom fronte, v povojnovom Francúzsku či Španielsku.

Jediná divadelní hra Hemingwayova je výrazem jeho sympatie k republikánskému Španělsku. Napsal ji v r. 1937 za španělské občanské války v Madridě uprostřed výbuchů pum. Sám o ní řekl, že „jedná jenom o madridské kontrašpionáži a obsahuje-li nějaké mravní naučení, pak to, že lidé,kteří pracují pro jisté organizace, mají velmi málo času na domácký život“.

Stejnojmenná povídka dala jméno souboru textů, z nichž mnohé jsou publikovány v češtině poprvé a jež spojuje téma: Španělsko, býčí zápasy a býci. A snad ještě více ústřední myšlenka Hemingwayovy tvorby: „Člověka lze zničit, ale ne porazit.“ Sbírka vůbec poprvé klade vedle sebe Hemingwayovy texty žurnalistické a beletristické. Překvapí tím, jak blízko k sobě mají. Hemingway novinář nepřestává být vtipným a dynamickým vypravěčem, jenž naplňuje reportáže poutavými mikropříběhy, Hemingway spisovatel si uchovává tolikrát marně napodobovaný „objektivní“ styl bystrého, střízlivého a zdánlivě nezúčastněného reportéra. Čtenářská obec dostává poprvé možnost sledovat genezi a inspirační zdroje některých jeho děl o jedné z nejzáhadnějších tradic: o španělské koridě, pro mnohé kruté krvavé podívané, pro jiné úchvatné umělecké formě naplněné poetickou symbolikou; o rituálu, jenž byl Hemingwayovi – spisovateli i novináři – něčím víc, než jen atraktivní záminkou k tvorbě, metaforou boje o přežití, byť i tou bezpochyby byl. Sledovat jej očima jednoho z největších spisovatelů XX. století přináší nesrovnatelný zážitek. Knihu ilustruje na půl sta dobových, v Čechách rovněž poprvé publikovaných, fotografií zachycujících Hemingwayem popsané děje i konkrétní hrdiny.

Ukázky z děl autorů od šestnáctého století až po rozmarné vyprávění Jeroma K. Jeroma, Arthura Ransoma, George Orwella a Ernesta Hemingwaye. Všechny příběhy spojuje celoživotní vášeň pro řeky, říčky, jezera a pro jejich šupinaté obyvatele. Dokázali zachytit ranní mlhy při čekání, až ryba zabere, nadšení lovce, bezmeznou trpělivost i nesmírnou radost z úlovku. Jejich mistrovské líčení upoutá každého zaníceného rybáře, ale dopřeje zážitek z kapitálního úlovku i tomu, kdo nikdy nedržel rybářský prut v ruce.

Autorova románová prvotina (1926), vycházející také pod názvem Fiesta, bývá považována za jedno z jeho nejdůležitějších děl. Začíná jako nekonečný tah po pařížských barech, jako večírek, který začne už ráno a nikdy neskončí… Jenže nejde o výraz nevázaného života, ale spíše o náplast na děsivou minulost. Hemingwayovi „ztracení hrdinové“ tu prožívají možná horší věci než v zákopech. Jejich život je poznamenán deziluzí, smutkem a depresí. Ani všechny bary od Paříže po Madrid nemůžou utišit palčivost ztrát a neustálý neklid.

Nebezpečné léto, poslední kniha Ernesta Hemingwaye, vychází v češtině poprvé v roce padesáteho výročí autorovy smrti. Líčí souboj na život a na smrt mezi dvěma největšími matadory své generace. Hemingway, jenž ve smrtelně nebezpečném zápase ve španělských arénách viděl obraz svého zápasu literárního, v díle odkryl mnohé z vlastního dramatu umělce, jenž vyvrcholil necelý rok po dokončení knihy sebevraždou. Dílo na pomezí reportáže a románové tragedie je tak nejen sondou do romantického a exotického světa corridy, sondou předkládanou s hlubokým zájmem, jenž zarámoval Hemingwayovo celoživotní dílo, a trvalým záznamem dramatických okolností, za nichž vznikala v létě roku 1959 pomíjivá krása, ale i svědectvím o autorově posledním psychickém zápase; dramatem o tragedii umělce, jenž nestihl odejít včas.

Román čerpající z dramatu první světové války napsal autor v roku 1929 na základě vlastních zážitků z italské fronty. Osou mistrného vyprávění, odvíjejícího se na plasticky zachyceném pozadí otřesných válečných zážitků, je tragický milostný příběh amerického sanitního dobrovolníka a anglické ošetřovatelky z italské fronty a později ze Švýcarska. Hemingway zde vyslovil svou negaci války a svůj protiválečný protest.

Pátý svazek Spisů Ernesta Hemingwaye přináší dvě díla z poválečné tvorby autora. První je román Přes řeku do stínu stromů (1950), který líčí poslední citové vzplanutí padesátiletého těžce nemocného amerického plukovníka k mladé italské dívce. Druhé jsou memoárové črty Pohyblivý svátek (1964), v nichž autor evokuje uměleckou a kulturní Paříž dvacátých let a vzpomíná na svá mladá léta zde strávená.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) is celebrated as a novelist and man of action. He is perhaps most famous for WHOM THE BELL TOLLS and A FAREWELL TO ARMS.

First published in 1923, "Three Stories and Ten Poems" marked the beginning of the fictional writing career of one of the world's most famous writers, Ernest Hemingway. This short collection is marked by the story "Out of Season" in which Hemingway employed autobiographical elements and his "theory of omission" or the "iceberg theory". Also included here in this edition is Hemingway's first novella, "The Torrents of Spring". Appearing a few months before his more commercially successful novel "The Sun Also Rises", this novella was first published in 1926. The story is set in Michigan and concerns the love lives of two men who work in a factory together. Both are seeking the perfect wife and both have varying degrees of success in their endeavors. These romantic dramas are a comical premise however, and Hemingway spends the bulk of the book making fun of the popular writers of his day in hilarious and witty fashion. Written as a parody of Sherwood Anderson's "Dark Laughter", Hemingway also spoofs the works of James Joyce, John Dos Passos, and D. H. Lawrence. Together these works show the early development of one of the most notable authors of the twentieth century. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

When In Our Time was published in 1925, it was praised by Ford Madox Ford, John Dos Passos, and F. Scott Fitzgerald for its simple and precise use of language to convey a wide range of complex emotions, and it earned Hemingway a place beside Sherwood Anderson and Gertrude Stein among the most promising American writers of that period. In Our Time contains several early Hemingway classics, including the famous Nick Adams stories "Indian Camp," "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife," "The Three Day Blow," and "The Battler," and introduces readers to the hallmarks of the Hemingway style: a lean, tough prose--enlivened by an ear for the colloquial and an eye for the realistic that suggests, through the simplest of statements, a sense of moral value and a clarity of heart. Now recognized as one of the most original short story collections in twentieth-century literature, In Our Time provides a key to Hemingway's later works

Ernest Hemingway never wished to be widely known as a poet. He concentrated on writing short stories and novels, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1956. But his poetry deserves close attention, if only because it is so revealing. Through verse he expressed anger and disgust—at Dorothy Parker and Edmund Wilson, among others. He parodied the poems and sensibilities of Rudyard Kipling, Joyce Kilmer, Robert Graves, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Gertrude Stein. He recast parts of poems by the likes of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, giving them his own twist. And he invested these poems with the preoccupations of his novels: sex and desire, battle and aftermath, cats, gin, and bullfights. Nowhere is his delight in drubbing snobs and overrefined writers more apparent. In this revised edition of the Complete Poems , the editor, Nicholas Gerogiannis, offers here an afterword assessing the influence of the collection, first published in 1979, and an updated bibliography. Readers will be particularly interested in the addition of "Critical Intelligence," a poem written soon after Hemingway's divorce from his first wife in 1927. Also available as a Bison Book: Hemingway's Quarrel with Androgyny by Mark Spilka.

An early gem from the greatest American writer of the 20th century, The Torrents of Spring is a hilarious parody of the Chicago school of literature. Poking fun at that "great race" of writers, it depicts a vogue that Hemingway himself refused to follow.

H. Lawrence, James Joyce & John Dos Passos--come in for satirical comment. A highly entertaining story, The Torrents of Spring offers a rare glimpse into Hemingway's early career as a storyteller & stylist.
