Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades, is attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of a guerilla leader's last stand, Hemingway creates a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving, and wise.

He died in Kent on June 9, 1870. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know not only hunger and privation, but also the horror of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. A turn of fortune in the shape of a legacy brought release from the nightmare of prison and \"slave\" factories and afforded Dickens the opportunity of two years' formal schooling at Wellington House Academy. He worked as an attorney's clerk and newspaper reporter until his \u003ci\u003eSketches by Boz\u003c\/i\u003e (1836) and \u003ci\u003eThe Pickwick Papers\u003c\/i\u003e (1837) brought him the amazing and instant success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. In later years, the pressure of serial writing, editorial duties, lectures, and social commitments led to his separation from Catherine Hogarth after twenty-three years of marriage. It also hastened his death at the age of fifty-eight, when he was characteristically engaged in a multitude of work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Maxwell\u003c\/b\u003e teaches in the Comparative Literature \u0026amp; English departments at Yale.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Charles Dickens \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47278991212701,"sku":"9780141439600","price":19.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_686a1fec-ef70-4ff0-aaa1-1a82dbddd962.jpg?v=1759862564"},{"product_id":"beware-the-tall-grass-9798988732105","title":"Beware the Tall Grass","description":"\u003ci\u003eBeware the Tall Grass \u003c\/i\u003eweaves the stories of the Sloans, a modern family grappling with their young son Charlie's troubling memories of a past life as a soldier in Vietnam, and Thomas Boone, a young man caught up in the drama of mid-sixties America who is sent to Vietnam.

In 1947, she published two volumes of poetry, \u003ci\u003eBárány \u003c\/i\u003e(The Lamb), and \u003ci\u003eVissza az emberig\u003c\/i\u003e (Return to Man), for which she received the Baumgartner Prize in 1949.

Both the valley and the coast would serve as settings for some of his best fiction. In 1919 he went to Stanford University, where he intermittently enrolled in literature and writing courses until he left in 1925 without taking a degree. During the next five years he supported himself as a laborer and journalist in New York City, all the time working on his first novel, \u003ci\u003eCup of Gold\u003c\/i\u003e (1929). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After marriage and a move to Pacific Grove, he published two California books, \u003ci\u003eThe Pastures of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e (1932) and \u003ci\u003eTo a God Unknown\u003c\/i\u003e (1933), and worked on short stories later collected in \u003ci\u003eThe Long Valley\u003c\/i\u003e (1938).
