Product Information

This 1936 short story is probably Hemingway’s best-known and most widely studied short story; it is also one of his longest. Originally published in Esquire magazine, the story focuses on a writer, Harry, who has travelled to Africa and is trying to change careers, from writing to painting. However, he fails to treat a wound and gangrene sets in, slowly eating away at him. However, after a few months of work, in 1918 he enlisted with the Red Cross to volunteer as an ambulance driver in the First World War. He was sent to the Italian front where he saw the horrors of the trench war. In July 1918, he was seriously wounded from mortar fire, but, despite his injuries and coming under machine-gun fire – still managed to carry two Italian comrades to safety. He was awarded the Italian Silver Medal for this act of bravery. urn:oclc:record:1357517830 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier completeshortsto0000hemi Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s268mmv2bx7 Invoice 1652 Isbn 0684186683 Lccn 87012888 Ocr tesseract 5.2.0-1-gc42a Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Latin Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.9858 Ocr_module_version 0.0.18 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA-NS-0001261 Openlibrary_edition

A Clean, Well-Lighted Place’ is like many of Ernest Hemingway’s short stories, in that the action – what little ‘action’ there is – doesn’t generate the meaning of the story. Instead, it’s through the conversation between the two waiters, and then the older waiter’s ruminations as he leaves the café, that the meaning emerges.

He tears my heart out at every turn; he bores me senseless on some trips; he enrages me to the very roots of my hair on others. If it’s your first time reading Hemingway’s works, or simply want to revisit the world he’s established so intricately, I’d recommend A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.
