In Our Time (Paris Edition)

— 1924 —

A Fragmented Glimpse of War and Modern Disillusionment.

The Paris edition of In Our Time features 18 brief, untitled prose pieces that focus on scenes of violence, war, and existential crisis. These compressed snapshots, many drawn from World War I, use stark, unadorned language to reflect a world unraveling. The collection was critically praised in literary circles for its innovation and influence on the modernist movement. Though lacking traditional short stories, it laid the groundwork for Hemingway’s narrative approach.
