The story of Francis Macomber is short, but amazingly powerful. To call it 'a magnificent study of cowardice' would be a full-scale Britisch understatement. This book also contains sixteen other top-flight Hemingway short stories, the last of them 'Fathers and Sons', containing a description of physical love so lyrical and moving as to rival anything in D. H. Lawrence.
