Both oversights would be a mistake. * Languages and Literature *\u003cbr\u003e...this ambitious and comprehensive volume helps explain one of the key enigmas of modern literature-Hemingway's unique style....Mandel's annotations will help us comprehend the depth of Hemingway's knowledge of art and politics, of life and style, of history and tauromachy. Even diehard aficionados will learn more than they might care to admit they didn't already know, thanks to Mandel's indefatigable research...Ambitious; relentlessly thorough; scholarly in the best and broadest sense; punctilious; extremely useful, no matter how many taurine merit badges you have; politically fearless and astute...; historically and geographically savvy; linguistically sophisticated-the work is virtually faultless....There is so much positive and positively useful material here that one must cheer for a job well done. * North Dakota Quarterly, Fall 2003 *\u003cbr\u003eHemingway is a minimalist, full of allusions. Mandel traces them all, and her data expands the book and makes it ring with life, like the bullfight itself...No academic or public library should be without this guidebook, which is highly recommended for readers of all levels. * CHOICE *","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49527812751703,"sku":"9780810839960","price":187.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780810839960.jpg?v=1731869338","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hemingways-death-in-the-afternoon-the-complete-annotations-9780810839960","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
