Title
Hemingway on Being in Our Time
Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Examines the way in which In Our Time, as a cohesive work, responds to modern concerns about the value and meaning of life in political and ideological systems. Notes that like his literary predecessors, Hemingway sees retreating to nature as the way to find meaning in life but complicates that meaning by incorporating the experience of war. Compares Hemingway’s views of the value of encountering death to those of German philosopher Martin Heidegger.
