  Hemingway's Short Stories
Hemingway's stories run counter to the traditional nineteenth and early twentieth century stories described as "well-made." They are usually elliptical in form, rarely tying up details in a neat bundle in order to bring the stories to a conclusion.
The stories, if read carefully, will reveal these assumptions, but to bring them to a work in advance often provides the key that unlocks what may at first appear to be the mystery of a Hemingway story, revealing the fourth and fifth dimensions that he usually achieves.
To follow the Hemingway hero throughout the short stories from his earliest example, Nick Adams, to his later portrayals, such as that of Francis Macomber, is to see the step-by-step development of Hemingway's code for living in the modern wasteland, as well as the refinement of his aesthetic theories.

Hemingway is best known for his novels, like "A farewell to Arms", "For Whom The Bell Tolls", and "The Old Man and the Sea", but he also wrote a handful of true masterpieces in the short story form, most notably "The Snows of Kilimamjaro."

Hemingway appears to reflect himself in "The Strange Country," in which an acclaimed cosmopolitan writer takes a cross-country road trip with a much younger girl in a series of vignettes that contrasts the comfort of American domesticity with the imminent dangers of pre-World War II Europe.

 GradeSaver: Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway Essay: Contrasting American and European Responses to WWI in In ...
In the short story "In Another Country" Ernest Hemingway explores the differences between American and Italian soldiers' conceptualizations of the physical and emotional tolls of World War I. In particular, the story shows that the long-term consequences of war are more significant and far-reaching for Italian soldiers, because they are fighting close to home.
This is shown in the story by Hemingway's subtle portrayal of the damaging effects that the war has on the cultural and domestic lives of the Italians.
By contrasting the unnerving effects that the prospect of such damage has on the Italians with the American soldier's lack of connection to the country, the story shows that the archetypal European soldier of the First World War has more at stake in the war than his American counterparts from overseas.
