In Our Time: Unabridged

In Our Time is Ernest Hemingway's first collection of short stories, published in 1925 by Boni & Liveright, New York, and of a collection of vignettes published in 1924 in France. Its title is derived from the English Book of Common Prayer, 'Give peace in our time, O Lord'. The stories' themes, of alienation, loss, grief, separation, continue the work Hemingway began with the vignettes, which include descriptions of acts of war, bullfighting and current events.
