As an introduction to his work, or as an overview of the themes he developed at greater length in his novels, it is a stunningly successful collection. From one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century

Сборник «Мужчины без женщин» был очень вехой в творчестве Хемингуэя. Роман «И восходит солнце» уже показал его талант писателя-романиста, но именно в этом сборнике, втором в его карьере, Хемингуэй доказал, что всего на нескольких страницах можно достоверно передать ход сцены, со всеми деталями, доступными только глазу невероятно одарённого писателя. Мужчины Хемингуэя – матадоры и бойцы, наёмные рабочие и пьянчуги, негодяи и бандиты. Каждая из их историй показывает мужскую стойкость, не смягчённую женской рукой. Проницательные, бескомпромиссные, рациональные, они для Хемингуэйя как родные. И именно они помогли ему обрести статус одного из величайших литераторов XX века, и одного из лучших американских авторов всех времён • «Мужчины без женщин», сборник рассказов культового американского писателя Эрнеста Хемингуэя, станет великолепным подарком для ценителей творчества автора
