Ernest Hemingway's collected works will be made available in e-book for the first time in a global project by Simon & Schuster.
 
Twenty-eight titles will feature in The Hemingway Collection, to be published in digital in the UK on 22nd May in a "fresh and modern" style. Designer Tom Poland was commissioned to create "bold, clean, bright images" that "stand apart from the classic designs previously seen on bookshelves and illuminate screens with the same vigour as Hemingway's work."
 

In an interview in The Paris Review in 1958 Ernest Hemingway made an admission that has inspired frustrated novelists ever since: The final words of “A Farewell to Arms,” his wartime masterpiece, were rewritten “39 times before I was satisfied.”

Those endings have become part of literary lore, but they have never been published together in their entirety, according to his longtime publisher, Scribner.
