Ernest Hemingway's first collection of short stories, published in 1925 by Boni & Liveright, contained fourteen short stories, including "Indian Camp" and "Big Two-Hearted River," two of his best-known Nick Adams stories. With themes of alienation, loss, grief, and separation, 'In Our Time' continued the work Hemingway began with the twelve vignettes and had published in Paris in 1924 as an addition to Ezra Pound's six prose vignettes published in the 1923 edition of 'The Little Review.'
