Old Man At The Bridge, and other Stories - Ernest Hemingway

Old Man At The Bridge, and other Stories - Ernest Hemingway : Serie: The Complete Short Stories Part 2 ‘Old Man at the Bridge’ is one of Ernest Hemingway’s shortest stories: short enough to be considered as perhaps more of a ‘vignette’ than a ‘story’ as such. Set during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s, ‘Old Man at the Bridge’ is about an encounter between the story’s narrator and an old man in his seventies who was the last person to leave his town behind during the war.
