Hemingway Illuminated Texts

This Illuminated text was created from the interchapter IV from Ernest Hemingway's greatest novel he created titled In Our Time. Many short stories are told by him of his life and in between the stories are inter chapters about his life also. In this interchapter he describes when he was at war during WWI and describes then what happens one day when the Germans cross the barricade they made.

The illuminated text will emphasize the emotions that the Indian husband was holding in, feelings that the Doctor did not understand. One of the themes of Indian Camp is that women externalize their emotions since the Indian woman was screaming due to pain while the husband internalized his emotions and just suicides when he was no longer able to bear the screams. There will also be a progress of the young Nick's view on life.

This illuminated text is based on "A Very Short Story" in Hemingway's In Our Time. Natalie Jeung and Feon Chow document the tragic love story of a young soldier and a nurse that he meets after being injured in the war. The illuminated text highlights the couple falling in love, parting ways, and finally meeting their sad and lonely fates.  [Beautifully done, the words float and move to the action - "he" sprouts legs and walks.  They make great use of fonts and the words fall in and out of focus like the story's lovers.  JRS]

This illuminated text created by Nate Brooks and Jordan Smith is based on interchapter XI from Ernest Hemingway's In Our Time. The interchapter is about a bullfight and a brief conversation with the bullfighter afterwards. This illuminated text was created to highlight the action and movement that occurs in the interchapter.

An illuminated text linking Maera, the bull fighter, with the bull using words from Ernest Hemingway's  In Our Time Interchapters XI and XIV. Maera and the bull he fights hold a surprisingly strong connection throughout these interchapters particularly as they both die in the bull ring.  Created by Carolyn Isaacson.  [Two bullfighting Interchapters are brought together to tell a powerful narrative - using only words.  A terrific Illuminated Text.
