The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories

The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories is an anthology of writings by Ernest Hemingway originally published in 1938. It contains Hemingway's only full-length play, The Fifth Column, along with all the short stories Hemingway had published to that point.

The Fifth Column is set during the Spanish Civil War. Its main character, Philip Rawlings, is an American-born secret agent for the Second Spanish Republic. The play was poorly received upon publication and has been overshadowed by many of the short stories in the anthology.^[1]
