According to Hemingway all good prose has the dignity and draught of an iceberg. This is especially true of Hemingway's short stories. "Francis Macomber" counts among the best composed short stories in English. Interpretation sways between Hemingway's idealisation of the male code and its deconstruction. Is the White Hunter a British scourge of American values or is Margot the tragic victim of a newly founded male friendship? Is the open ending rather a hunting accident or the mean murder of an unloved spouse? Hemingway gives hitherto uninterpreted clues by mentioning strategies of big game hunting and ballistics. Carter's magic story "Master"; deals with the regression of a White Hunter who has become 'his own negative'. An Englishman dissolves into the Amazonian jungle and is killed by his own victim. The story can be read as a macabre crime of sexuality and murder or as a dystopian warning of the future of mankind if we go on exploiting and destroying our planet.

Pertenecientes al grupo de la generación perdida. Hemingway, contrariamente a los otros escritores de su generación, poseía una muy escasa preparación académica, estaba dedicado al periodismo. Pero, su estilo desnudo y difícil, a pesar de su aparente sencillez, comenzó a llamar la atención hacia sus extrañas creaciones. Vivió en España al ser un amante de los toros y sentirse atraído por la causa repubicana.Steinbeck, cuatro años más joven que Ernest, pero novelista más saludable, con calidades más finas y saludables que sus compañeros. En Jhon, se unen la agudeza y la sensibilidad, el amor y la gracia amable, grotesca, a veces, pero sin mala intención y una ternura por el hombre pobre, por el torpe, que engrandecen sus novelas.

This article traces the paradoxical impact of Weber's oeuvre on two major scholars of nationalism, Ernest Gellner and Edward Shils. Both these scholars died in 1995, leaving behind a rich corpus of writings on the nation and nationalism, much of which was inspired by Max Weber. The paradox is that although neither scholar accepted Weber's sceptical attitude to the concept of ‘nation’, they both used his other major concepts, such as ‘rationality’, ‘disenchantment’, ‘unintended consequences’, the ‘ethic of responsibility’ and ‘charisma’, in their very analyses of the nation and nationalism. And they both saw, each in his own way, the nation and nationalism as constitutive elements of modern societies. However, the paradox ceases being a paradox if one sees the integration, by Shils and Gellner, of concepts of the nation and of nationalism in the analysis of modernity, as a development of Weber's ideas.
