Description
For many people, Ernest Hemingway represents more of a mosaic of myths than a man: a soldier, athlete, hunter, expatriate, and of course, a writer. But beneath these legends, his real life still eludes us. What was he like as a laughing boy or a young soldier? What did he write in his most intimate letters? How were his journeys, holding tickets from France to Spain or across the American Midwest, transformative, and what did he note down on these trips that later became a short story or novel? Ernest Hemingway – Testimony of One Life will answer these and many other questions. The entire volume, with a foreword by Hemingway's son Patrick and an afterword by his grandson Sean, was prepared by the curator of Hemingway's estate, who also wrote the introduction. This richly illustrated book, illuminating the author's life from all possible angles, tells the story of his immensely successful writing career through the objects he touched, the moments he experienced, and the thoughts that crossed his mind every day.
