Ernest Hemingway lived in Cuba from 1939 until 1960. During these years, he wrote some of his masterpieces, such as "The Old Man and the Sea," "A Moveable Feast," "Islands in the Stream," and was honored with the Pulitzer Prize (1953) and the Nobel Prize in Literature (1954).

The author's niece, Hillary Hemingway, and Hemingway scholar, Carlene Brennen, narrate his life in Cuba, his maritime adventures, his relationships with women, as well as with the people who marked him and who are captured in his books.

The reader will have the opportunity to be alongside Hemingway not only during the famous swordfish fishing in the blue waters of the Gulf Stream but also during the hunt for German submarines during World War II. They will learn how he was inspired to write "The Old Man and the Sea" from a real incident, will be present at the party that followed his Nobel Prize award, as well as at the first and last time the great writer met Fidel after the revolution.

Within the pages of this unique edition, which successfully combines elements of biography, documents, and historical testimonies, rare photographs from Hemingway's personal archive are featured, many of which are published for the first time.
