Description & Specifications

An innovative and intensely revealing examination of the life of the most iconic writer of the 20th century. Ernest Hemingway was an involuntary chameleon, who effortlessly transformed from a self-cultivated image of a hero, an aesthetic radical, and existential non-conformist into a figure dictated by moments of egoism, hypocrisy, self-doubt, narcissism, and arbitrary vindictiveness. Richard Bradford shows that Hemingway’s work is by nature peculiar and unique because it is linked to these unpredictable and strange characteristics of his personality. Impression and subjectivity always play a role in the creation of literary works. Some writers try to suppress them, while others consider them as the essential ingredients of creativity, yet they remain an omnipresent element of literature. It is the author’s personal signature, the imprint of his creative identity. In this new biography, which includes previously unpublished letters from Hemingway’s archives, Richard Bradford reveals how Hemingway almost erased his own existence through a life of fantasy and misunderstanding, providing the reader with an entirely new understanding of Hemingway’s work.
