Ernest Hemingway

"Tracing the life of one of the most romantic literary figures of the 20th Century, this illustrated biography reveals Hemingway as a complex character who led an almost charmed life. From his early days in America, his larger-than-life story ranges from driving an ambulance in World War I to covering the action as a journalist in the Spanish Civil War, his passion for fishing and hunting and love for pre- and post-Revolutionary Cuba, a tour of duty with the French Reisstance in World War II, his many romances and eventual depression and suicide. This is all told against the backdrop of Ernest Hemingway as author of some of the best-loved novels of modern times."--Book jacket.
