Ernest Hemingway, An Illustrated Biography.
1999 · Chicago, Illinois
by Sandison, David.
Chicago, Illinois: Chicago Review Press, (1999). Royal octavo, blue boards (hardcover), photo. illustrated endpapers, 160 pp. Very Good, with neat former-owner signature and light wear to covers; in a Near-Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: No devotee of Ernest Hemingway should be without this splendid visual record of his life and times. Hemingway was not only one of the most influential writers of the century -- he was also an ambulance driver in World War ; a journalist covering the Spanish Civil War; a big-game hunter and deep-sea fisherman; a soldier with the French Reisistance during World War II; an adherent of both pre- and post-Revolutionary Cuba; a passionate lover; the husband of four extraordinary women; a romantic prone to depression; a suicide; and, of course, a bestelling novelist. In this sumptuously illustrated biography, David Sandison reveals Hemingway as a complex character who was far more than the sum of his parts, and in the process illuminates both his writings and the age he helped define.
