A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Hemingway's triumphs as a writer during the 1940s and 1950s accompanied a life of risk and danger. Michael Reynolds discovered the truth about Hemingway's activities during the war years, which included running a counterintelligence operation in Havana. The postwar period was the most productive of Hemingway's writing life, when he authored the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Old Man and the Sea and received the Nobel Prize. Even as Hemingway graced the cover of Life magazine, his physical and mental health deteriorated while his public image as hunter and sportsman continued to demand the strenuous life. In 1961 he committed suicide, leaving behind the stuff of which American myths are made.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Michael Reynolds was associate dean and professor at North Carolina State University. He is the author of The Young Hemingway (a National Book Award Finalist), Hemingway: The Paris Years (named a Best Book of 1989 by Library Journal), Hemingway: The Homecoming, and Hemingway: The 1930s, among other works. He now lives and writes in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
