A propos de cet article

Fine unread condition maroon boards, dark blue spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic and color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Permissions; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Foreword; Introduction; Epilogue and Sources. Also includes a as new condition vintage July 12-21, 1996 Hemingway Days Festival, Key West, Florida pamphlet. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "H. Lea Lawrence hereby invites you to join him on a fascinating pilgrimage to Ernest Hemingway's favorite fishing haunts. Spiced with new anecdotes and interviews gleaned from the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean, Prowling Papa's Waters sheds a fresh and welcome light on America's best known writer. This unique chronicle of Hemingway at his favorite pastime is sure to delight Hemingway buffs, anglers, and all armchair travelers. Beginning with Hemingway's initiation into the outdoors at his family's cabin on Lake Walloon in upper Michigan, Lawrence's odyssey recreates Hemingway's angling exploits in Europe, Key West, Cuba and the Caribbean, and the American West. Forty five photographs put readers in touch with Hemingway waters great and small, from rushing trout streams to the majestic Gulf Stream. The Hemingway of legend is in fine form here, doing battle with the giant billfish of the Caribbean, but Lawrence's narrative is by no means limited to what Hemingway caught and where. Essential to the story are the people he gathered about him (John Dos Passos, Maxwell Perkins, and the rest of "the Mob"), the work he was engaged in at the time, and, of course, the succession of women in his life. Hemingway insisted that any good story has to include three elements: the time, the place, and how the weather was. Prowling Papa's Waters offers all three - and much more." - from the inner front jacket flap.…

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
