Hemingway is most often associated with Spain, Cuba and Florida, but Italy was equally important in his life and work. This book tells how, throughout his life, Hemingway visited Sicily, Genoa, Rapallo, Cortina in the Italian Alps, but most of all loved Venice and the Veneto.

Produktbeschreibung
Hemingway is most often associated with Spain, Cuba and Florida, but Italy was equally important in his life and work. This book tells how, throughout his life, Hemingway visited Sicily, Genoa, Rapallo, Cortina in the Italian Alps, but most of all loved Venice and the Veneto. He first visited during the First World War (the background to A Farewell to Arms) and later after the Second World War (Across the River and Into the Trees). When Men Without Women was published some reviewers said he was fundamentally a reporter preoccupied with bull fighters, bruisers, touts, gunmen, soldiers, prostitutes, hard drinkers and dope fiends, but he also wrote sensitively and passionately about love and loss against an Italian backdrop. He returned to the country again and again, the landscape and people he met inspiring some of his most famous work. The fifteenth century Ca' Erizzo at Bassano del Grappa, where the American Red Cross ambulances were based, is now a museum devoted to Hemingway and the First World War. In Hemingway in Italy Richard Owen shows how Italy belongs alongside Spain as a key influence on Hemingway's writing, and why the Italians themselves took Hemingway and his writing to heart.
