"A loving homage to one of America's greatest writers."
July 2, 2011, marks the 50th anniversary of the tragic death of
Ernest Hemingway. The year will also see the release of two
documentaries about the famed writer.
In this first-ever tribute to her grandfather, Mariel opens the
family album to reveal all aspects of the man. More than 350
carefully selected photographs show a childhood filled with
harbingers of the future -- the five-year-old fishing, the
16-year-old writing, the wounded soldier, the young groom -- and an
adult life of success and failure -- journalist, serial husband,
prize-winning author, big-game hunter, "Papa" Hemingway,
foul-mouthed drinker, self-idealized hero.
A compelling 40,000-word narrative gives chronological details
and adds fascinating context to the photos. What influenced
Hemingway's writing? Who were the important figures in his life?
Why was he compelled to write? Was he as confident as he presented
himself to be?
"Hemingway: A Life in Pictures" surveys the touchstones of a
celebrated life to reveal the character, dreams and disappointments
of one of America's greatest writers.
