"Read this book and savor Hemingway's city." James Meredith,
president, Ernest Hemingway Foundation and Society For the first
time in trade paperback, experience Hemingway's Paris in all its
beauty and grandeur. In gorgeous black-and-white images,
Hemingway's Paris depicts a story of remarkable passion for a city,
a woman, and a time. No other city in any of his travels was as
significant, professionally or emotionally, as Paris. And it
remains there, all of the complexity, beauty, and intrigue that
Hemingway describes in the pages of so much of his work. It is all
still there for the reader and traveler to experience the history,
the streets, and the city. Restaurants, hotels, homes, sites, and
favorite bars are all detailed here. The ninety-five
black-and-white photographs in Hemingway's Paris are of the highest
caliber. The accompanying text reveals Wheeler's deep understanding
of Hemingway: his torment, his talent, the obstacles he faced, and
the places of refuge needed to nurture one of the preeminent
writers of the twentieth century. Moved by the humanistic writing
of Hemingway, Wheeler was inspired to travel throughout France,
Italy, Spain, Africa, and Cuba, where he has sought to gain insight
into the motivation behind Hemingway's books and short stories. As
a teacher, lecturer, and photojournalist, he set out to capture and
interpret the Paris that Ernest Hemingway experienced in the first
part of the twentieth century. Through his journal and photographs,
Wheeler portrays the intimate connection Hemingway had with the
woman he never stopped loving, Hadley, and with the city he loved
most, Paris.
