"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.
When there is a will to experience each moment of life more fully with vibrancy and vitality, there is a way. It's Running with Nature. It's about reconnecting to nature one broad-minded step at a time to discover a more fulfilling life of simplicity, adventure, stillness, and laughter. In Running with Nature, Mariel Hemingway and Bobby Williams share their dynamic and authentic approach to living mindfully and healthfully, offering concrete action steps that readers can take and even track through a multifaceted point-earning system. Simple activities like watching a sunrise instead of sleeping in, drinking water out of glass instead of plastic, taking time to be in silence instead of always listening to things out there, eating clean food instead of processed and packaged food, and taking time away from technology to get outside are some of the natural ways to tune into ourselves and make far-reaching differences in our lives, our relationships, and our world. As Mariel and Bobby explain, change can be approached radically or gently or anywhere in between. Readers can choose to take all ten suggested action steps in each area of their life or just a few. Through thought-provoking discussions and suggestions for lifestyle modifications, the authors gently urge and coach readers to take action, at their preferred pace, that will bring about lasting change--inside and out. The Willing Way is a book of inspiration. It provides the way to make a difference in the reader's approach to life. Having the willingness to do so is the only requirement.
Stardom, thanks to Woody Allen and his film "Manhattan," came at an early age...but so did the problems of a broken and dysfunctional family. Yet in a life so out of kilter, Mariel Hemingway summoned the strength and inner resolve that enabled her to find -- and to keep -- her balance. In "Finding My Balance," actress Mariel Hemingway uses the lessons and practices of yoga as a starting point for her own personal reflections and larger-than-life family story. The result is a searingly honest memoir that is as deeply moving as it is helpfully prescriptive. Mariel turned to yoga and its meditative practice in an effort to maintain her center when her life threatened to spin out of control. Having experienced family tragedy, sudden stardom, and the continuing challenges of a full and demanding life, Mariel learned through practice how to find her balance in emotionally disorienting situations. Throughout the book, Mariel uses her yoga training as a starting point for each chapter, carefully describing a particular position, then letting her mind wander into thoughts of the past and of her tumultuous life. As each chapter begins with instruction, so does the book end with exercises organized in a sequence that can be followed by anyone who wants to practice them. As a special bonus for this edition, Mariel has added a section that describes the basics of her own "In Balance Philosophy," calming words of advice for people in search of their own emotional center.
