Description

Ernest Hemingway is recognized and respected as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. His creation of the “iceberg theory” of writing was a key development in creating modern, American prose.

Reflecting Hemingway’s tumultuous life, his novels vacillated between tales of intense suffering (inspired by his real-life experiences in war-stricken Europe) and stories based around his love of nature and hunting.

Searching for solitude in a fractious world, Hemingway bought his boat Pilar and began cruising the Caribbean. Finally, in 1935 he arrived in Bimini, where he spent a considerable amount of time and worked on To Have and Have Not.
