{"product_id":"ernesto-andrew-feldman-9781612196381","title":"Ernesto: The Untold Story of Hemingway in Revolutionary Cuba","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the first North American scholar permitted to study in residence at Hemingway's beloved Cuban home comes a radically new understanding of \"Papa's\" life in Cuba\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eErnest Hemingway first landed in Cuba in 1928. In some ways he never left. After a decade of visiting regularly, he settled near \u003ci\u003eCoj mar\u003c\/i\u003e--a tiny fishing village east of Havana--and came to think of himself as Cuban. His daily life among the common people there taught him surprising lessons, and inspired the novel that would rescue his declining career. That book, \u003ci\u003eThe Old Man and the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, won him a Pulitzer and, one year later, a Nobel Prize. In a rare gesture of humility, Hemingway announced to the press that he accepted the coveted Nobel \"as a citizen of \u003ci\u003eCoj mar\u003c\/i\u003e.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eErnesto\u003c\/i\u003e, Andrew Feldman uses his unprecedented access to newly available archives to tell the full story of Hemingway's self-professed Cuban-ness: his respect for \u003ci\u003eCoj mar\u003c\/i\u003e fishermen, his long-running affair with a Cuban lover, the warmth of his adoptive Cuban family, the strong influences on his work by Cuban writers, his connections to Cuban political figures and celebrities, his denunciation of American imperial ambitions, and his enthusiastic role in the revolution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a focus on the island's violent political upheavals and tensions that pulled Hemingway between his birthplace and his adopted country, Feldman offers a new angle on our most influential literary figure. Far from being a post-success, pre-suicide exile, Hemingway's decades in Cuba were the richest and most dramatic of his life, and a surprising instance in which the famous American bully sought redemption through his loyalty to the underdog.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Feldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612196381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612196381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Melville House Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2019 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2019 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/28\/2019","brand":"Andrew Feldman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43984608035071,"sku":"9781612196381","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ecc4533-9f6d-42e4-8a67-a77258c7dd1c.jpg?v=1683273235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ernesto-andrew-feldman-9781612196381","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
