Hemingway in Italy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781909961708)

Ernest Hemingway is most often associated with Spain and Cuba, but Italy was equally important in his life and work. Hemingway in Italy, the first full-length book exploring Hemmingway's penchant for Italy, offers a lively account of the many visits Hemingway made throughout his life to Italian locales, including Sicily, Genoa, Rapallo, Cortina, and Venice.

In evocative prose, complemented by a rich selection of historical images, Richard Owen takes us on a tour through Hemingway's Italy. He describes how Hemingway first visited the country of the Latins during World War I, an experience that set the scene for A Farewell to Arms. Then after World War II, it was in Italy that he found inspiration for Across the River and into the Trees. Again and again, the Italian landscape--from the Venetian lagoon to the Dolomites and beyond--deeply affected one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. Hemingway in Italy demonstrates that Italy stands alongside Spain as a key influence on Hemingway's work--and why the Italians themselves hold Hemingway and his writing close to their hearts.
