Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was and remains one of the most popular American writers in Russia. In the 1960s, a photograph of the bearded "Papa Hemo" adorned the walls of many Soviet apartments; free-thinking youth imitated his heroes - manly, decisive, and taciturn. Even then, the personality of Hemingway was surrounded by an aura of mystery both here and in the West. What made him tirelessly wander the world, change countries, homes, and wives, hunt, fight, make friends and immediately turn them into enemies? Was he a great master of words, or was his worldwide fame a result of self-promotion and a public lifestyle? What compelled him, like many of his relatives, to commit suicide - hereditary illness, life failures, or a creative crisis that led to a breakdown of personality? All these questions are answered by the writer Maxim Chertanov in the most comprehensive biography of Hemingway to date. This unexpected, at times shocking book will reveal to the writer's fans many unknown details about the life of their idol.
