Intimate and illuminating, this is the story of American icon Ernest Hemingway's life, compiled by the steward of the Hemingway estate and featuring contributions by his son and grandson.

For many people, Ernest Hemingway remains more a compilation of myths than a person: soldier, sportsman, lover, expat, and of course, writer. But the actual life underneath these various legends remains elusive; what did he look like as a laughing child or young soldier? What did he say in his most personal letters? How did the train tickets he held on his way from France to Spain or across the American Midwest transform him, and what kind of notes, for future stories or otherwise, did he take on these journeys?

Ernest Hemingway: Artifacts from a Life answers these questions, and many others. Edited and with an introduction by the manager of the Hemingway estate, featuring a foreword by Hemingway’s son Patrick and an afterword by his grandson Seán, this rich and illuminating book tells the story of a major American icon the moments he saw and the thoughts he had every day. It is a one-of-a-kind, stunning tribute to one of the most titanic figures in literature. Art & Literature Memoirs, Diaries & Correspondence Photography Biographies & Memoirs Authors

This biography is a nicely distilled collection of Hemingway facts and insights, and all put into snippets of bigger picture historical context. Being from Oak Park personally, I was hooked from the intro, as the author describes driving down Austin Avenue with his father one cold morning. It was fantastic to have Patrick Hemingway's insights too. Well done.

Great addition to the Hemingway biographies

Listening to the author read his own writings gives more texture and reality to the story of Hemingway. Listening to Hemingway himself through his letters gives a more accurate insight to how he lived and felt daily. I believe this book will give one more motivation to go much deeper into his books and life. I strongly recommend this book.
