Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "In this magnificently reported book, Lesley Blume deftly documents the genesis of Ernest Hemingway's genius." - Gay Talese. "With impeccable research, delicious details, illuminating insight, and chiaroscuro wit, Lesley Blume has written the best book on Hemingway in Paris since A Moveable Feast." - Charles Scribner III. "This gloriously gossipy, compulsively readable account of Hemingway's early years in Paris with his first wife, Hadley, and the rest of the Lost Generation is a welcome successor to Paula McLain's novel The Paris Wife. How did Hemingway turn the wild weeks of bullfighting in Pamplona and the alcohol-addled nights in Left Bank cafes into The Sun Also Rises? That's the serious question at the heart of Blume's well-researched book." - Mark Stevens and Annalyn Swan, Pulitzer Prize-winning authors. "Blume has carved a mountain of original research into a riveting tale of Hemingway's literary, romantic, and publishing travails." - Publishers Weekly, starred review. "Everybody behaves badly.Give them the proper chance." - Jake Barnes in The Sun Also Rises, from the inner front jacket flap. "In the summer of 1925, Ernest Hemingway and a clique of raucous companions traveled to Pamplona, Spain, to the town's famous running of the bulls. Then, over the next six weeks, he channeled that trip's drunken brawls, sexual rivalry, mignight betrayals, and midday hangovers into his groundbreaking novel The Sun Also Rises. This revolutionary work redefined modern literature as much as it did his peers, who would forever after be called the Lost Generation. But the full story of Hemingway's legendary rise has remained untold until now. Lesley Blume resurrects the explosive, restless landscape of 1920s Paris and Spain and reveals how Hemingway helped create his own legend. He made himself into a death-courting, bullfighting aficionado; a hard-drinking, short-fused literary genius; and an expatriate bon vivant. Lesley Blume's vivid account reveals the inner circle of the Lost Generation as we have never seen it before, and shows how it still influences what we read and how we think about youth, sex, love, and excess." - from the inner front jacket flap.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
