About this ebook

In 20th century American literature, few individuals stand as tall as Ernest Hemingway. He singlehandedly defined Modernist fiction with his short, simple, declarative writing style. 

His years in Paris during the 1920s were his “apprenticeship,” when he made the transition from newspaper writer to bona fide fiction writer and from an unknown to a celebrity. He also rubbed elbows with some of the most important intellectuals, artists and writers of his generation. While his first marriage did not survive Paris, some of his best and most representative fiction emerged from the experience.

This is the story of some of Hemingway’s most important years. 

Ratings and reviews

A lack luster attempt at capturing the tumultuous and adventurous life of Hemminway during his time in Paris. There were so many grammatical and factual errors that it was distracting. This was my third book on this topic. It did not rise to the level of other publications.
