About this product

Product Information

When Michael Palin was researching for his novel, Hemingway's Chair , his interest was stimulated by Hemingway's appetite for travel and Papa's evocations of the places he knew. Hemingway remains a compelling figure, and in this volume Palin attempts to put himself into Hemingway's world. He starts at the beginning, in Oak Park, Idaho, then travels to Italy where Hemingway served in the Ambulance Brigade in World War I. Then comes Paris in the Roaring Twenties, bull-running at Pamplona and Hemingway's love affair with Spain. Hemingway became disillusioned and returned to the States, where he lived on Key West in Florida, before moving to Sun Valley, Idaho, until the Civil War recalled him. He wrote the war novel For Whom the Bell Tolls in a hotel in Cuba, and continued to travel the world as he got older and more famous. Along the way, Palin discovers many people who remember him and archive material to complement the photographs.

    Whilst I haven't had the opportunity to read the book as yet, having skimmed through, the actual pages appear to be in very good condition with no obvious problems. A couple of marks on the dust cover but nothing major & hardly surprising in view of the age of the book.
