Ernest Hemingway’s literary ambitions took root in France in the 1920s among some of the most extravagantly creative artists of the twentieth century. Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound and others were drawn to the left bank of the Seine in Paris after World War I. Hemingway joined them and, with the publication of his book “The Sun Also Rises”, which epitomized Paris during the jazz era, became one of the most powerful forces in their vortex of talent and experimentation. Winston Conrad’s compelling text and contemporary color photographs in “Hemingway’s France” are complemented by vintage black-and-white photos and illustrations that beautifully illuminate Hemingway’s life during the “lost generation” years, during World War II and during his visits to France in the 1950s. “Hemingway’s France” also follows Hemingway to the sun-drenched south of France, where he developed material for novels and for his memoir, “A Moveable Feast”. With a nod to works by biographers such as Carlos Baker, A.E. Hotchner, and Michael Reynolds, “Hemingway’s France” captures the charged atmosphere and aesthetic of the time. Valerie Hemingway, one Hemingway’s secretary in the south of France, Budd Shulberg, the writer, and bullfighting great Conchita Cintron offer new comments about Hemingway. Vintage photographs of Picasso, Fitzgerald, Hemingway and others – including those shot by American expatriates Gerald and Sara Murphy – create a sense of intimacy with the era. Some of these images are well known, some are rare, and some have never been published before. The book’s narrative, photographs and illustrations, and its use of quotations by Hemingway and his contemporaries, take the reader on a remarkably vivid tour of the writer’s France. The spirit of Paris and the Cote d’Azur from the 1920s through the 1950s returns to life in this book.
