Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Merriam Press Modern History Series First Edition 2013 This work focuses on the period which has, due to its historic and epic dimensions, marked profoundly and quite possibly forever the valley of the Soca River, or Isonzo, as it is usually known in historic literature, speaking about the First World War and the Twelve Isonzo Battles. In this regard the area of the Kanal community has a special privilege to feature in history and literature not as only a site of fighting but also to be remembered in the words of one of the most famous writers of the 20th century, Ernest Hemingway. The problem, however, is that in his novel A Farewell to Arms Hemingway omitted most of the place names. A Farewell to Arms is not considered Hemingway's most important work. According to most critics this status belongs to his first novel The Sun Also Rises. For those interested in Hemingway's biography A Farewell to Arms is important mainly as a novel that established him as one of world's leading novelists and enabled him to become a professional writer. From the Slovenian point of view it is important since it was in this novel that for the very first time an important literary work chose what is now Slovenian soil as the setting for its story. It is a sad truth though, that the writer himself was never aware of that. Neither are the majority of his readers. For him and for them the described territory remains simply Italy. The writer can be forgiven. In his hospital bed in Milan he must have inevitably become a victim of Italian irredentism which painted the contested areas as Italian. "This is a sacred land" speaks the Italian soldier Gino at Banjsice. In fact it is quite a surprise that Hemingway nevertheless detected the diversity of the population ethnicities. He mentions two girls that join Henry's crew during their retreat from Gorica. They speak with a strange accent that neither Henry nor the other soldiers can understand. But he never pays any attention to their particular language, so we shall never know if they were meant to speak Slovene or Friulian. The authors were tantalized by the question whether Hemingway had ever actually set foot on Slovenian soil. They decided to follow the trails of Hemingway's semi-autobiographic hero Lt. Henry. They tried to recognize the places passed by the imaginary hero's ambulance and they present their results to the readers of Hemingway's work.
