More DescriptionLinda Wagner-Martin brings a wealth of new information to this detailed portrait of Hemingway's life and work. Emphasising his immense love of animals, the sea and the natural world, the swiftly-told personal narrative gives a crucial insight into Hemingway's character, revealing him as a conflicted idealist caught between his need to write and his need to love.
