This is the ” New York Times” bestseller. ` She`d been intimately his, & he hers, for twenty-seven years
- which were his final
...

Michael Palin`s hilarious novel, a ” New York Times” Notable Book, is a tale of a man learning to stand up for what he believes in--just like Ernest Hemingway Martin Sproale is a mild, conventional assistant postmaster living in a small English coastal town, the only exceptional thing about him being his obsession with Ernest Hemingway. This is confined harmlessly enough to an encyclopaedic knowledge of everything about the man & to living in a room surrounded by Hemingway memorabilia. But when an ambitious young outsider, Nick Marshall, is appointed postmaster over Martin & starts to transform the friendly local post office for privatization & the high-tech challenges of the 21st century, Martin is faced with a choice--to go along with the drastic changes, or to be like his hero & fight for what he believes in. Egged on by an American scholar, Ruth Kohler, who is living nearby while completing a book in Hemingway, Martin allows his obsession to take over more & more of his life, culminating in a final, reckless act of revenge against the ruthless modernizers. ...

Walk through the Streets of Paris with Ernest Hemingway. In gorgeous black & white images, Hemingway`s Paris depicts a story of remarkable passion--for a city, a woman, & a time. No other city in any of his travels was as significant, professionally or emotionally, as was Paris. & it remains there, all of the complexity, beauty, & intrigue that Hemingway described in the pages of so much of his work. It is all still there for the reader & traveler to experience--the history, the streets, & the city. Restaurants, hotels, homes, sites & favorite bars are all detailed here. The ninety-five black & white photographs in Hemingway`s Paris are of the highest caliber. The accompanying text reveals Wheeler`s deep understanding of the man; his torment, talent, obstacles & the places of refuge needed to nurture one of the preeminent writers of the twentieth century. Moved by the humanistic writing of the man--a writer capable of transcending his readers to foreign settings & into the hearts & minds of his protagonists--Wheeler was inspired to travel throughout France, Italy, Spain, Africa, & Cuba, where he has sought to gain insight into the motivation behind Hemingway`s books & short stories. As a teacher, lecturer, & photojournalist, he set out to capture & interpret the Paris that Ernest Hemingway experienced in the first part of the century. Through his journal & photographs, Wheeler portrays the intimate connection Hemingway had with the woman he never stopped loving, Hadley, & with the city he loved most, Paris. ...
