This is the only major documentary biography of the man who single-handedly forged the modern novel. It shows the relationship between Hemingway's life and works and evaluates both. Containing old photographs, newsreel footage, and clips from the big Hemingway features, it takes us to the neighborhood where Hemingway was born and grew up, to his home, school, and church, to Chicago, Kansas City, Paris, Pamplona, Venice, East Africa, London, Key West, Cuba, and finally, Idaho. Anthony Burgess, the author-narrator, provides background commentary and insights. Works covered are: the Nick Adams stories, A Farewell to Arms, The Sun Also Rises, To Have and Have Not, Death in the Afternoon, Spanish Earth, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea, and Islands in the Stream.
