About This Novel
"Hemingway's Letters (1917-1961)" will present one of the most interesting letter writers in history. As the most well-known writer among all Nobel Prize winners for literature in the past century, Hemingway's public image and legendary life have long been known through his works, but these private letters that are unfamiliar to the world have made a new Hemingway emerge. Carlos Baker, an expert on Hemingway, selected nearly 600 letters written between the age of 18 and his death in more than 40 years from the voluminous letters Hemingway left to the world. In the letters, Hemingway used "private" language outside of his works to express his feelings frankly. He honestly revealed himself to all kinds of people - family, friends, rivals, editors, and almost every famous writer of the time - and recorded every aspect of his life and writing career. It is not an exaggeration to call him the most interesting letter writer of all time. The letters selected for the work not only record the turning points of the writer's life, but also reveal his character and wisdom, as well as his special hobbies for hunting, fishing, eating, etc. The humor and wildness it reveals far exceed his works, and it can be called an unconventional autobiography of a writer. The many international and social events described in it, as well as a number of famous artists and writers, record the international situation and artistic images of an era from the side. These letters not only serve as a guide and reading pleasure for general readers, but also provide those who seriously study literature with the original documents needed to examine the life and achievements of one of the giants of American literature in the twentieth century.
