Ernest Hemingway: Artifacts From a Life Hardcover – October 23, 2018
Purchase options and add-ons
For many people, Ernest Hemingway remains more a compilation of myths than a person: soldier, sportsman, lover, expat, and of course, writer. But the actual life underneath these various legends remains elusive; what did he look like as a laughing child or young soldier? What did he say in his most personal letters? How did the train tickets he held on his way from France to Spain or across the American Midwest transform him, and what kind of notes, for future stories or otherwise, did he take on these journeys?
Ernest Hemingway: Artifacts from a Life answers these questions, and many others. Edited and with an introduction by the manager of the Hemingway estate, featuring a foreword by Hemingway’s son Patrick and an afterword by his grandson Seán, this rich and illuminating book tells the story of a major American icon through the objects he touched, the moments he saw, the thoughts he had every day. Featuring over four hundred dazzling images from every stage and facet of Hemingway’s life, many of them never previously published, this volume is a portrait unlike any other. From photos of Hemingway running with the bulls in Spain to candid letters he wrote to his wives and his publishers, it is a one-of-a-kind, stunning tribute to one of the most titanic figures in literature.

Due to the amount of biographies and personal information available, one would assume that Ernest Hemingway's lifetime is less of a mystery to us than someone who is not such a well known public figure. I think that's part of the beauty of this book. It is not a wealth of information about Ernest Hemingway - there are certainly more comprehensive biographies and in-depth information available. The magic comes from seeing so many photos of Hemingway and his family through all stages of his life. The candid look at personal letters he wrote, the clear recreation of news clippings and scrapbook pages, and so many tiny parts of his life that remain to tell his story and give us a glimpse of what was once important to him. It is a very human way of looking at a well-known, larger-than-life personality. Most of the handwritten items were also transcribed, but I enjoyed reading the original handwriting nonetheless, just in case there may be some extra meaning or emphasis that could be lost in the transcription.
Having seen both the hardcover version of this book, and a digital copy, I wholeheartedly recommend the hardcover version. To have it in your hands and turn the pages feels only one step removed from having the actual artifacts in your hands. The digital copy has its own benefits as well, but for me, the printed book is worth every penny.
The introduction and corresponding text were thoughtful and well researched. The artifacts were amazing! Letters, pictures, and drafts of his work were shared with the reader, and in my case opened the world and work of Ernest Hemingway in a whole new way. He became human and fascinating. His work was put in context with his life and world events.
By the end of the book, I found myself wanting to delve deeper than a few short stories and A Farewell to Arms. I am very much looking forward to exploring his writing with a new and more educated perspective.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review Ernest Hemingway: Artifactd From A Life.
