"Ernest Hemingway was a man's man and a writer's writer--a lover of
big-game hunting and bullfights, a man drawn to any number of tests
of courage, and the author of some of the most moving and
influential works of twentieth-century literature. In this
straightforward biography, Catherine Reef hits all the high points
of Hemingway's eventful life and career, from his time with the Red
Cross during WWI to his salad days as the leader of the Lost
Generation in 1920s Paris to his self-exile in the Florida Keys.
Narrator Jill Shellabarger is at her best reading Reef's
well-formulated summaries and discussions of some of Hemingway's
most enduring works, including A FAREWELL TO ARMS and THE OLD MAN
AND THE SEA."
