this is one of the most powerful characters that have ever exist

Cape Hatteras: America's Lighthouse is a treasure to all of us who love what is arguably the most famous lighthouse in the world. The authors should be commended for writing not only a fascinating look into the past and future of this great beacon, but also a damn fine tale of passion, perseverance, intrigue, romance, grand schemes, utter calamities, and vast heroism.

This is an important bit of American history but it is not a dry text. This book is a real page-turner, one that will illuminate your mind as surely as the Hatteras lighthouse on a frightening, dark sea. Like the mariners which once depended on the light to skirt a dangerous coast, after you finish reading this book, you will be grateful for the experience.

This book showed a nice variety of polydactyl kitties in a polydactyl cat paradise or "purradise." It has also the stories of the cats from their "purrspective." Was thinking the Hemingway House should have actually UPDATED this book every couple of years to show some of the newer cats who went on to succeed some of the other kitties who had since passed away or died, hopefully in most cases from OLD AGE.

Originally published in 1972 and now out of print, Cut-Off is the story of a skirt-chasing 23 year old GI reporter for Yank magazine who haplessly stumbles right into the opening hours of the Battle of the Bulge and results in an extraordiary odyssey to save the lives of two orphaned Jewish children, 6-year old Lisa and her 7 year old brother Friedrich. The children, as Davidson makes clear, are the true heroes of this book.

It's just over a week before Christmas, 1944. The German army, thought to be nearly "kaput", has just opened the surprisingly brutal Ardennes offensive - smashing through lightly held American lines in the countryside of Belgium. Davidson, having just completed a romantic interlude in Brussels, smells a story and jumps in his Jeep - the "Lootwagen" - which he keps well stocked with Nylons, Liquor and Cigarettes - neccesary currency for a young reporter in search of the "action". Some of the dates and places don't quite seem to jibe with historical fact, but Davidson's self-deprecating humor overrides concerns over historic accuracy of the account.

There's a little of everything - heroic soldiers, deserters, the Belgian resistance, black marketeers, and a drunken, clueless Ernest Hemingway. This is a tale the of small acts of humanity, hilarity, and self-preservation which rise from the terror of war. We learn the true meaning of the terms TARFU, FUBAR and SNAFU. A masterfully told tale with a profound message which captures the surreal chaos of wartime and its impact on children on a very personal level. Unforgettable.

Hemingway was 20-24 yrs old when he wrote these dispatches for the Toronto newspapers. He already had journalism experience in Kansas City and war experience in Italy. He had experienced his first broken heart. The work is fresh and clean and much of it could be printed in this morning's newspaper and it would be considered good. He covered the day-to-day and also peace conferences in Europe. He later said some of this is "juvenilia" and should not be included in his life's work. The writing is very good even at this young age.

This collection of letters serves as the closest thing to a Hemingway autobiography we have. It is certainly must reading for the student or researcher, and I would highly recommend it for even the casual Hemingway fan.

Hemingway often wrote letters to either warm up for a day of writing or cool off afterward, and in these letters you see him at his unguarded, intellectual, humorous best. The style of his letter writing is often much freer than the tightly crafted prose style of his fiction...it's almost like watching a classical musician break into some improvisational jazz.

A great book to just dip into wherever you want, and this new edition is long overdue.

The Old Man and The Sea is a wonderful novel that opens our eyes to nature. The underlying theme of this book is that man and nature are equal, and should be treated as an equal. This novel is about an old fisherman who struggles with a gigantic fish; not to be sucessful, but for pride. He clearly represents a Hemingway Hero in all senses of the word, including that he is flawed. Ernest Hemingway has once again made his point through wonderful literature and I would congratulate him on this work of art should he be living

A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway depicts the adventures of Frederic Henry in WWI. An American fighting on the Italian front, he serves in the Army Corps an inspector and ambulance driver. Through his best friend Rinaldi, a doctor also for the Italians, he meets a beautiful English nurse named Catherine Barkley. After being wounded on the front line by a trench mortar shell, he is sent to a hospital to recover. There, Catherine cares for him and they fall in love. After he recovers and Miss Barkley becomes pregnant with his child, they both decide to desert their stations and escape from the war. By a small boat, they row themselves to Switzerland, and settle down in the mountains.
I absolutely love this book! It's packed with real war drama, and an awesome love plot. As the story unravels, you really get caught up in the action; it went slow in the beginning, but it soon picked up. I didn't know the Hemingway was so basic and interesting, I thought it would be a complex read with difficult language, but I finished the book satisfied.
I recommend this to anyone mature enough for classic literature. You won't regret it.

A brilliant guide to Ernest Hemingway's haunts in Paris. Informative, interesting, and easy to use it sets up easy walking tours to all Hemingway sights in Paris and gives informative/in-depth information about all of them....both from a Hemingwayesque perspective and from the perspective of the building's modern uuse. A Bible for all Hemingway aficionados traveling in Europe.

I had the pleasure of taking two courses on Hemingway from Professor Gajdusek. He brought energy and vitality to the study of Hemingway's works, and it was all we could do to keep him from bouncing off the walls with enthusiasm for his subject. Gadjdusekk brings that same energy to this little monogram. He thoroughly explores Joyce's influence on Hemingway's prose and literary techniques. Hemingway scholars have written in detail about the influences on Hemingway, namely Sherwood Anderson, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and biographers have detailed how those relationships eventually soured as Hemingway in one way or another turned on his former mentors. Gajdusek points out that the relationship with Joyce was an exception, that Hemingway retained a lifelong admiration for Joyce. Gajdusek gives us a close comparison of the two writer's prose styles and traces Joyce's influence on Hemingway's choice of imagery and words, and he argues that it was Joyce, more than any other writer, who taught Hemingway to write as Santiago fished, casting his lines deeper than others. This is a well-crafted monogram, carefully written and argued, and Gajdusek's love for Hemingway's works and the enthusiasm he has for his subject comes through in every sentence.
