Paris in the twenties: Pernod, parties and expatriate Americans, loose-living on money from home. Jake is wildly in love with Brett Ashley, aristocratic and irresistibly beautiful, with an abandoned, sensuous nature that she cannot change. When the couple drift to Spain to the dazzle of the fiesta and the heady atmosphere of the Bullfight, their affair is strained by new passions, new jealousies, and Jake must finally learn that he will never possess the woman that he loves.

Lady Brett Ashley macht Manner in Serie unglucklich: ihren Vertrauten, den Ich-Erzahler Jack Barnes, einen typischen Hemingway-Helden, beherrscht und resigniert; den aus einer wohlhabenden Familie stammenden Amateurboxer Robert Cohn; und schlie?lich Pedro Romero, den Stierkampfer, stolz und voller Wurde, aber der Lady gegenuber machtlos. Sie alle leben mit fatalistischer Sorglosigkeit unter der hei?en Sonne Frankreichs und Spaniens, zwischen Arena und durchzechten Nachten.

In June of 1961, A.E. Hotchner visited an old friend in the psychiatric ward of St. Mary's Hospital. It would be the last time they spoke-a few weeks later, Ernest Hemingway was released home, where he took his own life. Their final conversation was also the final installment in a story whose telling Hemingway had spread over more than a decade. In characteristically pragmatic terms, Hemingway revealed to Hotchner the details of the affair that destroyed his first marriage: the truth of his romantic life in Paris and how he lost Hadley, the true part of each literary woman he'd later create and the great love he spent the rest of his life seeking. And he told of the mischief that made him a legend: of impotence cured in a house of God; of a plane crash in the African bush, from which Hemingway stumbled with a bunch of bananas and a bottle of gin in hand; of F. Scott Fitzgerald dispensing romantic advice and champagne in the buff with Josephine Baker; of adventure, human error, and life after lost love. This is Hemingway as you've never known him-humble, thoughtful, and full of regret. To protect the feelings of Ernest's wife-Mary, also a close friend-Hotch held back, keeping the conversations to himself for decades. Now, for the first time, he tells the whole story, mostly in Hemingway's own words. Hemingway in Love is the intimate and repentantly candid chapter missing from the definitive biography of a literary giant.
