Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was one of the great literary figures of the twentieth century and one of the great stylists in both fiction and non-fiction prose. An extraordinary number of his letters are still extant, and this edition is reproducing them all, from childhood notes to his parents and letters to writers and artists to communications made not long before his suicide. The multi-volume collection is a scholarly event of historic importance and interest. For the first time, readers have access to the complete letters of the uncommonly popular and extraordinarily influential Nobel Laureate, whose outsized public persona has sometimes overshadowed the complex man and revolutionary artist that the letters reveal.
