Ernest Hemingway

A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea. These titles immediately bring to mind the adventurous life of their Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Ernest Hemingway.

As the program progresses, the many identities of Hemingway are revealed: husband, journalist, World War I ambulance driver, Spanish freedom fighter, African big game hunter, and Paris literary expatriate. Hemingway’s fascination with bullfighting is examined as a fixation with death. His final days in Cuba and tragic suicide in the 1960s conclude the program. A BBC Production. (53 minutes)
