Hemingway spends most of his time deep-sea fishing with his companions. He becomes Key West's no. 1 attraction. The Hemingway image starts to grow. His main interest is the active life of a man born for adventure. With the appearance of Martha Gellhorn, a journalist and politically committed writer, Hemingway's interests focus on the rise of fascism in Europe, especially the Spanish Civil War.

Overview

Ernest Hemingway attained celebrity at the age of twenty-five. Some of his novels are among the greatest bestsellers of American literature. His life is a legend woven with countless passions, encounters and experiences. This colossus of a man was a novelist, journalist polemicist, playwright, hunter, fisherman, adventurer... A globetrotter with a hermit's soul, he went through three wars, had a life-long romance with danger, and made death his closest companion and his main source of inspiration. The son of a Puritan family, he was also a pleasure seeker. A self-confessed male chauvinist, he thought of Woman as a muse, a worshipper, a second mother. His four wives- Hadley Richardson, Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gellhorn and Mary Welsh - represented both his mirror and his straight man, seeking to appease his torments and contradictions and to accompany him to the end of his dreams.
