Author: Hemingway, Ernest
Publication Date: 03/20/1996
Format: Paperback
This is the dramatic, brutal story of Harry Morgan and his efforts to support his family by running contraband between Key West and Cuba. Set in the 1930s, the book carries all the flavor of an era that was poor, tough and resourceful.
Harshly realistic, yet with one of the most subtle and moving relationships in Hemingway's "oeuvre", it goes beyond high adventure. It was adapted for film and became a memorable classic, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
"Hemingway's gift for dialogue, for effective understatement, and for communicating such emotions the tough allow themselves, has never been more conspicuous." The Times, London
Hemingway's famous novel about a man who runs contraband between Cuba and Key West in the 1930s is at once a realistic adventure tale and a moving, subtle portrait of an unlikely love affair. "Hemingway's gift for dialogue, for effective understatement, and for communicating such emotions as the tough allow themselves, has never been more conspicuous."--Times Literary Supplement
