Hemingway in Italy by Richard Owen

Ernest Hemingway is most often associated with Spain, Cuba and Florida, but Italy was equally important in his life, its landscape and people inspiring much of his most famous work. First visiting in the First World War (the background to A Farewell to Arms), Hemingway returned to the country again and again, spending time in Sicily, Genoa, Rapallo and Cortina in the Italian Alps. Most of all, however, he loved Venice and the Veneto.

In Hemingway in Italy, Richard Owen shows how Italy belongs alongside Spain as a key influence on Hemingway’s writing and why the Italians themselves held Hemingway and his writing close to their hearts.

RICHARD OWEN was The Times correspondent for 15 years. He was previously the paper’s correspondent in Moscow, Brussels and Jerusalem, and also served as Foreign Editor. Owen has written several works of non-fiction, including Crisis in the Kremlin: Soviet Succession and the Rise of GorbachovLetter from Moscow, Chaucer’s Italy, DH Lawrence in Italy and Lady Chatterley’s Villa.
