Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn by Martha Gellhorn

Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn by Martha Gellhorn

A literary landmark. Gellhorn's prose . . . is at its finest in the letter form.--Francine du Plessix Gray, The New York Times Book Review

Martha Gellhorn's reporting career brought her to the front lines of virtually every significant conflict from the Spanish Civil War to the end of the cold war. While Gellhorn's wartime dispatches rank among the best of the century, her personal letters are their equal: as vivid and fascinating as her reporting was trenchant. Gellhorn's correspondence introduces us to the woman behind the often inscrutable journalist, chronicling her friendships with twentieth-century luminaries as well as her tempestuous marriage to Ernest Hemingway.

Caroline Moorehead, Gellhorn's critically acclaimed biographer, was granted exclusive access to the letters. This expertly edited volume contextualizes Gellhorn's correspondence within the arc of her entire life; the result is an intimate portrait of one of the most accomplished women of modern times.

The author of The Face of War and The View from the Ground is Martha Gellhorn, a renowned war correspondent and peacetime writer. Weather in Africa and Honeyed Peace: Tales are two of her best-known works of fiction.
