Sinopse

How We Got to Paris and Other Stories is a personal glimpse into the life of writer, journalist, war correspondent, and adventurer Ernest Hemingway, from his experiences in the Spanish Civil War and World War II to his passion for bullfighting and his first African safari.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize for Literature, Ernest Hemingway loved boxing, hunting, fishing, safaris, and bullfighting. He fought in both World Wars, from which he returned a hero. His relentless pursuit of adventure and his deep connection with nature were ever-present in his stories.

How We Got to Paris and Other Stories is an immersion into the mind of the journalist and war correspondent through seventy-seven articles that were published in newspapers and magazines between 1920 and 1956. Throughout these pages, there are all kinds of experiences of Hemingway, who began his career at seventeen as a reporter for the Kansas City Star and has a journalistic production estimated at more than a million words over four decades.

In addition to covering the literary genius's extensive experience during the Spanish Civil War and World War II, the book recounts his adventures and travels to Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France, Cuba, and Africa. It describes encounters with diverse cultures and landscapes, while also criticizing the American way of life and contextualizing the cultural, social, and political landscape of the time.

Selected and organized by journalist and writer William White, the texts in How We Got to Paris and Other Stories are capable of conveying all the beauty and meaning that Hemingway was able to extract from the most ordinary life.

“This generous volume, which reprints seventy-seven of his journalistic articles, is a welcome addition to the shelf of posthumous Hemingway books.” – Carlos Baker, The New York Times

"The world around him was crumbling, and he wrote about it. Seventy-seven proofs of that world's decline—his testimony to the turbulent history of the first half of the 20th century—are gathered in the book you hold in your hands. The broad spectrum is surprising, even for those who believe they know this side of the 1954 Nobel Prize winner in Literature. The selection ranges from what he published in the early 1920s to a kind of assessment of his own life, dated 1956, five years before his suicide." – Edney Silvestre

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway é um dos pilares da literatura contemporânea mundial. Nascido em 1899, começou a escrever aos 18 anos para um jornal. Quando os Estados Unidos entraram na Primeira Guerra Mundial, alistou-se como voluntário, tornando-se motorista de ambulância para o Exército da Itália. Após ser ferido, recebeu uma condecoração do governo italiano. Ao voltar para os Estados Unidos, trabalhou como repórter para jornais americanos e canadenses, e então voltou para a Europa, cobrindo eventos como a Revolução Grega.

Durante os anos 1920, tornou-se membro do grupo de expatriados americanos em Paris, o qual ele descreveu neste seu romance de estreia, publicado em 1926.

Ernest Hemingway foi agraciado como o Nobel de Literatura em 1954 e faleceu em 1961.
