Sinopse

Published posthumously in 1986, The Garden of Eden , by Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway, traces the lives of a young American writer and his glamorous wife who fall in love with the same woman.

The Garden of Eden was conceived in 1946, contemporaneously with other novels published during Hemingway's lifetime, such as The Old Man and the Sea and A Feast for Paris . However, it only reached bookstores 25 years after his death.

Considered a watershed moment in the perception of the American author by readers and scholars, the novel is unique among Hemingway's works. Its exploration of gender roles and identities, sexual practices, and artistic expression challenged traditional notions held by Hemingway fans.

Although not an autobiographical novel, many similarities exist between the author and his protagonist. David Bourne is a young, rising American writer eager to write his next story. Newly married to the glamorous Catherine, they honeymoon in the 1920s on the Côte d'Azur. Until one day, they meet Marita, and from that moment on, their lives take a new direction. David and Catherine are both attracted to Marita, and the dangerous erotic game they engage in as they fall in love with the same woman gradually weakens their relationship.

Amidst this love triangle, Hemingway gives us excellent clues about what it means to be a writer through David's intellectual struggles—as he attempts to describe in short stories his childhood journey through Africa with his father, hunting elephants, putting on hold the main narrative of his travels with Catherine. He also reveals his vulnerability, hidden behind his public image, and the high price artists must pay to pursue their calling.

Written in the post-war period and set between drinks and afternoons in the sun, literary work and fun, The Garden of Eden is a remarkable exercise in liberation and contains the author's most impressive female character.

This edition features a foreword by Charles Scribner Jr., describing the process of editing the manuscript – in light of the clarity and consistency of an unfinished work – and an afterword by Roberto Muggiati, presenting the similarities between Hemingway and his work.

“A lean, sensual narrative... taut, chic, and strangely contemporary, The Garden of Eden represents vintage Hemingway, the master doing what no one did better.” - RZ Sheppard, Time

Sobre o autor

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.
