However, it only reached bookstores 25 years after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAlthough 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAmidst 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Written in the post-war period and set between drinks and afternoons in the sun, literary work and fun, \u003cem\u003eThe Garden of Eden\u003c\/em\u003e is a remarkable exercise in liberation and contains the author's most impressive female character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e“A lean, sensual narrative... taut, chic, and strangely contemporary, \u003cem\u003eThe Garden of Eden\u003c\/em\u003e represents vintage Hemingway, the master doing what no one did better.” - RZ Sheppard, \u003cem\u003eTime\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159843586300,"sku":"9788528619195","price":84.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/f8f9ebd5883caf7b282018c009e1df6e_ae0edcc9-b563-4602-b749-8aec2d48b23e.jpg?v=1778326134","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/o-jardim-do-eden","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
