In this highly original book Norman Bryson applied 'structuralist' and 'post-structuralist' approaches to French Romantic Painting. He considers the work of David, Ingres and Delacroix as artists who found themselves within an artistic tradition that had nothing creative to offer them.

Ernest Hemingway, delusional, paranoid, depressed and suicidal, was treated in 1961 at the Mayo Clinic where he was cared for by a team of Catholic nurses led by Sister Immaculata.
The particulars of their relationship are lost to history, but their connection was close enough to prompt Hemingway, already a literary titan, to give the sister a copy of his acclaimed novella “The Old Man and the Sea,” with a personal, optimistic inscription dated June 16, 1961.
“To Sister Immaculata: this book, hoping to write another one as good for her when my writing luck is running well again. and it will.”
Ernest Hemingway
Biographical
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), born in Oak Park, Illinois, started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. After the United States entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. Serving at the front, he was wounded, was decorated by the Italian Government, and spent considerable time in hospitals. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers and was soon sent back to Europe to cover such events as the Greek Revolution.
During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises (1926). Equally successful was A Farewell to Arms (1929), the study of an American ambulance officer’s disillusionment in the war and his role as a deserter. Hemingway used his experiences as a reporter during the civil war in Spain as the background for his most ambitious novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Among his later works, the most outstanding is the short novel, The Old Man and the Sea (1952), the story of an old fisherman’s journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his victory in defeat.
Hemingway – himself a great sportsman – liked to portray soldiers, hunters, bullfighters – tough, at times primitive people whose courage and honesty are set against the brutal ways of modern society, and who in this confrontation lose hope and faith. His straightforward prose, his spare dialogue, and his predilection for understatement are particularly effective in his short stories, some of which are collected in Men Without Women (1927) and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories (1938). Hemingway died in Idaho in 1961.

Ernest Hemingway died on July 2, 1961.
'You have youth, confidence, and a job, ' the older waiter said. 'You have everything.'
'And what do you lack?'
'Everything but work.'
'You have everything I have.'
'No. I have never had confidence and I am not young.'
'Come on. Stop talking nonsense and lock up.'
'I am those who like to stay late in the cafe', the older waiter said. 'With all those who do not want to go to bed. With all those who need a light for the night.'
---A Clean Well-Lighted Place,
Ernest Hemingway
I still remember in the Creative Writing Program from the University of Iowa this was the first story we need to read and analyze.
The sheer brilliance of Hemingway's art of stripping language to the bare minimum with all details reaching the depth. The use of dialogues and to portray pictures of the night with the shadow of the leaves on the table in contrast to the light that the waiters speak of.
I perhaps read this fifteen times. Yesterday I read it again in this marvelous Vintage Hemingway edition of "The Essential Hemingway."
I rank this story as Hemingway's best after a near novella "The Snows of Kilimanjaro."
Ernest Hemingway preferred living in Cuba from 1939 to 1960 because it offered a peaceful, inspiring, and culturally rich environment that perfectly nurtured his writing, fishing passion, and need for privacy away from the United States
. He deeply loved the Cuban people, calling himself "Cubano sato" (an average Cuban), and felt at home in the relaxed, vibrant atmosphere of Havana and the fishing village of Cojimar.
Key reasons for his preference included:
Productivity and Atmosphere: He found his home, Finca Vigía, to be a perfect, quiet place to write, allowing him to produce masterpieces like The Old Man and the Sea.
Passion for Fishing: The proximity to the sea allowed him to spend days fishing for marlin on his boat, the Pilar, which was central to his life in Cuba.
Cultural Connection: He enjoyed the local culture, including the daiquiris at El Floridita and the camaraderie with the local people, whom he admired greatly.
Distance from U.S. Norms: Cuba provided a necessary escape from his childhood, American, and, at times, celebrity-driven life, offering a different, simpler way of life.
A "Native" Feel: Unlike his time in Europe, he fully immersed himself in the Cuban landscape, feeling a profound, lasting bond with the island and its people.

At the ceremony in Sweden on Friday, DeBerg is scheduled to discuss the inscription’s significance, and a professional actor, Isa Aouifia, will read from “The Old Man and the Sea.”
Larsson, of the museum, said the inscription in the book “captures Hemingway at the end of his life — still hopeful, still writing, still reaching for one more story. It is an intimate piece of literary history, made even more meaningful by the compassion shown by the Franciscan Sisters.”
For more than 60 years, the Sisters of Saint Francis of Rochester in Minnesota have shepherded the book, which contains what are thought to be among the last words Hemingway wrote. Now they are donating it to the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm, which uses items to animate “the work and the ideas of more than 900 creative minds” of past Nobel Prize recipients, like Hemingway.

A Moveable Feast is Ernest Hemingway's beloved posthumous memoir about his early years as a struggling writer in 1920s Paris, detailing his experiences with his first wife Hadley, encounters with literary greats like Gertrude Stein and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and his development as a writer, capturing the vibrant, yet often harsh, reality of the "Lost Generation" in the City of Light. It's celebrated for its candid portrayal of love, poverty, and the dedication to craft, solidifying Paris's image as a transformative place for artists.
Key Aspects:
Setting: The Left Bank of Paris in the 1920s, a hub for expatriate writers and artists.
Content: Recollections of daily life, relationships (especially with Hadley), financial struggles, and the process of writing.
Themes: The essence of Paris, the challenges of writing, love and loss, and the search for meaning.
Publication: Published in 1964, three years after Hemingway's death, from manuscripts he'd prepared.
Why it's Famous:
Evocative Prose: Hemingway's direct, masterful style brings Paris and its characters to life, notes YouTube and Amazon.com.
Insight into Hemingway: Offers a personal look at the man behind the legend, revealing his vulnerabilities and dedication, say YouTube and YouTube.
Enduring Appeal: Captures a specific, magical time in literary history, making Paris seem like a magical, ever-present experience, writes YouTube and Reddit.
In the years following World War I, a group of young writers and artists gathered in Paris, bound by shared disillusionment and a hunger for experience. Dubbed the “Lost Generation” by Gertrude Stein, they spent their days writing and arguing and their nights drifting between cafés, bars, and apartments along the Left Bank. Cheap rent, strong opinions, and long afternoons at places like Shakespeare and Company made Paris the ideal incubator for a new kind of literary life.
At the center of this circle was Ernest Hemingway, alongside friends and fellow writers F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, John Dos Passos, and James Joyce. They passed the time boxing in makeshift gyms, attending bullfights in Spain, fishing, traveling by train across Europe, and drinking endless cafés crèmes and bottles of wine at spots like the Closerie des Lilas and the Dôme. Conversations moved easily from art and politics to money, women, and the next place to go.
What bound them together was not just friendship, but a shared way of living. They read each other’s work aloud, edited manuscripts over drinks, quarreled fiercely, and reconciled just as quickly. Out of these routines of work, wandering, sport, and social ritual came a body of writing that captured the restless spirit of the era. Nearly a century later, the image of the Lost Generation still conjures cafés at dusk, pages covered in pencil marks, and a group of friends trying to make sense of a changed world—led, unmistakably, by Hemingway.
