Synopsis "Dear Papa: The Letters of Patrick and Ernest Hemingway (in English)"

An intimate and illuminating glimpse at Ernest Hemingway as a father, revealed through a selection of letters he and his son Patrick exchanged over the span of twenty years. In the public imagination, Ernest Hemingway looms larger than life. But the actual person behind the legend has long remained elusive. Now, his son Patrick shares the letters they exchanged over two decades, offering a glimpse into how one of America's most iconic writers interacted with his children. These letters reveal a father who wished for his children to share his interests--hunting, fishing, travel--and a son who was receptive to the experiences his father offered. Edited by and including an introduction by Patrick Hemingway's nephew Brendan Hemingway and his grandson Stephen Adams, and featuring a prologue and epilogue by Patrick reflecting on his father's legacy, Dear Papa is a loving and collaborative family project and a nuanced, fascinating portrait of a father and son.

Ernest Miller Hemingway (Oak Park, 21 de julio de 1899-Ketchum, 2 de julio de 1961) fue un escritor y periodista estadounidense, uno de los principales novelistas y cuentistas del siglo XX.

Su estilo sobrio—que él denominó la teoría del iceberg—tuvo una gran influencia sobre la ficción del siglo XX, mientras que su vida de aventuras y su imagen pública le trajeron la admiración de las generaciones posteriores. Hemingway escribió la mayor parte de su obra entre mediados de la década de 1920 y mediados de la década de 1950. Ganó el Premio Pulitzer en 1953 por El viejo y el mar y al año siguiente el Premio Nobel de Literatura por su obra completa. Publicó siete novelas, seis recopilaciones de cuentos, dos ensayos y una obra de teatro.

Póstumamente se publicaron tres novelas, cuatro libros de cuentos y tres ensayos. Muchos de estos son considerados clásicos de la literatura de Estados Unidos.
