One hundred years after the birth of Ernest Hemingway, Michael Palin sets out to discover the man behind the legend: a hard-drinking womaniser who liked cats and shooting - but who wrote like a dream and left an indelible impression on the twentieth century through his work.
Past and present intertwine when Michael travels to First World War battlefields in Italy, to Paris, and to Spain, where he learns about both bullfighting and the Civil War. He sees Florida celebrate the Hemingway centenary - with a look-alike competition, fishes on the Gulf Stream, goes on camera-safari in Africa, and visits Hemingway's hideaway in Idaho.
Inspired by the research for his bestselling novel 'Hemingway's Chair', and as always driven by a desire to discover new places, Michael Palin explores Hemingway's world.
Photographed and designed by Basil Pao, this book contains over 200 black and white and full-colour photographs.
