Knopf, $c 2018. 300 $a xiv, 348 pages : $b illustrations ; $c 22 cm 520 $a "The acclaimed author of A Venetian Affair now gives us the remarkable story of Hemingway's love affair with both the city of Venice and the muse he found there--a vivacious 18-year-old who inspired the man thirty years her senior to complete his great final work. In the fall of 1948 Hemingway and his fourth wife traveled for the first time to Venice, which Hemingway called "absolutely god-damned wonderful." He was a year shy of his fiftieth birthday and hadn't published a novel in nearly a decade. At a duck shoot in the lagoon he met and fell in love with Adriana Ivancich, a striking Venetian girl just out of finishing school. Andrea di Robilant--whose great uncle moved in Hemingway's revolving circle of bon vivants, aristocrats, and artists--recreates with sparkling clarity this surprising, years-long relationship. Hemingway used Adriana as the model for Renata in Across the River and Into the Trees, and continued to visit Venice to see her; when the Ivanciches traveled to Cuba, Adriana was there as he wrote The Old Man and the Sea. This illuminating story of writer and muse--which also examines the cost to a young woman of her association with a larger-than-life literary celebrity--is an intimate look at the fractured heart and changing art of Hemingway in his fifties"-- $c Dust jacket. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 333-337) and index. 505 0 $a Coming into the country -- The road to Cortina -- Venice -- Villa Aprile -- Finca VigiÌa -- Paris -- Venice -- Paris -- Crouching beast -- Let's dance -- Idyll of the sea -- Safari -- La enfermedad. 600 10 $a Hemingway, Ernest, $d 1899-1961 $x Homes and haunts $z Venice. $z Venice. 600 10 $a Hemingway, Ernest, $d 1899-1961 $x Italy. $x Italy. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Americans $z Venice $z Venice $v Biography. 651 0 $a Venice (Italy) $x In literature. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 6 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012008.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017025453.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006115353.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20180828010915.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20180728010745.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180703013255.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B3879BE7E8711E893E09E1097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
