Autumn in Venice

Ernest Hemingway and His Last Muse

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

On his first visit to Venice in 1948 the married Hemingway fell in love both with the city and with Adriana Ivancich, a woman three decades his junior whom he met at a duck shoot. This book tells the story of their long relationship, which inspired Hemingway to write again – most notably the Pulitzer-winning The Old Man and the Sea – but came at a cost to Adriana’s reputation. American-cut pages. Slightly off-mint. Felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edge.
