A winning combination of No.1 travel writer Michael Palin and one of the great literary figures of the century.
Hemingway's world was close and uncomfortable and itchy and sweaty and frequently exhausting... This stuff was too good to be wasted on school exams. I must be bold and fearless and go out there and do it for myself" (Michael Palin).
One hundred years after the birth of Hemingway Michael Palin sets out to discover the man behind the legend. From the forests and lakes of North Michigan to the First World War battlefields in Italy, from Paris in the roaring Twenties to the Spanish Civil War, Palin journeys on. There is the running of the bulls in Pamplona, the infectious madness of the Fallas festival in Valencia, and Key West, once unspoilt but now with its own flourishing Hemingway industry. And in Cuba, Hemingway's adopted home for over twenty years, bar-hopping, marlin-fishing and daiquiris help unravel some of the myths surrounding Hemingway's life. Full of Palin's unique wit and humour, this is a fascinating insight into the extraordinary mind and life of one of the 20th century's greatest and most colourful legends.
