"\n  Now hailed as a classic, Carlos Baker&rsquo;s bestselling biography brings into sharp focus one of the titans of twentieth-century American literature, a writer whose life itself was the stuff of legend.\n  Baker draws not only on Hemingway&rsquo;s unpublished writings but on the personal testimony of the artists and writers, sportsmen and soldiers who played a part in his career. The scenes are\n  spectacular, and the gallery of characters is a panorama of the literary history of our time: Fitzgerald, Ford, Pound, Stein, Dos Passos.\n\n\n  Baker reveals a man of baffling complexity behind the myths and mystique of the Hemingway persona&mdash;volcanic, mercurial, frequently tortured, consumed with anxiety, never uninteresting. Here are the\n  many faces of Hemingway: boxer, drinker, humorist, fisherman, hunter, lover, activist, and above all, the most influential prose stylist of the century.\n"
