Ernest Hemingway is almost as famous for his lifestyle as his writing. Mixing with a wealthy and glamorous set, he indulged his passions for hunting and fishing and was always launching himself into something new.
He didn’t have an easy start in life with an overbearing father and distinctly odd mother and a heavy genetic loading for mental instability.
But he redefined the boundaries of fiction with his unique writing style and
challenging themes. From the cafes of Paris to the savannas of Africa, the life he lived was like the characters he created: full throttle, flawed, but always fascinating.
Part Two of this biographical documentary explores the second half of his life - his Spanish Civil War experiences , his spying activities, his involvement in the Second World War, his relationship with wives number three and four and the illness that ultimately cost him his life.
he was one of most complex personalities of the 20th century, a man of great sensitivity and profound insights, but a man full of contradictions who could also be infuriatingly selfish and bitter. A man full of life and enthusiasm who tried so hard to exorcise the demons of his youth but who was tragically unable to escape his genetic inheritance.
Finding Out More:
There are many biographies of Hemingway: the monumental five volume work by Michael Reynolds is the most detailed, but The Hemingway Women focusses on his relationships and A E Hotchner’s Papa Hemingway is a more personal memoir. I have added these to my Amazon store page:

@@professorgraemeyorston 🎯 Ernest seems to have always been on the winning side of conflict. He was on the winning side in both world wars. As a hunter, he had the advantage of guns against claws or horns. But as you said Professor, what drove him to seek danger may have been what he feared inside of himself.I just sent your link to a dear friend, a Fellow at Harvard and a doctor who has become quite an expert in symbology in Renaissance era art. I have read several biographies of Hemingway, but nothing compares to this reveal. You are either deflecting mythologies, or exposing the warts and blemishes that accompany genius.Its a truly novel, unique and amazing journey you present. Great work Professor !

@David-nx2vm 3 месяца назад

I was “forced” to read Hemingway in school, and came to embrace the stories, the adventure, the far-away places. As a kid, I lived vicariously through Hemingway. Later, in my own military career, I also had adventures in exotic places. My stories are nowhere near as good as Hemingway’s, and my personal life is positively boring. Regardless, I consider myself fortunate that in my youth, I imagined what Hemingway’s life must have been like, and as an adult, part of my imagination came true. I have visited Hemingway’s grave in Ketchum - publicly accessible and easy to find in the municipal cemetery. I picked up a small flat stone on the ground near his headstone and it’s on my desk as a reminder of him. It’s so unfortunate that he was such a tortured soul at the end of his life.

As a writer myself i can say that the more you live and write the more you become aware of the veil and the true nature of reality we are living in and the more you need a drink to cope with it. If you happen to find yourself in that position, the only way is the one forward to hopefully find a new way without needing the bottle. I've been lucky enough to become able to barely need to touch it again but not quite there yet. Thank you for this marvelous two part presentation professor Yorston.

@professorgraemeyorston 3 месяца назад

@soilmanted 3 месяца назад

@OffRampTourist I think you are right, people in general still don't appreciate the long-term effects of head injuries. That's why I think children should not be playing football, and why physicians should not be sending electric current through a person's head without the person's informed consent. While the amount of injury from electric current may vary, from instance to instance, I think psychiatrists tend to underplay just how injurious this can be, when discussing it with patients beforehand, and not only do psychiatrists still prescribe sending electric current though the heads of some people without getting any consent from them at all, but they also do this to some people despite these expressing their refusal to have it done. That is why, if you have problems in living for which psychiatric treatment might be of help to you, the risks of receiving damaging treatment instead, without your consent, may make it wiser to avoid consulting a psychiatrist in the first place. While in most states in the United States involuntary "observation" in a mental ward can be instituted at the best of any 2 Medical Doctors, neither of which needs to be a psychiatrist, in actual practice involuntary observation is not usually instituted unless at least one of the MDs is a board certified psychiatrist. That's just the way it's usually done. By the way once you are under observation, whether involuntarily of you've signed up for this voluntarily, you may be subjected to various involuntary "treatment" even after you have requested a legal hearing seeking release from captivity. I'm not a lawyer but I think in many states they can keep you locked up for up to 30 days before giving you a legal hearing.

@harryknickerbocker9889 3 месяца назад

Hemmingway had to live the life he lived to give a sense of believable truth to his wonderful stories. For him I think that meant avoiding writing that was based on his imagination alone. He needed the many facts and details that he could only get from reality to write the way he did. He was very much like a Zen master tuned into the moment. And, in the end, the books he wrote always contained some aspect of himself and his life. He lived what he wrote, and that is what made him such a great writer. I think the reader can sense the element of truth in his writing.

@roywallace3964 3 месяца назад

Well thought out and stated about my favorite author. His simple, descriptive style painted a picture with simple words without trying to impress the reader with long, complex sentences. He was a “man’s man” with lots of human faults..making him that much more appealing.

@davidthomas9276 2 месяца назад

@harryknickerbocker9889: Very well put. Was it the Pulitzer Prize that mentioned his narrative style? That style of his is what draws me and delights me. Perhaps it is, as you say, the ring of truth coming through. I would say it is the ring of truth, as well as a profound depth delivered simply. I've tried for a long time to describe it, but you have come as close as anyone. Thank you.

And nobody can deny that his impact on literature was lasting and revolutionary. But he must have been very difficult to live with. Like so many other artists.

My one college professor, who wrote his dissertation on Hemingway, made us read everything we possibly could by Hemingway - most of his novels - over the course of 14 months. Count me as one of the few who found Hemingway's writing to be dreadfully boring. After 1984, I never touched any of his writings again. I think that ultimately, he was quite the enigma. (How about a special on Thomas Aquinas?)

Thanks Prof Yorston. I very much enjoyed your perspective of Ernest Hemingway. My dad had a massive head injury that altered his personality. His moods would change abruptly, often with violence or just odd, inappropriate behaviour. He also suffered from depression. Some parts of his brain were undamaged however. He could still play piano and enjoy books.... but you could tell after a few minutes, there was something off about him.. Funny that Hemingway was a cat man. Some of the most macho family members I'd known adored their cats.
