194133<p>Ernest Hemingway<br />Autograph letter signed "Ernesto" to George Brown.<br />Dated "The night before our arrival in Hawaii" February 1941.<br />7 pages 12mo in pencil on two bifolia with the letterhead of the Matson Line shipping company.<br /><br /><strong>A remarkable letter: pure Hemingway.</strong><br /><br /></p><p><em>"Dear George </em></p><p><em>We had an OK trip to Los Angeles. Went OK there. Stayed with Coopers who met us with the big new Cadillac double funeral hearse he bought his wife for Xmas and they had a dinner that night with one swell broad Carole Landis that all the married or uglies jumped all over because she got a little drunko. But she was only 22 and I said to them they should have seen what guys like me or Cooper were like when we were drunk at 22. Coopers wife Rocky and I beat Cooper and Marty 5 set of tennis to win 11 dollars in 2 days. But no money changes hands that way on acct of husband and wife. I think Marty and I could beat them but Mrs C. likes to win very much. More even than giggy. She has very extensive taught ground strokes but she has a high bouncing serve that I could set myself and murder so it is better for her happiness that we are partners. Marty was much prettier than the hollwood shes and looked like a human being instead of a kennel entry but I shudder to think what would pass with the Colonel faced by them blondes altho lots of them were 22-23 years old which is aged in the Colonels book. With a cold my ears gave me hell on the plane. Never had that before. San Francisco was fine. We ate very well and saw Mike Ward an old pal and his wife and shipped up Ingrid Bergman to look her over for Maria for the picture. She is perfect. Really swell. Not like those Hollywooders. On this boat it has been rough as a bastard all the time. The gym guy wouldn't box. He rubs too and he says he is afraid it would hurt his hands altho he says he teaches boxing. he comes from Hollywood too where I guess hands hurt easy. Probably his thumbs swell up. It was a shame because I was going to left hook him in the profile like Barney Gimbel ruining a bum. But I worked on the big bag instead but couldn't rouse no really dirty feeling against it on such short acquaintance and when you get close to it the fucking thing seems sort of dead and helpless and not like ones fellow man. I practiced hitting it in the balls a little. Tomorrow we get into Honolulu. It sounds more like a ½ jig Coney Island or Polynesian Miami Beach all the time. The food on this boat is swell tho. Marty sends her love. We got a bang out of the wire. I miss you and the reading Colonel and working out and all the fun we have but will be back soon with a lot of new lies and stories. Take care of yourself.</em></p><p><em>Best always from us both</em></p><p><em>Ernesto"</em></p><p><br /><br />This letter is addressed to George Brown a very close friend of Hemingway an Irishman who had given him boxing lessons in New York and who would still be by his side the day before his suicide.<br /><br />Hemingway had spent a few days in Los Angeles staying with Gary Cooper where preparations were underway for the film adaptation of For Whom the Bell Tolls starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman directed by Sam Wood and released in 1943.<br /><br />In his inimitable style—full of energy humor and coarseness—Hemingway recounts the various episodes that punctuated his stay.<br /><br />We encounter Gary Cooper his wife Sandra Shaw known as Rocky the actress Carole Landis Ingrid Bergman David O. Selznick amid tennis matches drinking boxing and social gatherings.<br /><br />Hemingway begins by gently mocking the actor and his "double Cadillac hearse" then introduces us to a Hollywood party where Carole Landis 1919–1948 has had a bit too much to drink prompting "the married men and the ugly ones" to crowd around her.<br /><br />Nurturing his own legend the author cannot resist adding: "they should have seen what guys like me or Cooper were like when we were drunk at 22." Hemingway formed a genuine friendship with the actor of whom he said: "Coop is a fine man; as honest upright kind and decent as he seems. If one invented a character like Coop no one would believe it. He is simply too good to be true."<br /><br />His admiration also extends to Ingrid Bergman: "She is perfect. Really wonderful. Not like those Hollywood women."<br /><br />Hemingway had just married his third wife Martha Gellhorn whom he praises here in his own way: "Marty was much prettier than the Hollywood women and looked like a human being instead of a kennel entry."<br /><br />The two couples exchanging partners engage in fierce tennis matches. Here again the writer's confidence comes through: "She has very extensive well-trained ground strokes but she has a high-bouncing serve that I could murder so it is better for her happiness that we are partners."<br /><br />But it is in his account of the boxing bouts he longs to fight that Hemingway appears most fully himself. He overwhelms with sarcasm the ship's gym instructor who refuses to spar with him for fear of hurting his hands.<br /><br />So Hemingway unleashes himself on the punching bag giving us a small anthology piece brimming with humor: "But I worked on the big bag instead… and when you get close to it the damn thing seems sort of dead and helpless and not like one's fellow man. I practiced hitting it in the balls a little."<br /><br />His description of Honolulu is equally striking: "It sounds more and more like some half-assed Coney Island or Polynesian Miami Beach."<br /><br />These lines give an exact sense of what the writer's conversation with his friends must have been like.<br /><br />The letter also mentions another of his close friends Taylor Williams his hunting guide known as "the Colonel" who seems to have had a taste for rather young women: "I shudder to think what would pass with the Colonel faced by them blondes… even if many were 22–23 years old which is aged in the Colonel's book."<br /><br />As he says at the end of the letter "we will be back soon with a lot of new lies and stories."<br /><br />This lively letter is a wonderful example of those stories that delighted his friends—and now delight us.</p>

ril. Nel 1948 Ernest Hemingway arriva in Italia con la quarta moglie, Mary Welsh. Il piroscafo che doveva condurre la coppia e l'inseparabile Buick - legata alla prua - in Provenza, non riesce ad approdare a Cannes a causa del maltempo e deve per forza navigare fino a Genova. Per Hemingway è uno shock: mancava dall'Italia da trent'anni, da quando diciottenne aveva combattuto sul fronte italiano. È uno scrittore in cerca di ispirazione: non pubblica un romanzo da dieci anni, è un momento difficile, e quando scende sul molo osannato e assediato dai giornalisti, viene sommerso dai ricordi e decide che quello che era destinato a essere un breve interludio fra Cuba e la Provenza diventerà un viaggio di parecchi mesi nei luoghi che aveva frequentato da giovane. Da Genova a Milano, da Stresa a Cortina, incontra e fa accordi con i suoi editori italiani, il «comunista» Giulio Einaudi e il nonideologico Arnoldo Mondadori. Conosce la sua voce italiana, Fernanda Pivano con il compagno Ettore Sottsass, Italo Calvino, Natalia Ginzburg. Fra un drink e una battuta di caccia si spinge fino a Venezia e a Torcello, dove incontra una giovane aristocratica veneziana, Adriana Ivancich, di cui si innamora, ricambiato. Sarà la sua «ultima musa»: la relazione è complessa e destinata a non durare, lo sanno entrambi. E tuttavia grazie a lei Hemingway ricomincerà a scrivere: Adriana è la Renata di «Di là dal fiume e tra gli alberi», romanzo che Hemingway considera un capolavoro e che verrà inizialmente stroncato dalla critica. Ma dopo questo, con al suo fianco Adriana che per breve tempo si trasferisce (con la madre) a Cuba, Hemingway scriverà anche «Il vecchio e il mare», che gli vale il Premio Pulitzer e, l'anno successivo, il Premio Nobel.
