Drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished material--including numerous letters and five early stories that appear in their entirety--this compelling biography traces the formative years of one of America's most celebrated and influential authors. The first of a projected three-volume life, it examines Hemingway's midwestern childhood, his journalistic apprenticeship, and his experiences as a Red Cross volunteer in Italy during World War I, closing with Hemingway on the brink of the literary career that would bring him worldwide fame.
