Ernest Hemingway - The Early Years | Biographical Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лют 2024
- 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 throwing 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 One of this biographical documentary explores the life of Ernest Hemingway, to uncover the man behind the myths - his bravery and vulnerability, his bullishness and sensitivity, his determination to be in control of his destiny and avoid the fate of his father…and his sad final year.
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:

Isn’t it wonderful to have a human narrator not a bloody AI robot !!!’
Narrator has a fabulous voice, so easy to listen and absorb, a rare tone.
The story of hemmingway is so steeped in intrigue and mystery…..like u said at the end, his life’s story is almost to extraordinary to be believed…cant wait to see part two….
This guy is a top notch narrator.
He basically abandoned his child
Professor Yorston, you have a beautiful way of illuminating complicated topics. When I was young, I was so appalled by Hemingway‘s crimes against large animals, I never even looked at his work, let alone his life. Except I came to admire his bequest to his cats. And, now that, over time, I have grown somewhat more capable of objectivity, I deeply appreciate having your guided introduction to Ernest Hemingway, the person. Thank you. Now to Part 2!
I agree, killing animals is both unnecessary and shameful
Thank you for clarifying the business about his mother dressing him up as girl when he was an infant. I know from other biographies that that was pretty common back then. You have made clear that his real damages came from his genetics and the wear and tear his adventurous life gave him.
Damn, if only Hemingway knew that Fitzgerald stole alot of his stuff from Zelda. She was just projecting how she felt about Scott onto Ernest, cuz Scott was the true phony. Zelda and Ernest both should've dumped his ass and hooked up with each other, may have had happier endings that way. Maybe? Possibly? Lol
Your lectures are always a pleasure to listen to! Thanks for all your hard work putting these together, it is much appreciated.
Fascinating biography of Hemingway! Looking forward to Part 2.
Fascinating review of this smouldering volcano . He and his family were a case study of the role genetics can play in mental disorders . Looking forward to part two .
Fascinating story and BRILLIANT NARRATOR thank you Asante Sana
Once again Doctor thank you so much,what a beautiful piece of work. Factual and of course the English language spoken so well.
Fantastic ! Just fantastic ! Wonderful job Professor.
Every time a notification from you comes up, I'm absolutely delighted!!❤🥰
Alright! another lovely Prof. Yorston video! i absolutely love your channel. good sir.
Thank you for making these videos Professor, they are greatly appreciated and they help distract me from my self loathing
Can’t wait for part 2.
I visited his Key West home a few years back. There’s lots of cats around the house and yard who I think are the descendants of his original white cat I think named Snowflake. Most of them are 6-toed. Very cute! As for the dress when he’s a baby yes as you pointed out that was normal for little boys and very handy for diaper changing as you said. I have a photo of my dad from 1922 wearing a dress, not extremely frilly but definitely a dress. Great video!
