Autumn in Venice : Ernest Hemingway and his last muse

Di Robilant, Andrea, 1957-2019
Books
In the autumn of 1948 Hemingway and his fourth wife travelled for the first time to Venice, which Hemingway called 'a goddam wonderful city'. He was a year shy of his fiftieth birthday and hadn't published a novel in nearly a decade. At a duck shoot in the lagoon he met and fell in love with Adriana Ivancich, a striking Venetian girl just out of finishing school. Di Robilant - whose great uncle moved in Hemingway's revolving circle of bon vivants, aristocrats and artists - recreates with sparkling clarity this surprising, years-long relationship.
