Ernest Hemingway, der rastlose Jäger

von Harald Schweim Geht es Ihnen auch so, immer einmal wieder greift man in seinem Bücherschrank zu Schriftsteller, deren Werke man schon zuvor gelesen hat? Hemingway war der Lieblingsschriftsteller eines meiner Lehrer für Deutsch und Englisch auf dem Gymnasium Mitte der 1960er, der mein Interesse an ihm weckte. Ursprünglich auf Deutsch, später auch auf Englisch habe ich seine Geschichten…

It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” ~~A.A.Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh So, what brought you back to me, Moxie? I watched you wandering around the pool, and you looked intent. You found me back here among the palms, in the cool air. The sun was getting too intense for me.

Hemingway, his life through his wife's

By Jacques de miscault

Hemingway is one of the most famous journalist of the 20th century. He was more than a reporter. An adventurer and writer, his work inspired people all around the world and his life was full of events. Some of them are known because he published lots of stories. Others, more private events, were discovered after his death.

4 weddings and one funeral

To resume the life of this legend in the journalism world, the French TV station Arte choose the loving side of the men. The documentary named “4 weddings and one funeral” relates the love adventures that Hemingway had, 4 weddings indeed, and exposes his personality. The use of archive footage adds a real historical side to the documentary and the powerful text of Virginie Linhart makes it very truthful and full of emotions. By the prism of multiple weddings, she drew the picture of an obsessive man who gave far too much importance to appearance and could not stop moving. A shadow side to a life of brilliance.

An insatiable adventurer

Adventure is the beginning of everything for the men of Illinois, and every adventure must start with an encounter. “The world is a prison, and we will open it in every way.” Said his first wife, the pianist Elizabeth Hadley. After they met and got married, they went to Paris in 1921 where Hemingway will meet his first success with “A farewell to arms” several years later. But the comfort she gave him was not enough. Therefore in 1928, Hemingway moved to Florida with another women, Pauline Pfeiffer, a French journalist. This period will be the most prolific of his life. Publishing more and more papers and making a name for himself among journalists. After that, he went to Spain during the war, guided by his never-ending need to travel. Where he will meet Martha Gellhorn. A brilliant writer and war correspondent. During their relation he will let us “For whom the bell tolls”, a novel narrating the life of a young American volunteer attached to an republican guerilla during the Spanish war. The union with Gellhorn will fall apart when Hemingway will meet his last wife, Mary Welsh, in 1944. She will stay with him until his suicide in 1961. Standing by his side during his Nobel Price announce in 1954. A ceremony that he won’t even attend.

Linhart shows us a men who could not stay put, always needed change. Searching by any means inspiration.

Besides its tart portraits of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway’s posthumous memoir of his early days in Paris, “A Moveable Feast,” provides a heart-wrenching depiction of marital betrayal.

The final chapter, “There Is Never Any End to Paris,” is a wistful paean to Hadley Richardson, Hemingway’s first wife, whom the writer left for her best friend. The friend, Pauline Pfeiffer, the wealthy woman who became Hemingway’s second wife, is portrayed as something of a wily predator, and it is Hemingway’s “bad luck” that he falls for her.

It turns out that the story behind the editing of the book is nearly as juicy as the tales within it, and has become something of a multigenerational custody battle over how to cast the larger-than-life author’s stormy romantic history.

Mary Hemingway, the writer’s fourth and final wife, was the one who edited the first edition of “A Moveable Feast,” published by Scribner in 1964, cobbling it together from shards of the unfinished manuscript he left behind. She created a final chapter that dealt with the dissolution of Hemingway’s first marriage and the beginning of his relationship with Pauline, building some of it from parts of the book he had indicated he did not want included

If I ever date/marry a rich guy that cheats on me I aspire to be at the level of Pauline Marie Pfeiffer, Ernest Hemingway's second wife. Pauline Marie Pfeiffer was a journalist that wrote for Vogue (jealous!), so we know she was a stylish and sophisticated lady. When she found out that her husband was having an affair she ripped out his precious boxing ring and spent a bunch of his money on is big pool (costing over $20,000 in construction at the time) where she threw extravagant pool parties at (because she writes for Vogue why wouldn't she?) When he got back to his home in the Keys, he supposedly flung a penny on the ground, saying “Pauline, you’ve spent all but my last penny, so you might as well have that!” I like to imagine she was smirking when that happened. Fucking legend.

The theater was really full tonight so there are a good number of heads in this video, but they are worked around to the best of my ability. This is a super small theater (less than 160 seats) and at times the cast members were definitely singing to the camera and honestly giving their best performances because of it. All of the things on the upper level (the bathroom, the pathway, and the kitchen) are captured perfectly, and the zooms on the lower level (the living room and bench) look good as well. Obviously because this is a murder mystery kind of show the lighting can get a little bit dark, but my camera handles low lighting incredibly well.

Inside the #Gellerthill lies a cave and inside that: a stunning church. What’s visually interesting about this small church is not only the juxtaposition of finely made religious statues against the rough stone walls of the cave. But, the light that shines down at various points lends a supernatural quality to the space. The illumination makes this place a very inspiring church to be in. A unique take on faith being solid as a rock, The #RockChurch has an amount of space that was established as a Holy Grotto in 1926. You would think the grotto church must have been a pagan ritualistic place gradually getting Christianised. Not so. The construction of the underground church in the 2oth century was a conscious decision: Hungarian pilgrims saw the Maria Cave in Lourdes in France, and thought it should be built in Budapest too. There was a ready made natural cave in the Gellert Hill, the St Ivan cave, which – according to the legend, was a place for healing. Some time in the medieval ages there was a hermit called Ivan (doesn’t sound very Hungarian, we know) who cured many people with the thermal healing waters that kept flowing from the underground hot springs from the karst caves of the Gellert Hill. But why did the Hungarian pilgrims find it important to copy the Maria Cave Church in Lourdes? They were devastated. The nation was devastated. And it all began with the Treaty of Trianon. Since 1920, Hungary was mourning and mourning, crying for its loss (see some more historical background at the bottom of this article). Back to 1924, when a group of Hungarian monks went to Lourdes in France and Limpias in Spain to pray for … well, peace, and consolation – there was a widespread national mourning. Just imagine: almost every Hungarian family had a relative who was beyond the newly drawn borders, or forced to move to a new place in the much much smaller Hungary). So Hungarians prayed to Maria, historically the Patron of Hungary, and the Cave Church was founded to adore Maria (the idea came from Gyorgy Pfeiffer, ministerial advisor). Just like in Lourdes. So it was The Cave of Maria in Lourdes that inspired the pilgrims, and brought back the idea that Hungarians should spread the love of Maria from this healing cave. “In our 1924 pilgrimage,” says Gyorgy Pfeiffer, “we understood that we would need to set up a shrine for our lost Hungarian Patron in the heart of our motherland, the truncated Hungary so that the respect of Our Lady would spread from the shrine.” In 1926 the main altar was in the outer cave and the benches for the church goers were outside the cave, on the terrace. In order to channel the thousands of believers attending (wishing to attend) the church, the engineers were trying to make a tunnel in the hill. However, the attempts to make a tunnel failed, thus giving way to several little chapels underground in the Cave Church. By 1930, the church proved to be too small, so a newer, deeper and wider Cave Church was shaped in the Gellert Hill.In 1931 there were approx. 20,000 attenders to inaugurate the newly constructed nave (the main hall) of the Cave Church in Budapest (also called the St Gellert Cave Chapel). If you visit the Cave Church, you will feel how incredibly crowded the cave and its surroundings must have been. The Hungarian Pauline order, for whom the Cave Church was built, freshly returning from Poland, received its new church in 1934. During the WW2, the number of Pauline monks suddenly surged: the Pauline order disguised refugees as the members of the Pauline order. In May 1948 during the #Fatima mass there were about 100,000 attenders at the Cave Church where Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty, the symbol of the Nazi opposition as well as the Communist opposition also participated. The relationship between the communist Hungarian government and the “Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit” hasn’t always been good. The entire Pauline order was arrested on Easter Monday, 1951, by the Communist government and charged with treason. The head monk was executed, the rest were put into labor camps and the church was sealed behind an eight-foot wall of concrete. The #Pauline order got the church back in 1989. Since then, the Cave Church started its life again with 3 daily masses.

The Legendary Behind The Shadow In the 1990′s

          The first son of Clarence Edmonds Hemingway, a doctor, and Grace Hall Hemingway, Ernest Miller Hemingway was born in a suburb of Chicago in year 1898, July 21st. He was educated in the public schools and began to write in high school, where he was active and outstanding, but the parts of his boyhood that mattered most were summers spent with his family on Walloon Lake in upper Michigan. On graduation from high school in 1917, impatient for a less-sheltered environment, he did not enter college but went to Kansas City, where he was employed as a reporter for the Star. He was repeatedly rejected for military service because of a defective eye, but he managed to enter World War I as an ambulance driver for the American Red Cross. On July 8, 1918, not yet 19 years old, he was injured on the Austro-Italian front at Fossalta di Piave. Decorated for heroism and hospitalized in Milan, he fell in love with a Red Cross nurse, Agnes von Kurowsky, who declined to marry him. His wartime experiences formed the basis for his novel “A Farewell to Arms (1929)”.

          After recuperating at home, Hemingway renewed his efforts at writing, for a while worked at odd jobs in Chicago, and sailed for France as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star. In 1921, Hemingway married Hadley Richardson, the first of four wives. They moved to Paris where he worked as a foreign correspondent and fell under the influence of the modernist writers and artists of the 1920s' "Lost Generation" expatriate community.

         In 1925 his first important book, a collection of stories called “In Our Time”, was published in New York City; it was originally released in Paris in 1924. His debut novel “The Sun Also Rises” was published in 1926, a novel with which he scored his first solid success. A pessimistic but sparkling book, it deals with a group of aimless expatriates in France and Spain—members of the postwar Lost Generation, a phrase that Hemingway scorned while making it famous. This work also introduced him to the limelight, which he both craved and resented for the rest of his life. He divorced Richardson in 1927 and married Pauline Pfeiffer; they divorced after he returned from the Spanish Civil War, where he had been a journalist. He based “For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940)” on his experience there. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940; they separated after he met Mary Welsh in London during World War II. He was present with the troops as a journalist at the Normandy landings and the liberation of Paris.

         Hemingway maintained permanent residences in Key West, Florida (in the 1930s), and Cuba (in the 1940s and 1950s). He almost died in 1954 after plane crashes on successive days; injuries left him in pain and ill health for much of the rest of his life. In 1959, he bought a house in Ketchum, Idaho, where, in early on the morning of July 2, 1961, Hemingway committed suicide in his Ketchum home.

         Hemingway left behind an impressive body of work and an iconic style that still influences writers today. His personality and constant pursuit of adventure loomed almost as large as his creative talent. His economical and understated style, which he termed the, had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his adventurous lifestyle and his public image brought him admiration from later generations.
