Ernest miller hemingway - cuba, venice and his last days





Mary Welsh Mary Welsh was born in 1908 in Minnesota. She studied journalism at the "Northwestern University", but stopped her education to work for "The American Florist". Later she got a job for "Daily Express". During World War II Mary worked for "Time-magazine". She married Ernest Hemingway in 1946. Both were passionate hunters, skiers and fishers and spent days on the "Pilar". She was able to drink as much as he did, still their lives were neither quiet nor peaceful. They often quarrelled, he had some other girlfriends, but they never divorced.

Venice

In 1948 the couple spent their winter in Venice instead of Cortina. They lived in the noble hotel "Gritti Palace" and visited Venice's society. That is where Ernest got to know Adriana Ivancich. She was 18 years old and quite pretty. They dated almost every day in Venice. In the book "Across the river and into the trees" he uses her character for the main person.
The Hemingways never went to Venice in the summer, because Ernest didn't like the stones of Venice in the hot sun.
In 1953 he came to Venice again after a plane accident. In Africa his plane had crashed into the earth and the rescue machine had also had an accident. Ernest was injured, but fortunately not seriously. In Venice, after a couple of days, he got dizzy and broke down in a fire. He received some burns and lost almost all his hair.



Across the river and into the trees

In this short book he describes the last three days in the life of Richard Cantwell, who is a fifty year old army colonel. He and his driver travel to Venice to hunt ducks and to meet the very young Renata. Richard spends two days in Venice and on the hunt's day he dies because of heart attack, but his driver doesn't notice.


The Nobel price

On October 28th, 1954 the Swedish academy decided to award the Nobel price to Ernest Hemingway because of his powerful and modern style and his idealism for male brave and principles. He didn't travel to Stockholm himself claiming to be wounded after a plain crash in Africa, but he wrote a speech to be read by the U.S ambassador John M. Cabot.


Ketchum
After the revolution in Cuba under Fidel Castro Hemingway looked for another place to live. The government in Cuba was against the United States. In 1959 they moved to Ketchum, which is situated close to Sun Valley. They bought a small house there. The countryside was beautiful around the house.
He got old, searched for quarrels and became mentally confused. He tried to commit suicide several times without success and was sent to a clinic, but even that didn't help. On July 2nd, 1961, two days after leaving the hospital, he shot himself.
