A Moveable Feast is not just about Hemingway learning to perfect his style of writing & living the Bohemian life - it is a love story about his first wife, Hadley.
He was married four times and had many affairs, but his "book of sketches" is saturated with sketches of Hadley and the things that they did together.
In this 1922 photo they are in Chamby, Switzerland, a favorite spot for them in the winter.
A photo of Hadley from an older post
Nice photo! I don't think it's from Paris (too much snow!), maybe from one of their trips...Where did the used to vacation? Switzerland?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I like the fact that he treated her like a partner in life.
I added an update to my post today, in case you are unfamiliar with a caged lanai.
Hello Isabella, I'll have to track down some information on this photo. I think it is a US shot - probably Michigan just before they left for Paris in 1921.
ReplyDeleteIf not it is an early shot in Europe; in Switzerland or Austria.
Did Hemingway remarry because Hadley died or because they divorced? I mean, if he was going around having affairs behind her back, that (to me) doesn't spell LOVE.
ReplyDeleteBuuuuuut that could be me. Or it could be more complicated. Or they could've broken it off for a different reason. Or something.
Or Hadingway and Hemley!!!
ReplyDeleteJust humor me Pauly...you KNOW I don't get out MUCH!!!
Sweet shot...screams LOVE to me!
;)
xo
I enlarged it and it's a really beautiful and tender photo. Very interesting as usual everything is concerning.
ReplyDeleteThe house in Key west had personal ouches of his third wife, Pauline all over the place .
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to meet his first here.....
Thanks Fabrizio, and Ame, and Josy for visiting
ReplyDeleteHello Moi,
ReplyDeleteYes the breakup with Hadley was pretty much the end of the Paris "adventure." The '30s brought Key West & a rocky relationship with Pauline.
WOW Pauly!
ReplyDeleteThat math equation of yours blew me away! TOO KEEEEEEEEEEWL!!!!
=)))
Hope the pill worked...it is for me!
YouDON'TWANNAKNOW!
LOL!
xo
A lovely picture... besides, Hadley is Mariel's middle name.
ReplyDeleteWow.....how sweet but four wives??? Amazing!! So what did they do Paul :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you'll get an 'angel';)
ReplyDelete--
it's great, i will like to check his 'book of sketches' one of these days...
by the way nice photo ;)
Mariel, Carlos? That's a port city in Cuba.........:)
ReplyDeleteWhat did they do, Shionge? You mean Hem & Hadley? She was his "buddy" besides being his wife - she understood (& tolerated)his many moods.
Thanks for the visit Jodee - ah yes, an angel...........
A port city in Cuba? Huuuu... but of course, that's what I was talking about. Did you think I was talking about Mariel Hemingway? I don't know what you were thing about. lol
ReplyDeleteCarlos, sorry about that :)
ReplyDeleteI've always found Hemingway fascinating. Thanks for the entertaining tidbits. Keep at it! ;p
ReplyDeleteI like their dress a lot:) It has a style
ReplyDeleteHi Zsolt, thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteI love Hemingway's and Hadley's relationship in AMF. Too bad it didn't last!
ReplyDeleteHello Kate, I agree, they are inseparable, I think.
