The first volume of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway encompasses his youth, his experience in World War I, and his arrival in Paris. The letters reveal a more complex person than Hemingway's tough-guy public persona would suggest: devoted son, affectionate brother, infatuated lover, adoring husband, spirited friend, and disciplined writer. "[Hemingway] is not only one of the most important twentieth-century writers, but a fascinating and frank letter writer. This collection will be an invaluable addition to the world of letters" (Noel Riley Fitch).
