{"product_id":"autumn-in-venice-ernest-hemingway-and-his-last-muse","title":"Autumn in Venice: Ernest Hemingway and His Last Muse","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the fall of 1948, Ernest Hemingway and his fourth wife traveled for the first time to Venice, which Hemingway called “absolutely god-damned wonderful.” A year shy of his fiftieth birthday, Hemingway hadn’t published a novel in nearly a decade when he met and fell in love with Adriana Ivancich, a striking Venetian girl just out of finishing school. Here Andrea di Robilant re-creates with sparkling clarity this surprising, years-long relationship, during which Adriana inspired a man thirty years her senior to complete his great final work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHemingway used Adriana as the model for Renata in Across the River and into the Trees, and continued to visit Venice to see her; when the Ivanciches traveled to Cuba, Adriana was there as he wrote The Old Man and the Sea. The illuminating story of writer and muse—which also examines the cost to a young woman of her association with a larger-than-life literary celebrity—Autumn in Venice is an intimate look at Hemingway’s final years., ISBN13:9781101946657 ISBN10:1101946652 Material Type:hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used Book Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46345199747235,"sku":"TN_STR_UBD_H000175D","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/71ujgtiXYiL.jpg?v=1760011539","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/autumn-in-venice-ernest-hemingway-and-his-last-muse","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
