Ernest Hemingway: The Turning Point

This study endeavours to trace out some of the missing dimensions of Ernest Hemingway’s writings, and the search brings this author to Spain, not the usual Hemingway’s Spain of Corrida de toros (bullfighting), but the Spain in flames, during its terrible Civil War. What Hemingway’s protagonists were striving to realize all their lives come true in the smoke and fire of the Spanish Civil War. Hereafter Hemingway was a different personality, a different artist with a strikingly different artist with a strikingly different approach to life and situations that was visible on the thematic as well as stylistic level of his latter/post Spanish Civil War writings. This book spans the entire stretch of hemingway’s writings, and highlights the transformation in the process.
