The photographer of Hemingway’s Paris “captures all of Havana’s beauty the way Hemingway would have wanted . . . Through the sea, the land, and his work” (Idaho Statesman).

Ernest Hemingway lived in Cuba for more than two decades, longer than anywhere else. He found a sense of serenity and enrichment there that he couldn’t find elsewhere. With his wife Martha Gellhorn, he bought a home in Havana, named Finca Vigía, where he wrote his masterpiece, The Old Man and the Sea.

Now, through more than one hundred color photographs and accompanying text, Robert Wheeler takes us through the streets and near the water’s edge of Havana, and closer to the relationship Hemingway shared with the Cuban people, their landscape, their politics, and their culture. Wheeler has followed Hemingway’s path across continents—from Paris to Key West and Havana—seeking to capture through photography and the written word the essence of the great writer’s world.

In Hemingway’s Havana, Wheeler reveals the beauty and the allure of Cuba, an island nation whose deep connection with the sea fascinated and inspired the writer. The book includes a foreword by América Fuentes who is the granddaughter of the late Gregorio Fuentes, the captain of Hemingway’s boat Pilar and his close friend.
