About This Item
Scribner (1986), First Edition ,Fourth Printing July,1986.Book and DJ Near Fine.
A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Hemingway worked on the manuscript for the next 15 years, during which time he also wrote The Old Man and the Sea, The Dangerous Summer, A Moveable Feast, and Islands in the Stream.
The novel is fundamentally the story of five months in the lives of David Bourne, an American writer, and his wife, Catherine. It is set mainly in the French Riviera, specifically in the Côte d'Azur, and in Spain. The story begins with their honeymoon in the Camargue. The Bournes soon meet a young woman named Marita, with whom they both fall in love, but only one can ultimately have her. David starts an affair with Marita, while his relationship with his wife deteriorates. The story continues until the apparent separation of David and Catherine.
Synopsis
Hemingway reveals a more tender side of his psyche with The Garden of Eden , which was published posthumously. David is a writer in the 1920's. He and his newly married wife, Catherine, spend their honeymoon in the Mediterranean. While they are there, they fall in love with a young woman, and begin to explore a deeper side of themselves. Can they navigate their own dark waters enough to hold a triad together?
