[Do not hide it privately]
Hemingway had four wives and everyone knows it.
Hemingway, who is talented and tall and strong, is the god in the hearts of young women in literature. The god of the broken circle.
He has received awards: The Silver Medal of Bravery during World War I; Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize for Literature for The Old Man and the Sea; And the Sun Still Rises and Farewell, Arms, hailed as "the 100 best English novels of the 20th century."
Others that we are familiar with, such as "For Whom the Death Knell Tolls" and "Kilimanjaro's Snow", are also shining.
The world is familiar with Hemingway's classic aged model
Literary young women or hemingway fresh meat that will be coveted
But most people don't know that these works are interspersed with his entanglement with his four wives and some lovers. And they are either his inspiration or the object of his work.
At the end of the year I saw my sister reading a book, "I Can't Just Look Up at You." The perspectives she appreciates and the perspectives she cites identity are intuitive and unique:
Such comments tend to be appealing. So I came to this book in a second.
I didn't expect to approach Hemingway by reading Hemingway's words such as "The Old Man and the Sea" and "For Whom the Death Knell Tolls", but also through one woman and through another woman.
Ha, that sounds like a lot of winding. Right?
I Can't Just Look Up at You is a non-autobiographical biography of a celebrity written in the first person by Paula McLean, in the first person by Hemingway's third wife, Martha Gaylehorn.
Martha Gaylehorn was one of the most important and prestigious war correspondents of the 20th century, covering almost every major international conflict — from the Spanish Civil War to the Bay of Pigs, from Vietnam to El Salvador to the U.S. invasion of Panama.
Her work also includes 5 novellas, 14 novellas, 2 story collections, and 3 volumes of essays. She won the O.Henry Short Story Award, and her War and Truth has been hailed as a classic by many war correspondents.
Gailhorn and Hemingway fell in love with covering the Spanish Civil War. It was 1937 and 1938. Hemingway was a reporter for the North American Newspaper Alliance, and GayleHorn was a reporter for Corrier Weekly. At the time, Hemingway was in a second marriage.
Gailhorn is very good-looking. Hemingway was attracted to Gellhorn because she was "the bravest woman I've ever met."
In 1939, when the two were living together in Hava, Cuba, Hemingway wrote For Whom the Death Knell Sounded. The following year, Hemingway finally ended his marriage to Pauline Pfeiffer, the second wife who had squeezed out his first wife. Married Martha Gelhorn, who was nine years younger than him of German-Jewish descent.
On his honeymoon, Gail horn pulled Hemingway to China.
What a strong woman in the workplace. Honeymoon is also the first work. But her report still seems valuable today.
In 2012, HBO made a movie called Hemingway and Gailhorn, which basically and truthfully described the process of love and killing between the two people. What is valuable is that it contains the content of China's War of Resistance Against Japan. Cliff Owen and Nicole Kidman starred in the hero and heroine, and it can be seen that both superstars have made a lot of effort.
Watching a pair of children's deep affection will always envy others. But falling in love is easier said than done. When the initial passion burned, the feathers flew up.
Hemingway's third period of discordant marriage is mainly manifested in three aspects:
One is character. Gailhorn is "tough steel" and Hemingway is "flintstone". Gailhorn was tough and independent, and often left Hemingway at home for interviews. This greatly displeased Hemingway, who had always been spoiled by women. Gathering at home, drinking heavily, he telegraphed Torhorn: "Are you a war correspondent or my wife in bed?" ”
The second is living habits. How to describe Hemingway's speech and demeanor, you can say that he is a majestic sill, you can also say that he is rude. The room is always dirty and messy, and there are a lot of male cats. All of this makes Gailhorn never get used to it, to turn a blind eye, to intolerable. In the end, Gelhorn took advantage of Hemingway's lack of preparation and castrated the cats. That was enough to drive Hemingway crazy.
The third is occupational conflict. Both men are talented, both have achievements, and both have strong personalities. Conflicts continue. The peak of the conflict was that Hemingway, in order to combat Gailhorn's arrogance, offered to provide war coverage to The Coryl Weekly, where Gaylehorn worked, before the Normandy landings. This squeezed out Gaylehorn's chance to go to the front. Although Gelhorn managed to become the first journalist to cover the Normandy landings, he took revenge in the professional field.
The result of the upper and lower fists is the irreversible deterioration of the relationship between the two people. In 1945, Gailhorn filed for divorce on the grounds that the other party had cheated.
Gailhorn became the only woman to abandon Hemingway instead of Hemingway.
Hemingway remained with the fourth Mary until he shot himself in 1961.
Gelhorn lived until 1998, killing himself by taking sleeping pills. It was 37 years since Hemingway committed suicide.
In the days of his life, Gelhorn never mentioned Hemingway. In her autobiography, My Journey with Another Man, she said: "My life is not anyone's footnote. "It still reflects independence and toughness.
But maybe she didn't let go, maybe she also regretted: why two bodies and souls that seemed so matched were incompatible in reality.
Paula McLean, the author of the book "I Can't Always Look Up at You," is also a cow. Her creative feature has always been a combination of fact and fiction. And completely obsessed with and immersed in depicting the outstanding women of history. This time, she was writing for Hemingway's third wife, Martha Gailhorn. Previously, she had written about Hemingway's Knotted Hair Hadley, I Am Hemingway's Parisian Wife.
It must be said that as a biographer, Paula McLean's writing is too good. Take "I Can't Just Look Up at You" as an example, because she uses a first-person narrative that confuses me at the beginning. I thought it was Martha's oral transcript. The explanation really recognized this is Martha Gelhorn's perspective, her psychology, her feelings, her eyes hemingway. To be able to portray Gelhorn and Hemingway's love affair so delicately and realistically, Paula McLean's skill is really speechless.
Paula McLean herself revealed the process of creating the biography and her relationship with her characters. The words are sincere and honest.
The message of a good article is by no means thin and flat, it is three-dimensional, clustered. If we can receive these contents from it and dig out richer meanings, it can also be said that what we see is the pearl of words. See below.
"My work has always been a combination of fact and fiction. Over the past decade, having been completely immersed in depicting the great women of history, I believe that intuition will lead me to a certain life that inspires me, or that completely makes me addicted. I then embarked on the difficult but also fun task of sifting through documented historical facts and finding a story in a vast narrative that I wanted to tell and needed to tell. That' also completely intuitive. I followed my heart, believed in my imagination, jumped on the boat, and we set off.
"But I knew that without concrete and basic material to lay the groundwork for my research, I wouldn't have been able to get to that dreamy and emotional place in my creation." For this I thank many excellent writers and biographers. ”
"It was a pleasure to read Gailhorn's creations. Yes, there are also revelations, especially the "People's Hardships". I also unearthed a wonderful script that really did a great job in portraying the lives of female war correspondents. The script is also very hilarious, and the dialogue is also top notch!
"There are many texts that have helped me understand the extremely complex political landscape of the Spanish Civil War and what it meant to be on the ground and fully involved in the expedition at that time.
I've been reading and rereading Hemingway, constantly learning.
"It's important to say last thing, my Gellhorn isn't that Gellhorn — how could she be? That woman is a mystery, just like we are, to our friends, loved ones, and even to ourselves. ”
