For you Hemingway 'buffs', our (Silvio Calabi, Roger Sanger and me)second edition of Hemingway's Guns is available. The first edition was printed in 2010 and had 181 pages. The second edition has 284 pages and lots of new information. Of particular interest is our invitation to Cuba to curate Hemingway's remaining guns and sporting equipment at Finca Vigia.

Copies are available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.

Translated from the Spanish language which EMH loved- as he did Spain "Lookout Farm"" Any fotos of Papa with the now late Fidel Castro- they both shared a mutual love of deep sea fishing and baseball.. El Zorro

Me too- great book and research. Silvio is "Numero Uno" in his research and attention to detail as editor, and I enjoy his writing style as well. No other writer of fiction, whether novels, novellas, or short stories was in Hemingway's class, especially in his "prime years of production- 1926-1941--

Of all his novels, my favorite is "Islands In The Stream" and for short stories- I'm torn between the two he created while with Pauline in 1933 in Africa: "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber", and "The Snows of Kilamanjaro"--Te Salude, Don Ernesto!!

For sheer eloquence of the written word it's hard to beat his Nick Adams stories, IMO.

Agree- and "Indian Camp" shows how much apart in understanding the world Dr. Clarence Hemingway and his son Ernest were, in his formative years. Later on, his "Fathers and Sons" touched on that theme, and I think his father, Dr. Hemingway's suicide in 1928 haunted him for the rest of his life..

Did the 'commies happen to offer to return any of it to the Hemingway family?

Did you suggest that to them? This whole "warming" of relations with the Cubans doesn't seem to have included a "thaw" in the stolen property that has been locked up there for almost 60 years.

I'm not positive, but, had my local police discovered a home full of property that had been stolen from it's owners, and someone was caught "curating" the contents, they might get the same trip to jail the perps did.

Did you read about the time the Russian 'commies sent a pair of Purdeys that had been "liberated" from the Tzar's family during the revolution (said liberation being perhaps the least of that family's problems that day, but, I digress) to Purdeys for maintenance, and the folk at Purdeys refused to have anything to do with them, noting the guns appeared to have been "Stolen"?

Boy, that demonstrated character, no? We used to live in a world where people wouldn't have anything to do with stolen property. Some people appear to be able to look right past that now, for whatever reason.

It would further appear you have made at least a few sales off of this posting-are you going to slide the host the usual $10 for using his domain to hawk your book? Because it appears that you have added a detailed account of a massive theft to a book you wrote, and, then stole from a guy who owns a website on the subject of some of the items that were stolen.

Appears, anyway. Do correct me if I am wrong.


Best,
Ted
