Thank you so much for this video. This is a nice concise summary of The Sun
Also Rises, and is just the boost I needed to start writing a brief
presentation I have to complete on the book.
Paula McLain on Reviving Ernest Hemingway and The Paris Wife
No twentieth-century American writer has captured the popular imagination as much as Ernest Hemingway. This novel tells his story from a unique point of view ...
You found her voice....what a read! My life having; overlapped the tail end
of his era, been an avid admirer of his works, read all of his bios: it's
uncanny how your creation captured the essence of the times,
principals...giving them life in a way that captures all and in a style
reminiscent of Hemingway. Wow!
Esse livro é mesmo incrível, um dos meus preferidos da vida!
Adorei a capa da sua edição! A minha é mais antiga, mas tem as mesmas fotos
dentro também. :)
Beijos!
+Loren-Louise Realmente, o Livro é maravilhoso, independentemente da edição!Quanto as fotos do livro, elas são lindas e eu recentemente comprei um poster do Hemingway e da Sylvia Beach,em frente a Shakespeare and Company, masndei enquadrar e estou procurando um lugar para pendurar. hehe
Review Week: The Garden of Eden by Ernest Hemingway
Thanks for watching! Links below. Quotes from The Garden of Eden: //climbthestacks.com/tagged/The-Garden-of-Eden Quote Blog: ...
I've only read The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway. After about 10 pages I
was like "OH MY GOD, just let the stupid fish GO!" Considering giving him
another try though :)
+iateacattoo You're right, there wasn't much plotwise in The Old Man and the Sea, but it addresses the issue of pride and it makes a lot of sense on the psychological level. I think it's brilliant!
hahaha, I had something of a similar reaction to TOM&TS. 'The Sun Also Rises' or 'Movable Feast' are better starting places to be sure. I find Hemingway takes a certain... mindset to get through. His sparse style and very 'matter of factness' feels strange to read sometimes and can be a bit off-putting. I did come back afterwards to attempt TOM&TS again, and did end up enjoying it. But I definitely approached it differently after reading his other works.He's worth at least one more try, imo!
+climbthestacks Any time, hey i forgot to tell you on twt you should totally do a Infinite Jest read along,i've also been on the fence about reading it.Have a gorgeous day.
Ernest Hemingway -- The Old Man and the Sea: Book Review
The Old Man and the Sea is a classic that most of us had to read in high school, or maybe college. Santiago, the old man, takes a voyage far out into the sea in ...
Awesome review even though I put down "The Old Man and the Sea" after I got
about a quarter of the way through. I do have a question for you Mr.
Goranites, do you think a person putting down a book after getting halfway
through it means the book won't be very popular or sell any copies at all,
especially for up and coming writers? Do you only review books, or do you
write also?
+Dean Goranites Well you may be right on that. Sound and video people tend to like more these days. So start something and find out then. Always best to go with a gut feeling when feeling strongly enough, doesn't hurt to take risks once in a while if the only thing hurt is an ego...just my two centsp.s. writing frees the soul, you should try it more
I am writing, a little. It's on and off. I never feel fully committed though, you know? Never seems important enough. I'm just not sure how many people read blogs anymore. I feel like they want it all audio or video.
+Dean Goranites What would I like to see? Hmmm...Well I do enjoy watching the reviews a lot. Maybe even more youtube reviews on the classics ...that would be kind of cool I guess...there have been so many written it would take you a lifetime...haha...no man... seriously a blog would be kind of cool where you share your reading and writing experiences with readers...except you don't write...but I thought I read somewhere where it said you enjoy writing and are in the process of writing a novel...but blog would be cool
+Chen Okafor There currently is no blog, but I'm in the process of beginning to scale this channel outward. While I have your attention, what would you like to see? Written stuff like a blog? Or what about a podcast? Be honest with yourself/me, as I'm trying to figure out what the next best move would be.
+Chen Okafor I'm 26. I don't write much, because I feel like I don't have anything to say worth dying for. And if it's not worth dying for, why write it? I've tried writing fun stories, but it doesn't seem for me. At least not yet. Who knows. I'll figure it out.
+Dean Goranites Cool man. Is there a blog or anywhere I can follow you at? I love watching your videos...not tumblr though. What kind of stuff do you write man and what do you hope to do with your writing...? I gather you're still young if I'm not mistaken...
I don't think you can judge how a book will sell by whether or not one person puts it down after reading half of it. It's just not a large enough sample size. I write, but only on the side. I've never been published or anything like that.
I think 'The Snows of Kilimanjaro' is about how luxuries and comfort zones
are dangerous to creative minds. His whole life, Harry kept falling into
the trap of the easy self-indulgent and opulent lifestyle through wealthy
women, drinks, laziness, and the infamous "I'll just do it tomorrow". Only
realizing on his deathbed that he wasted his talent of writing. But then,
when he died, he had a vision of flying to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro
(literally "The House of God"). Does his journey symbolize Harry’s
acceptance of his punishment and willing passage into the afterlife, or
does it stand for Harry’s redemption as a character and continuing desire
to rise above his past mistakes, even at the moment of his death? What does
Kilimanjaro stand for? That's the beauty of literature.
I can totally see your point of view on how Hemingway treats women in his
stories. He also shoots and kills innocent animals.
Very much agree with you on his portrayal of women. I remember reading The
Sun Also Rises (which I really enjoyed) after reading The Paris Wife - a
fictitious account of Hadley Richardson's marriage to Hemingway - and in a
part of the Paris wife a character asks Richardson if she is upset
Hemingway didn't portray her in The Sun Also Rises. It got me thinking, he
actually does portray her, in his protagonists impotence, and it made me
angry that his female characters are either depicted as two-dimensional,
one of the boys or something like impotence. They don't have a voice; he
used the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope before the trope was even named.
Ranty tangent from me aside, I want to read more Hemingway, his previously
mentioned failings aside, he does write beautifully.
Merry Christmas!
I am a big Hemingway fan and his short stories are the best thing he's
written. I have the Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway and I even
taught some of his short stories when I taught. I taught "A Clean
Well-Lighted Place" and there's some great metaphors of light and dark that
reflect huge themes in Hemingway's own life, especially with his depression.
Homeboy wasn't good with women. Part of how he wrote Catherine in "A
Farewell to Arms" was a direct result of a nurse who burned him in WWI so
it was kind of a revenge piece. Still, I love his anti-heroes and themes of
courage under fire. I just love that stuff.
I absolutely love Hemingway, but I completely agree with everything you
have said. I do think, though, that a lot of how he writes about women is
reflective of his own personal relationships that he had with women in his
own life. I'm one of those readers that never completely separates the
writer from the writing, so I always see those connections (whether they
are really there or not). Is "Hills Like White Elephants" in this
collection? I can't remember off the top of my head, but that is one of his
stories that has always stuck out to me in regard to his treatment of women
in his writing.
He is a master, but yes, he is a very "male" and "macho" writer. However,
bare in mind that a writer is not necessarely a role model for anyone (as a
person or author). If you get over it, I think you will enjoy it more. My
favorite book of his is "Islands in the Stream". I don´t know why it is not
more recognized. Beatiful story about life, love, death, growing old and
much more, and so vividly written. I suggest you take a look onto it. The
second one in my ranking is For whom the Bell tolls. Very nice video. I
like your reviewing style, just subbed. Cheers and happy new year.
This was one of his better short stories. I noticed many of his lengthier
short stories involved a couple on a trip. The man or woman always had a
deep-rooted dislike for the other. Liquor; there was always liquor. I've
had to take a break from his collection of short stories.
Reading The Paris Wife and seeing how he was in his own marriage I think
sheds a lot of light on how he writes about women. It's been hard for me to
enjoy anything written by him since reading TPW. I find it difficult to
separate the person from the author.
Obviously, this young lady does not understand the soul of a writer. Stop
taking everything so personal.
I watched the movie and I loved it. It's about love, life tragedies and
regret. And at the end....hope.
Moveable is an ok read for dull veganism. Women will never get Hemingway
because of the RP/MGTOW truth. A beta orbiter or a Lumber Sexual - wimpy
distatefulness n saddening.
Hemigway was a masogonyst. And a man of his times. You have to see that in
your opinions. Women in those times had very little career roads and life
choices ,
Thanks for the review. Good thought out review and you have a very pleasant
personality. I'm thinking of reading "The Old Man and the Sea". Very funny
bit in the film "Silver linings Playbook" where the lead character throws
his copy of a Farewell to arms out the window, the ending annyed him,
great film if you get the chance to see it to. Thanks also for the special
effects in your video, the wet hair looked great and wasn't that sun blast
amazing :-)

+Dean Goranites The interplay between Lady Ashley and Jake Barnes was heart-wrenching. Barnes is clearly in love with her, but due to his injury, she shuns him as a non-sexual entity. Furthermore, the portion of the novel where some of the characters are fishing is pure beauty.
