::::: Description :::::
Islands in the Stream was meant to revive Hemingway's reputation after negative reviews of Across the River & into the Trees. He began writing it in '50, proceeding thru '51. The work, rough but seemingly finished, was found by Mary Hemingway from among 332 different works left behind after his suicide.
The novel was originally meant to encompass three stories to illustrate different stages in the life of its main character, Thomas Hudson. They were originally to be entitled “The Sea When Young”, “The Sea When Absent” & “The Sea in Being”. The titles were changed to "Bimini", "Cuba" & "At Sea".
The 1st act, “Bimini”, introduces Thomas Hudson, a classic stoic figure. He's a renowned American painter who finds tranquility on Bimini, a far cry from his usual adventurous lifestyle. A strict work routine is interrupted when his three sons arrive for the summer. Also introduced in this act is Roger Davis, an old friend. Tho similar to Hudson, Davis seems to act as a more dynamic & outgoing image of Hudson's character. The act ends with Hudson receiving news of the death of his two youngest children soon after they leave the island.
“Cuba” takes place soon thereafter during WWII. An older, more distant Hudson has received news of his oldest & last son's death in the war. This 2nd act introduces a introverted, cynical Hudson who spends his days on the island drinking heavily & doing naval reconnaissance for the US Army.
“At Sea” ends with Hudson's death in pursuit of a damaged ship off the Gulf Stream. He's intent on finding a boat of German soldiers after he finds they massacred a village while headed home. In this last act he begins to deal with his sons' deaths. The chapter is influenced by For Whom the Bell Tolls
::::: About AUTHOR :::::
Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American author and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short story collections and two non-fiction works. Three novels, four collections of short stories and three non-fiction works were published posthumously. Many of these are considered classics of American literature.
Hemingway was raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After high school he reported for a few months for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to enlist with the World War I ambulance drivers. In 1918, he was seriously wounded and returned home. His wartime experiences formed the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms. In 1922, he married Hadley Richardson, the first of his four wives. The couple moved to Paris, where he worked as a foreign correspondent, and fell under the influence of the modernist writers and artists of the 1920s "Lost Generation" expatriate community. The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway's first novel, was published in 1926.
After his 1927 divorce from Hadley Richardson, Hemingway married Pauline Pfeiffer. They divorced after he returned from Spanish Civil War where he had acted as a journalist, and after which he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940. They separated when he met Mary Welsh in London during World War II; during which he was present at the Normandy Landings and liberation of Paris.
Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea in 1952, Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in two plane crashes that left him in pain or ill-health for much of the rest of his life. Hemingway had permanent residences in Key West, Florida, and Cuba during the 1930s and 1940s, but in 1959 he moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he committed suicide in the summer of 1961.
