Also includes a as new condition vintage July 12-21, 1996 Hemingway Days Festival, Key West, Florida pamphlet. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "H. Lea Lawrence hereby invites you to join him on a fascinating pilgrimage to Ernest Hemingway's favorite fishing haunts. Spiced with new anecdotes and interviews gleaned from the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean, Prowling Papa's Waters sheds a fresh and welcome light on America's best known writer. This unique chronicle of Hemingway at his favorite pastime is sure to delight Hemingway buffs, anglers, and all armchair travelers. Beginning with Hemingway's initiation into the outdoors at his family's cabin on Lake Walloon in upper Michigan, Lawrence's odyssey recreates Hemingway's angling exploits in Europe, Key West, Cuba and the Caribbean, and the American West. Forty five photographs put readers in touch with Hemingway waters great and small, from rushing trout streams to the majestic Gulf Stream. The Hemingway of legend is in fine form here, doing battle with the giant billfish of the Caribbean, but Lawrence's narrative is by no means limited to what Hemingway caught and where. Essential to the story are the people he gathered about him (John Dos Passos, Maxwell Perkins, and the rest of "the Mob"), the work he was engaged in at the time, and, of course, the succession of women in his life. Hemingway insisted that any good story has to include three elements: the time, the place, and how the weather was. Prowling Papa's Waters offers all three - and much more." - from the inner front jacket flap. Clayton, Al (jacket photograph); Dible, Jill (jacket design) (illustratore). …

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. As new condition blue boards with gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Introduction; Acknowledgments; Contributors; Editorial Board; Notes and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Signed and inscribed by the co-editor, Gary S.Hauk, with blue pen on the second title page. "This book celebrates men and women whose spirit of inquiry - their sense of curiosity and ways of thinking - nudged them down paths that tested their mettle. Most passed the test. Sometimes risking social disfavor or finding themselves at odds with academic convention, occasionally doing nothing more than inhabiting the scholar's lonely solitude, most of the characters who fill these pages also filled their lives and those of their friends and colleagues with a quiet courage that shaped their world for the better. Their courage also made a better Emory. Institutions. like individuals, do not always manifest the ancient virtues of fortitude, moderation, justice, and wisdom, as the latest news reports confirm. Institutions draft charters, credos, mission statements, and mottos, just as individuals adopt philosophies and creeds. When institutions succeed in meeting those high standards, it is because of the men and women who live up to them. Emory University, now close to the end of its second century, has sought to square action with rhetoric and model the best aims of education. Whether establishing new programs or undermining long-held assumptions, moving to another city or pausing campus development to examine principles, the institution has asked difficult questions. Emory has endured because of the virtue and stamina of individual men and women who knew where this courageous inquiry should lead. The forty-four chapters in this book tell story after story of an academic community striving to exercise the courage of its ideals and its questions." - from the inner front jacket flap.
