VHS, A&E

He has been called the most influential writer since Shakespeare. But his fame came as much from his well-publicized personal life as from his celebrated works. Drawing heavily from his own experience, Ernest Hemingway chronicled war, loss and redemption with a vesceral style that spawned legions of imitators. From Italy to Idaho, Biography visits the landmarks of his life for an intimate look at the man behind the legend. Share the memories of those who knew him best, including his sons, his editor, his best friend, and more. And hear his own words, taken from letters, novels and unpublished stories. Narrated by his granddaughter Mariel Hemingway, this wide-ranging profile goes far beyond the oft-told tales of Ernest Hemingway to present an illuminating portrait of the author known as "Papa.".
