Ho deciso di riprovare a leggere "Guerra e Pace", che in passato ho iniziato un paio di volte arenandomi più o meno nello stesso punto. La #letteratura russa mi piace tantissimo, #poesia inclusa, ma quel librone mi aveva scoraggiato, lo ammetto. Quest'estate la #Russia è ritornata a gamba tesa nella mia vita e sento di avere bisogno della sua #narrativa. Le ho opposto resistenza prima con #Duras poi con #Hemingway. Ora, Lev, sono tutta tua.

Today in Labor History August 14, 1846: The authorities jailed Henry David Thoreau for refusing to pay his taxes in protest of the Mexican-American War. Aside from this early act of American civil disobedience and war resistance, Thoreau also wrote, “Walden.” His essay, “Civil Disobedience,” influenced generations of activists and writers, including Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Tolstoy, Yeats, Proust, Hemingway, Upton Sinclair and Martin Buber.

Ernest Hemingway held an abiding affection for central Idaho from his first visit to Sun Valley in 1939 until his death in his final home along the Big Wood River in 1961. The Community Library has a robust collection of artifacts and materials from Hemingway’s time in Idaho, and the Library is the custodian of his final home.

In autumn 1923, #Hemingway lived at The Selby Hotel while working at the Toronto Star newspaper.

From 1920 to early 1924, Hemingway had a four year association with Toronto. Some sources argue that his transition from newspaper to novel writing traces to his time in Toronto.

Today, The Selby Hotel lives on quietly on Sherbourne street.

Happy birthdays to Ernest Hemingway (b. 1899), Marshall McLuhan (b. 1911), & Gary Trudeau (b. 1948).

Only one of them wrote "The road to hell is paved with unbought stuffed dogs", but which one was it?

Today in Writing History July 21, 1899: Ernest Hemingway was born. Hemingway was a journalist, novelist and short story writer. He won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1954. Hemingway was famous for his “square, tight” prose, which was influenced by his experience as a journalist and as a soldier. He was an ambulance driver during World War I and he volunteered on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War. Of his stories, my two personal favorites are “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and “Old Man and the Sea.” I recently watched the documentary “Spanish Earth,” made in 1937, filmed during and about the Spanish Civil War. Hemingway narrated it, along with Orson Welles. He also cowrote the script, along with another favorite writer of mine, John Dos Passos.
