Résumé
He was one of the first mercenaries-adventurers-writers in the twentieth century. He ushered in the century of the visual arts and show business. He relentlessly promoted his own legend. Sixty years ago, on July 2nd 1961, Ernest Hemingway shot himself in the head, deprived as he was of the only thing he truly valued: writing. The key events of a life "constructed" like a Hollywood screenplay provide a story line meant to gradually disclose the reason why a 1954 Nobel Prize winner who proclaimed himself "the greatest writer of his time" finally decided to bow out at the age of sixty one.This investigation, exploring the "mechanics" and the psyche of an idol with feet of clay, is based on biographical information as well as testimonies and documents. It should be of interest to aficionados of the writer as well as to readers keen to immerse themselves in the hectic life of a fascinating creative "ogre".
