A loving homage to one of America's greatest writers.July 2, 2011, marks the 50th anniversary of the tragic death of Ernest Hemingway.

What influenced Hemingway's writing? Who were the important figures in his life? Why was he compelled to write? Was he as confident as he presented himself to be?Hemingway: A Life in Pictures surveys the touchstones of a celebrated life to reveal the character, dreams and disappointments of one of America's greatest writers.
