Overview

Walk through the Streets of Paris with Ernest Hemingway In gorgeous black and white images, Hemingway's Paris depicts a story of remarkable passion-for a city, a woman, and a time. No other city in any of his travels was as significant, professionally or emotionally, as was Paris. And it remains there, all of the complexity, beauty, and intrigue that Hemingway described in the pages of so much of his work.
