National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist
A brilliantly conceived and illuminating reconsideration of a key period in the life of Ernest Hemingway that will forever change the way he is perceivedand understood.
Focusing on the years 1934 to 1961--from Hemingway's pinnacle as the reigning monarch of American letters until his suicide--Paul Hendrickson traces the writer's exultations and despair around the one constant in his life during this time: his beloved boat, Pilar. Drawing on previously unpublished material, including interviews with Hemingway's sons, Hendrickson shows that for all the writer's boorishness, depression and alcoholism, and despite his choleric anger, he was capable of remarkable generosity--to struggling writers, to lost souls, to the dying son of a friend. Hemingway's Boat is both stunningly original and deeply gripping, an invaluable contribution to our understanding of this great American writer, published fifty years after his death.

Perfect first shark book for littles
Format: Paperback
The book is super easy to read to my 4 year old son! He’s been really into sharks so I wanted something that was overpowered by facts on each page. This one is perfect! Each page has a different shark and the page do not have lengthy text but enough to still be educational. Keeps his attention and he’s able to learn a little bit about each shark. Perfect first shark book!

Great pictures and good information
Format: Paperback
Wonderful pictures allow my 3 yr old grandson to not only learn about many sharks , but good information as well. He can name the sharks , memorizing them perhaps, but yet has learned the distinct features of many from this book.

Surprisingly awesome
Format: Paperback
This book is awesome. I was pleasantly surprised at the detailed information inside considering its price.
My kids are 2 and 5 and love looking at the pictures while I read the information to them. It’s not so overboard that my it’s over my 5 year old’s head but detailed enough to supply him with new knowledge.
This is perfect to go along with our household shark obsession.
