Hemingway: The Soldier

Courage and fortitude

Amidst many stories of tragedy and heroism, 1918’s Epic of Monte Grappa created an indelible link between a town, a fledgling pen factory and a future giant of literature. The most resolute edition of the Ernest Hemingway Collection recalls the young writer’s service on the Italian front, setting silver relief tributes to Bassano del Grappa against the gritty, sombre tones of bamboo black celluloid.
