A. E. Hotchner Bücher

St. Louis inmitten der Weltwirtschaftskrise. Der zwölfjährige Aaron Broom muss mit ansehen, wie nach einem Überfall auf ein Juweliergeschäft sein Vater in Handschellen abgeführt wird. Dabei wollte sein Pop, ein Uhrenvertreter, dort doch bloß seine neueste Kollektion vorführen! Aus seinen Lieblingsbüchern weiß Aaron genau, dass er den wahren Täter nun auf eigene Faust "detektivieren" muss, wenn er will, dass sein Pop wieder freikommt. Von unverhoffter Seite bekommt er Hilfe: von Ex-Boxer und Hauswart Vernon, von Augie, dem Zeitungsjungen an der Ecke, von einem freundlich gesinnten Anwalt für Seerecht - aber er hat auch gefährliche Widersacher. Eine spannende Abenteuergeschichte, wie von Mark Twain erfunden, nimmt ihren Lauf ..

Between 1948 and 1961, Ernest Hemingway and A. E. Hotchner traveled together from New York to Paris to Spain, fished the waters off Cuba, hunted in Idaho, ran with the bulls in Pamplona—and once Hotchner even masqueraded as a matador and Hemingway's manager in an actual bullfight. Everywhere they went, they talked. For fourteen years, Hotchner and Hemingway shared their thoughts and as Hemingway reminisced about his childhood, recalled the Paris literary scene of the twenties, and recounted the real events that lay behind his fiction, Hotchner took it all down. His notes on the many occasions he spent with his friend Papa—in Venice and Rome, in Key West, on the Riviera, and in Ketchum, Idaho, where Hemingway died by his own hand in 1961—provide the material for this utterly profound, and truthfully compassionate best-selling memoir about the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. With a new introduction by the author and with never before published photographs from his personal collection, Papa Hemingway is a mesmerizing portrait.
