Ernest Hemingway’s tropical retreats offer a glimpse into his life

The famous American author’s home is a rich repository of his personality and a testament to parts of his life.

ERNEST Hemingway spent a lifetime cultivating a masculine image and personas. War correspondent, cigar lover, big-game hunter, deep-sea fisherman, boxer, liberal with liquor, minimalist with words – all done to maximum effect. Predictably, evidence of his adventures fills the writer’s two tropical homes in Key West and Havana. Hunting and fishing trophies stare down from the walls in nearly every room, as well as photos of his exploits and famous friends.
