Über diesen Titel

 First published in 1970, nine years after Hemingway's death, this is the story of an artist and adventurer, a man much like Hemingway himself. Beginning in the 1930s, Islands in the Stream follows the fortunes of Thomas Hudson, from his experiences as a painter on the Gulf Stream island of Bimini through his antisubmarine activities off the coast of Cuba during World War II. Hemingway is at his mature best in this beguiling tale.

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer in the 20th century, and for his efforts he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. Hemingway wrote in short, declarative sentences and was known for his tough, terse prose. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Ernest Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the 20th century.

As part of the expatriate community in 1920s Paris, the former journalist and World War I ambulance driver began a career that lead to international fame. Hemingway was an aficionado of bullfighting and big-game hunting, and his main protagonists were always men and women of courage and conviction who suffered unseen scars, both physical and emotional. He covered the Spanish Civil War, portraying it in fiction in his brilliant novel For Whom the Bell Tolls, and he subsequently covered World War II. His classic novella The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. He died in 1961.

Three completely different yet compelling parts of the story . The narrator very skillfully performs the characters with different voices and accents . For me as a non native speaker sometimes difficult to understand ... but it gives a very realistic flavor to the story .

One of the great works of Hemingway

I keep returning to this audiobook, almost like playing fave records.

The story is great, a bit of Hemingway, hard to beat when right . The way it's read for you in this production is divine. These dialects in the dialogues, the coolness of Thomas Hudson's voice ... such a fantastic listen. Bruce Greenwood's performance is Oscar-worthy without ever being 'loud'.

Shame I couldn't find more audiobooks by Bruce Greenwood.

The ambience, dry humour and tragedy create magic in some scenes - storytelling at its most imaginative and touching.

so good it's almost like a record
