Críticas:

'The collected Hemingway letters will be enthusiastically welcomed by the scholarly world as well as the legion of Hemingway enthusiasts around the world. He is not only one of the most important twentieth-century writers in the world, but a fascinating and frank letter writer. This collection will be an invaluable addition to the world of letters.' Noel Riley Fitch

'And so begins the ambitious - and highly anticipated - publication of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, a vast collection that proves to be both a revealing autobiography and the passkey to his literary works. This first volume is a vibrant portrait of the artist as a young man, striking all the notes that will resonate as themes in the epic life and epochal literature that lie ahead.' A. Scott Berg

'This Cambridge edition of all of Hemingway's known letters is as elegant and proper a solution as one could wish to such a daunting challenge: how to make this treasure available to all interested scholars and readers for generations to come. I think that Papa Hemingway would be pleased.' Charles Scribner

'[Hemingway's] letters were never intended for publication, and they are surprising ... Behind the hard-living, hard-loving, tough-guy literary persona we find a loyal son pouring his heart out to his family, an infatuated lover, an adoring husband, and a highly committed friend.' Robert McCrum, The Guardian

'A work of monumental authority, shrewd and sympathetic, which will be indispensable for anyone delving into Hemingway's childhood affections, adolescent bravura, and the hope, enthusiasm and disgust of his early manhood.' The Spectator

'Magnificently edited ... [this volume] is a work of true literary scholarship ... what makes this first volume more than a mere collection of juvenilia is that here is all the evidence of the writer - and the man - that he was to become.' Literary Review

'By any measure it's a Very Big Deal.' The Scotsman

'This book combines the most serious scholarship with great readability - the perfect Christmas gift.' Standpoint

'The existence of some of these documents (pre-dating Hemingway's fame) is close to a miracle, and the Letters is without question a spectacular scholarly achievement.' The Scotsman

'Hemingway's letters burst off the page with all his swaggering vigour, brio, brilliance, wit and rage.' The Guardian
