Hemingway in Love and War: The Lost Diary of Agnes Von Kurowsky

Its just really a deep analyse of the dream in Ernest his life.I agree agree totally with Dr. Verheyen:Hemingway and (the false) Agnes in projection of real life!.Romance of oné site (Ernest Hemingway anyway).I am doctorating in psychology in beautiful Rome: Italy.I live back in New York City (after my doctorating?).

As a Dr. in Psychology, I can antherstand Hemingway and obvious Agnes. I suppose this romance was to beautiful to hold stand!. Anyway I antherstand 1961( Ernest did suicide WITH Agnes her letters next to him) AFTER 4 TRYING? to forget Agnes! MARRIAGE'S. This prover real eternity love exists, only both have to FORGIVE, and that's the hard way (I do know personnell). They were really made for each other, sad, so sad: stubborn Ernie and WHY?. Dr. Patrick Verheyen (U.S. Graduated ;-).

After seeing the movie "In Love and War" with Sandra Bullock and Chris O'Donnell, I was left wanting to learn more of the events of this tragic love story. The book clued me in to the actual events that led to the affair and the events that occured afterwards and the truth was actually more tragic than the movie had let on. I was once involved in a romance with a much younger man, he was 18 and I was 24, and there was so much passion but eventually the fantasy fades and reality sets in and sometimes you make decisions that at the time seem like the most sane but later on wonder "what if....?" This book is for anyone who has ever loved and lost. A must read for every romantic.

As soon as I saw " In Love and War" with Sandra Bullock, I immediately went and got the lost diaries of Agnes. I love the movie and the book very much because it gives insight about WW1 and the life and times of Hemingway. I really wanted to learn more about Agnes and Ernest after seeing the movie and reading the book! I was very intriged by their relationship. I only wish someone could've saved or found Ernie's letters to Agnes

Although this is being published as a tie-in to the movie, this 1991 volume has true scholarly merit. The 18-year-old Hemingway met and fell in live with nurse Agnes Von Kurosky in the Red Cross hospital in Milan while recuperating from wounds inflicted at the Italian front during World War I. Their alleged affair was the basis for his novel "A Farewell to Arms" in which she appeared as Catherine Barkeley. She eventually jilted him, and he later killed her in his novel. Included here are sections from her private diary from the time that Hemingway was her patient as well as her letters to him. A remembrance by fellow patient Henry Villard and an essay by Hemingway scholar James Nagel add to the proceedings. This volume offers fascinating firsthand information on one of the most important events in Hemingway's life. --Michael Roger
