Islands in the Stream by Ernest Hemingway is a masterful posthumous novel that captures the soul of the sea, the bonds of family, and the joys?and sorrows?of a life lived with quiet intensity. Set in the 1940s, the story follows Thomas Hudson, an artist and islander whose life unfolds across three distinct periods: "Bimini," "Cuba," and "At Sea," as he navigates loss, purpose, and the pull of the ocean. This copy is a 1970 first edition hardcover, complete with its original dust jacket. The early print presentation reflects the dignified simplicity and power of Hemingway?s prose. A true collector?s volume, it offers historical and literary significance as an authentic artifact from Hemingway?s posthumous legacy. Pre-Owned. See photos for condition. Ships via USPS Media Mail.
