“A true gift for Hemingway aficionados! With previously unpublished work by Hemingway, memories of the writer by those who knew him, and essays by an outstanding international team of scholars, this collection deepens our understanding of Hemingway’s relationship to a country that he loved and that was central to his fiction.”—Carl P. Eby, author of Hemingway’s Fetishism: Psychoanalysis and the Mirror of Manhood “These extremely powerful essays bring a richer and more cosmopolitan understanding of the Italian underpinnings of Hemingway’s writing.”—Linda Patterson Miller, editor of Letters from the Lost Generation: Gerald and Sara Murphy and Friends “A useful experience for readers. Its blending of biography and textual study is perfect.”—Linda Wagner-Martin, editor of Hemingway: Eight Decades of Criticism From his World War I service in Italy through his transformational return visits during the decades that followed, Ernest Hemingway’s Italian experiences were fundamental to his artistic development. Hemingway and Italy offers essays from top scholars, exciting new voices, and people who knew Hemingway during his Italian days, examining how his adopted homeland shaped his writing and his legacy. The collection addresses Hemingway’s many Italys—the terrain and people he encountered during his life and the country he transposed into his fiction. Contributors analyze Hemingway’s Italian works, including A Farewell to Arms, Across the River and into the Trees,lesser-known short stories, fables, and even a previously unpublished Hemingway sketch, “Torcello Piece.” The essays provide fresh insights on Hemingway’s Italian life, career, and imagination.

"On the other side of the bush, just out of view, there came the unmistakable sound of some giant creature dragging itself out of the water. It flapped, and splashed and gurgled with a terrible strangled choke, before slithering heavily and noisily into the woods behind. Then there was silence." Secret pools are secret for a reason. Peter had been searching for his for as long as he could remember. But something was waiting for him beneath that dark water, something that should never be found. Peter's account was submitted to me in my capacity as editor of the Chapelkill Press. It was with an all too familiar dread that I read of his night's fishing on Rooksnest Millpond. Though I am loathe to face the consequences of my conclusion, it would seem that things are happening again.

After the loss of a child along with a slew of agonizing misfortunes, Nick and Jess decide to end their lives. But nothing could prepare him for the nightmares he found...nothing could prepare him for The Black Farm.

This richly illustrated book offers a fresh perspective on linear earthworks, perhaps the most enigmatic and neglected of all of Ireland's prehistoric field monuments.Focusing on one of the best-preserved and largest examples of the monument type in Europe, the renowned Black Pig's Dyke in County Monaghan -- named from a folk-tale that describes how the earthworks were torn into the landscape by the angry marauding of a giant mythical schoolteacher-turned-pig -- the authors integrate the results of excavations undertaken by Aidan Walsh in 1982 with new surveys and scientific dating to present a radical reassessment of the chronological and physical development of the monument and its environmental and archaeological setting.
