Ernest Hemingway - The Early Years | Biographical Documentary
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Ernest Hemingway is almost as famous for his lifestyle as his writing. Mixing with a wealthy and glamorous set, he indulged his passions for hunting and fishing and was always throwing himself into something new.
He didn’t have an easy start in life with an overbearing father and distinctly odd mother and a heavy genetic loading for mental instability.
But he redefined the boundaries of fiction with his unique writing style and
challenging themes. From the cafes of Paris to the savannas of Africa, the life he lived was like the characters he created: full throttle, flawed, but always fascinating.
Part One of this biographical documentary explores the life of Ernest Hemingway, to uncover the man behind the myths - his bravery and vulnerability, his bullishness and sensitivity, his determination to be in control of his destiny and avoid the fate of his father…and his sad final year.
Finding Out More:
There are many biographies of Hemingway: the monumental five volume work by Michael Reynolds is the most detailed, but The Hemingway Women focusses on his relationships and A E Hotchner’s Papa Hemingway is a more personal memoir. I have added these to my Amazon store page:

Isn’t it wonderful to have a human narrator not a bloody AI robot !!!’
I agree!
Indubitably! I am beginning to really hate those AI narrators!
Those AI narrations often mispronounce words. Very annoying
Bloody right mate 👏 0:41
imagine hating on inevitable
Your lectures are always a pleasure to listen to! Thanks for all your hard work putting these together, it is much appreciated.
You're very welcome!
My sentiments exactly. This series of videos are incredibly awesome & amazing. I'm learning SO much!
The story of hemmingway is so steeped in intrigue and mystery…..like u said at the end, his life’s story is almost to extraordinary to be believed…cant wait to see part two….
Thanks, should be out next Friday!
This guy is a top notch narrator.
Thank you.
.
I could not agree more. A magnificent voice.
Absolutely.
Fascinating biography of Hemingway! Looking forward to Part 2.
Coming soon!
Narrator has a fabulous voice, so easy to listen and absorb, a rare tone.
Thank you.
GREAT VOICE !!!! So many videos ruined by terrible voices doing the reading !!!! 😫😖😖
I agree, what a pleasure for the ears. Great material, presentation style and visuals.
Thank you!
@@professorgraemeyorston I like the pacing - just right, not too fast. The narratives are well-focused/constructed with care.
@@ekaterinabankevitch8513yea these videos are professional quality and could be a tv show. Videos like these are exactly why youtube was created
Thank you for clarifying the business about his mother dressing him up as girl when he was an infant. I know from other biographies that that was pretty common back then. You have made clear that his real damages came from his genetics and the wear and tear his adventurous life gave him.
I think the whole dressing him up in dresses issue is overplayed.
My grandfather was of the same generation. Born in Mexico, raised in Texas. He was dressed in gowns, with long hair in pigtails, and wearing a beaded necklace. I think back then a baby was a baby. I think it’s unfortunate that these days everything in the baby stores is either pink or blue, and people are eager to dress baby boys in jeans and cut their hair. They have their entire lives to have short hair and demonstrate their masculinity. I like the baby stage, and waiting to cut their hair until they’re a couple of years old.
My brothers were born in the 50s in England and even then it was the usual thing to dress female AND male babies in gowns. We have family photos of each of the boys in frilly gowns as infants.I suggest that those on the left, the progressives, routinely judge the idiosyncracies of the past (cherry-picked to boot) to validate their modern day claims and assertions, especially about gender and sexuality. Wearing a dress does not make you female.
@@genxx2724I came from a country where doesn’t have a color code for babies. It’s a very strange concept for me to understand at first. Also I learned later on that elderly in the US does not value that much; whereas in our culture, elderly is respected greatly.
Professor Yorston, you have a beautiful way of illuminating complicated topics. When I was young, I was so appalled by Hemingway‘s crimes against large animals, I never even looked at his work, let alone his life. Except I came to admire his bequest to his cats. And, now that, over time, I have grown somewhat more capable of objectivity, I deeply appreciate having your guided introduction to Ernest Hemingway, the person. Thank you. Now to Part 2!
I felt the same way and didn't read many of Hemingway's works when I was younger.
Also, the hunters pay for the animal preserves.
@@TTFN55 But if the killing is only for sport and an outmoded version of masculinity to uphold, paying upfront for the pleasure of killing an innocent creature does not wash and is immoral and sickening.
@@aurelia5614 - Life isn't a Disney movie. None of your assumptions are correct.
@@TTFN55 Which 'assumptions' are you alluding to?
Fantastic ! Just fantastic ! Wonderful job Professor.
Thanks for watching.
Fascinating review of this smouldering volcano . He and his family were a case study of the role genetics can play in mental disorders . Looking forward to part two .
Thank you.
So true
Could never read Hemingway because of his cruelty to animals, but thankyou for the narration, brilliant as ever. .
Thanks for watching.
I agree . I hoped I'd become more sophisticated with age re the animals, but here I am older but still unable to get thru Death in the Afternoon.
Wonderful documentary, thank you! ❤
Thank you.
Once again Doctor thank you so much,what a beautiful piece of work. Factual and of course the English language spoken so well.
You are very welcome.
Fascinating story and BRILLIANT NARRATOR thank you Asante Sana
Wow, I don't get many Swahili comments. Karibu!
It is so incredible that John Steinbeck could have stolen Hemingway’s wife. John Steinbeck’s book of letter was shocking reading! My source of the information.
Thank you, Professor Graeme Yorston. Hemingway is one of my favorite writers. As a former adjunct lecturer, I often assigned many of his short stories to my classes. However, as a Kenyan and someone who believes in conservation, his reckless killings of our animals have always bothered me. Ditto Ted Roosevelt who also accumulated trophies of the animals he shot on Safari. No idea why some people enjoy destroying creatures and things that make this world more beautiful and to live in. William Holden was different. He was a Conservationist before it was fashionable to be one. As a result, many Kenyans liked and admired him immensely. As a child I never appreciated our wildlife and it amused me to see foreigners get fascinated by it. Today, I know that Kenya, which is the only country in the world with an animal park in the middle of the city, and the rest of Africa are the luckiest places on earth.
I think it is a throw back to the obsession Northern Europe's kings' had with hunting and its association with power and wealth.
@@professorgraemeyorston True. Indeed, in this world there are those who build and those who destroy. Incidentally, as some commentators have noted here, you're a wonderful narrator. I am glad to have stumbled onto your channel. I look forward to more of your documentaries.
Thank your for your engaging story telling--- also for sharing your reaction to Hemingway grinning proudly over his trophy kills; it is also always a problem for me. Hunting for most of history was a means of survival, but, for me, this kind of sport mentality over killing marks a great disconnection in a part the humanity of a person. Sadly, this was a sport that was largely encouraged and not frowned upon during his lifetime.
Yes, we have to place it in its context, his African trips were very much the type of thing that the wealthy elite indulged in, in his day.
Alright! another lovely Prof. Yorston video! i absolutely love your channel. good sir.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Every time a notification from you comes up, I'm absolutely delighted!!❤🥰
Thank you.
I visited his Key West home a few years back. There’s lots of cats around the house and yard who I think are the descendants of his original white cat I think named Snowflake. Most of them are 6-toed. Very cute! As for the dress when he’s a baby yes as you pointed out that was normal for little boys and very handy for diaper changing as you said. I have a photo of my dad from 1922 wearing a dress, not extremely frilly but definitely a dress. Great video!
Thank you. I'd love to visit the Hemingway homes.
The last great American man!
Thank you... so much for this indepth narrative of a man and his mental illness. There is so much I want to say and share with you, however this is u-tube. I appreciate the way you care about the whole metal illness issues we are all facing. I am dealing with my son and his chemical imbalances but I heavily relate to this great writer in ways I cannot explain in a few sentences. I too am a writer, though unpublished at this point due to my own traumatic upbringing and the scars it has left on me and my mind, and my emotions. I do write but I seem to lag in the lift off. I believe, truly that mental illness is a spiritual issue relating to the feeling of ot being wanted, unloved. Hands down, all the psychiatry in the world could nof diffuse this theory, I call life. We all need love, true love especially as children which I did not have and I can see through my own lens, how this has shaped my life. I became a giver, a pleaser. go figure
I love your videos...
Glad you're enjoying them.
Nicely done professor... You've got something good going here..
Love your soothing voice 🙏🏽
Indeed. His voice is wonderfully relaxing.
A very informative documentary. You provide the best analysis of the subtleties of Hemingway's evolving mental state - especially the cumulative impact of his numerous head injuries - that I have found. As for his hunting activities, yes they were revolting but so was his compulsive destruction of beautiful fish that should have been left alone.
Thank you.
Kerouac and Hemingway and Fitzgerald and Poe and… etc
all American writers ruined
by alcoholism
But I guess the big question is, how good would their writing have been without it.
Artists are not stable people. If they were stable, they would be devoid of greatness, like the rest of us workaday people who keep the world going. They show us glimpses of greatness that keep us going. I feel as if they decorate life for the rest of us.
@@genxx2724 fair enough point
Well done, you even found some photos i haven't seen, looking forward to part two.
I used 600 photos for the first and second parts and rejected another 200 for being too grainy! But it always the same fifty or so well known images that come on google searches, initially.
My favorite author. Waiting for Part 2. 😎
his story was far more interesting than his fiction stories.
I think most of his novels were about himself - with just a few details changed.
Maybe his greatest contribution was breaking us away from the Victorian style of writing to a simpler, less artful, more rational way of expressing oneself in literature.@@professorgraemeyorston
Paris back-in-the-day must have been a delight ...ahh!
Imagine sitting in a cafe and discussing the meaning in life with the most creative minds in Europe!
Great work!! ❤
Thank you! 😄
Wow! This was very interesting. You've got Hemmingway well dissected so far as to what made him tick. I look forward to your next video about him. Hemmingway wrote a wonderful novel called "The Old Man and the Sea" that was required Summer reading back in my Prep School years in the early 70s. I was fortunate enough to read that during my Summer at Dauphin Island Alabama.
Thank you, I'd love to know if he is still required reading today. I asked some of my junior colleagues about him .... and they had never heard of him!
@@professorgraemeyorston
I was privileged enough to attend Wyoming Seminary Prep school in the mid-70s. I had the opportunity to go back there in the early 2000s. Most of my Teachers were retired or deceased. Only a small handful were still alive and teaching back then. The curriculum and discipline and dress code we had in the 70s was really dumbed down but not quite as badly as the public schools.
@@professorgraemeyorston
Some other required reading back then were "Black Like Me" and "Catcher in the Rye" .
Well, I recently reread that book and found it quite mediocre, so much so that I think the Bloke would find it rather difficult to find a Publisher these Days.
@@bendewet1057
How about Kurt Vonnegut's works? He was required reading in College at Prep Schools back in the 70s.
The late great Rodney Dangerfield made use of Mr Vonnegut's fame in the Movie "Back To School" in the 80s.
let's not con-fuse style of dress, time and mode with anything the child thought, even though this is how it's presented. I don't think that kid went out and bought this out-fit for him/her or their self.
I agree.
I never cared for Hemingway's stripped-down prose. Of the more famous American authors, I preferred Jack London and John Steinbeck.
I’m ashamed to admit, I’ve never read anything by Hemingway. Somehow my schooling didn’t include it. I remember Margeaux Hemingway and her short life. Mental illness has definitely affected that family so tragically. I’ll definitely find something of his to read just to try to get a sense of him. I also find big game hunting distasteful and those who kill just to kill for trophies make me sick. I’m really interested learn more about him!
My sense is that his writing is not as popular as Fitzgerald or some other contemporaries, especially with the younger generation, and perhaps his image has something to do with this - not that Fitzgerald's is great!
With wolk has come a decidedly anti-masculine trend. But the recent popularity of the series SAS: Rogue Heroes gives me hope that this may be ending.
😮You are missing out. His writings stay with you for days. A moveable feast, For whom the bell tolls. Just wonderful.
I grew up by Walloon Lake and we used to wave hi to Sunny Hemingway.
It looks a beautiful place!
Big Two-Hearted River! 😎
I am sure enjoying your channel. This is like a part of college studies I appreciated so much, namely those rare intervals in class wherein a great Prof waxes pensive about the subject at hand. I could listen to him/her for hours, if we'd had the time. Once in awhile -- not often enough-- there'd be a successful transfer from classroom to local pub.
And I agree completely with you; I admire the noble hunter who goes to it for food and is quick and accurate. Big game hunters are about as far from the noble hunter -- as to depart entirely from the definiiton.
Thank you. I look forward to the invite to the pub!
А serious channel, love it.Very good,professor😊 all the best to you
Thanks! 😃
And one of his beautiful model grandaughters (Margeaux?) killed herself too. It's possible the tendency of suicide might be inherited.
I am looking forward to part 2. I've always been a Hemingway fan.
Currently being edited, hopefully released next Friday.
Me too!
Excellent. Thank you.
A Psychobiography: what made the lives of people tick. And what are they compensating for.
I always thought Hemingway's macho characterizations set the stage for Clark Gable in films.
He was a great writer! But I agree with you on the big game hunting. Maybe it was more socially acceptable back then. I feel bad when I kill a spider…
Once in a while people dressed a boy in a dress mostly because you ran out of clothes. It was not for public. Mostly utilitarian at home. They did not talk kids into changing gender when the kid gets stressed out
Some of these wacko, weak young people seem to equate ever-changing moods with gender.
In my view,he was a philosopher¡¡His life was so intresting as well as a nice trip around the world and inside himself¡¡
Excellent insight into those early years.
Thank you for your Marvelous presentation about The Maga Earnest Hemet ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Thanks for watching!
About whether his mama dressed him like a girl, well, our grandfather baby pics; they all had pageboy hair or long curly locks and wide, lacy collars on billowy white blouses. But maybe in his magic, magnifying mind, it did cause him distress. Most things did. As to the sport hunting; he obviously did need the outlet. Had he not had so many outlets, he might have become a serial killer. I mean, he always did seem to have an urge to kill. That would explain a cathartic enjoyment of the bullfighting, too.
And I'm sure he wasn't scarred by the experience.
Once again, a superb job. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Winnie Wallace..... Blimey this bloke had a bit of a bonkers life...Im not sure he wasn't a bit of a bull shiter though. Like the narrator said, if it was a novel nobody would believe it.
He did like to embellish a little, but most of his adventures were real enough.
Herminway life was indeed a story that created/ plotted itself. I feel so sad after watching this video😢
Nonsense that the father with "numerous" maids and household help...did laundry.
Dear Professor Yorston,
I’m the one who asked you to do P.G. Wodehouse!
Now I am requesting you to please look into the Collyer Brothers? As an impressionable 14 ur old, I read a novel based on their lives, written by journalist Marcia Davenport…(I am 63 now!) and read that novel-MY BROTHER’S KEEPER so many times, I have lost track of how many…
And I know their story would fascinate you-and all your viewers and especially me, would benefit from your take on what brought on the madness in their lives, when they had everything: wealth, education, and privilege.
Look them up!
Thanks, The Collyer Bros are on my radar. I'd love to do one on PGW but my to do list is getting longer and longer!
PERFECT NARRATING VOICE !!! Too many excellent videos ruined due to HORRIBLE VOICES !!!!!!
Thank you!
😊 A master writer
Dr.tyrone of Chester PA
He was indeed.
I loved his safari’s! I loved that he was a man’s man, intelligent, great writer, and sexy as hell!
What about the rhinos and lions and leopards....?
Would you say that the father was bi-polar?
I would.
Yes, this guy is a top, notch narrator someone in the comments, said that I concur but that’s about it not a storyteller no heartbeat
The narrative is very good. My own mother was bipolar. She was also an alcoholic. This dual diagnosis is actually more common than most realize.
Once again, it's a pleasure. Thank you, and I can't wait for the next one to follow.
Hopefully released next Friday.
In The Western Canon by Harold Bloom, he predicts that his posthumously published final novel, The Garden of Eden , left unfinished will out live his famous novels like The Old Man and the Sea. Would love to see, just exactly where will Hemingway be with readers in 50 years time? John Updike is not popular these days with americans, but outside of the United States, his Rabbit tetralogy is becoming the most representative of where we were in the post-war years and that along with the works of John Cheever they see what is happening with their rising middle-class and the mistakes that recall that era of prosperity and broken dreams.
Yes, who will be read in 50 years times, would be a great conversation to have. I suspect the list of Nobel laureates would be a pretty poor predictor, there are some great names on there, along with some pretty obscure ones.
@@professorgraemeyorston The writers with a shelf full of awards are not the predictors of longevity, if anything, the list of all those writers that didn't receive the Nobel Prize is quite a distinguished one over the list of those that did, is Ishiguro a better writer than John Updike, Philip Roth, John Barth, William Gaddis, Cormac McCarthy, Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo or just about any of the great writers of the continents underrepresented, I think not!
Hemingway was a great writer. However he was an alcoholic addict from the first world war on. By 1919 he was taking up to twenty capsules of barbituric acid a night, complaining that even that wouldn't help him sleep. As a young man he was taking barbiturates and drinking to boost them. Later on he was on all the real downers he could get. You try that and see what you feel like. How he didn't die from it was because of his giant tolerance. He talked about it in his letters. He jumped on Doriden when it was invented.
Interesting.
I have recently read a moveable feast and I believe that E. Hemingway loved his first wife but was forced to leave her by Pauline Pfeiffer. You should compare both dates of birth. It is amazing how very similar and close they were, both cancers.
He had a roving eye and was always looking for something or someone new, but he always regretted leaving Hadley.
I'm only midway through this, but wanted to say that in my view, Sir Frederick Mott was one of history's greatest physicians. He didn't understand the mechanism of DAI, but his instinct that "shell shock" was caused by waves thrown off by exploding shells in some probable combination with psychological trauma was absolutely right. Predictably, as you know, the medical establishment rejected this in favor of an exclusively psychogenic hypothesis.
I was unaware until now that Hemingway had been wounded by an exploding shell in WWI. When I consider that in 1954, he suffered two TBIs in separate plane crashes in a three day period, I'm not surprised his writing was paralyzed in his last years.
There will be even more TBIs in part two, next week!
@@professorgraemeyorston oh my, something to look forward to.😬
Thank you .l read Farewell to Arms when lwas quite young .He liked bull fighting and hunting .Such horrible games ,l believe .He also did not rain,l think..lt depressed him .Never knew he was a good looking man .Very talented .Thanks Prof.
Thank You ……Interesting To Know about This Mind …….🌞
Eu que nasci em 1960 desde muito jovem percebi que Hemingway era o protótipo da virilidade e atitudes masculinas que os homens daquela época queriam parecer iguais.
Ele queria fazer tudo e qualquer coisa que demonstrasse sua virilidade.
I agree, killing animals is both unnecessary and shameful
Such a pity about his hunting...although I enjoyed one of his hunting short-stories...He appears to have been a selfish bastard!
I think that's a fair summary!
This is great. Your narration is mzuri sana.
More Swahili! Thank you.
Interesting how, given that his mother was so dreadful, all the women he married looked exactly like her.
Really - they all look different to me.
I just never could get into his books. I'm a bit embarrassed about it, and perhaps should try again...maybe those short essays...
You could read all 18 of the In Our Time vignettes in a few minutes - I think they are unique and they really changed my view of Hemingway.
Thank you for the suggestion.@@professorgraemeyorston
Damn, if only Hemingway knew that Fitzgerald stole alot of his stuff from Zelda. She was just projecting how she felt about Scott onto Ernest, cuz Scott was the true phony. Zelda and Ernest both should've dumped his ass and hooked up with each other, may have had happier endings that way. Maybe? Possibly? Lol
I very much doubt it!
@@professorgraemeyorston yea the way they ended was so brutal they're lives suck all throughout the multiverse 😂
Talking of books i remember the first controversial book lady chatterleys lover
Not Lawrence's best book, but the obscenity trial was fascinating and says so much about British society in the 1960s.
Really well done and thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Ty for the video, quite fascinating.😊
Suicide all over the family tree. Very sad
Across four generations.
Thank you for your videos, I love your tone, your British accent, your research and everything you teach us.
I send you my best regards from France.
As a former family dr and therapist. Hemmingways life beats fiction. But I heard stories like that almost everyday..
Yes, his trials and tribulations were not so very different from any one else's.
I'll have to listen to this again. So much information! A fresh take on a very well known person.
Thank you, part 2 should be out on Friday.
Hunting is so horrific.
Can’t wait for part 2.
Enjoying all your bios by the way .
Thank you, Part 2 will hopefully be out this weekend.
Very enjoyable . Thank You
great documentary, thank you. very clear and simply explained. with great pictures. I agree with you Sir, shooting animals is just very cowardly thing to do,specially the ones that are distinct. i think shooting animals and calling it entertaiment or sport is just evil. but hemingway was great writer, one of the best in history, i just dont agree with the animal killing, its just unecessary. id respect man more if he fed hungry animals and cared for them, voluteered helping them.
Excellent!
Thank you.
Looks like sean connery
Excellent plus job !!!
Another captivating video. Though his life is interesting, for some reason I never liked Hemingway. The big game kills don't help as I can't understand why shooting an animal from distance is gratifying. Thanks, and I look forward to part 2!
Hemingway documented, thru story, his places and times, mostly by fleeing the America he didn't really like. He was towards the end...a proper rubby. A rubby drinks isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol as he can't afford the good stuff.
Great narration
Thank you.
Dear Professor,
I very much Enjoy your Presentations and the excellent way you do them,
But,
Having read a couple of Hemingway's Books, I found him to be a pretty mediocre Author, compared to the many Great Authors of Today, I suppose that I really to try and maintain the perspective perspective and consider the Time in which his stuff was produced. I do find it rather difficult though.
Like many things in life I found part two before part one. Have made dozens of trips to Key West and would someday like to visit Cuba, but those days are slipping by me. Looking forward to a 'Key West Days' essay of Hemingway's life. Thank You Professor. 🎓
They are meant to be stand alone videos, so no harm done.
Always loved Hemingway.Think he might have been a lot better off had he and Hadley stuck it out and returned to Walloon Lake/ Lake Windermere? Wouldn't that have been grand? They could have made a few more trips up here to Canada as well.
Well done. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
You don’t speak of him boxing on the docks, asking people to fight on the dogs, considering how amazing his life is. You basically did a horrible job I could almost fall asleep and that the only reason I didn’t is because it was Hemingway is somewhat interesting but I think a much better job should be done.

The film Legends of the Fall makes me somehow think of Hemmingway. He also looks like a young man i knew...not to my best results...in 1990
Graeme, I see you still feel the need to present your bric-a-brac to let us in on how fascinating you are, but I am relieved to not have to see the spines of not just one, but two HITLER books just above your head this video. Thank you.
Excellent . I shall be looking at part two . Thank you for the marvellous narration .
Enjoyed that very much; thanks for posting.
