Track Hemingway In La Habana

In 2015, I went to Cuba, but my working time was too short, my schedule was fast, so I could not fulfill my desire to visit the places that the American writer Ernest Hemingway once marked in the capital of the island of England. Hung.
Track Hemingway in La Habana
Recently, I once again had the opportunity to come to Cuba and this time my dream came true: Following the author of famous masterpieces "The old man and the sea", "Bell to pray to someone's soul" in the capital La Habana.
From the central hotel La Habana, I booked a taxi with the destination "Hemingway House". Asked three times to find a taxi driver answered: "I know that house, but far away!"

.
The distance that the taxi driver warned in advance is about 20 kilometers. In 1928, Hemingway went to Cuba for the first time on the way to Key West and was quickly captivated by the wild beauty and fresh air here. In 1939, E Hemingway went to Cuba for the second time.



An avid fisherman, Hemingway has decided to stay here, where he will spend almost a third of the time in his endless adventurous life.
Hemingway's office in La Habana's house.
In 1940, he bought a house in the village of San Francisco de Paula in Finca Vigia, then still in the countryside on the outskirts of La Habana. It was in Cuba that Hemingway spent very exciting years, as action staff trying to sink Nazi submarines lurking off the coast of the United States during the beginning of World War II. Also here, Hemingway conceived the first pages of the famous novel "Bell to Whom the Soul" ..
The taxi passed winding roads under the shady canopies on the outskirts of La Habana, and after about forty minutes reached Hemingway's house in Finca Vigia.



During the time Hemingway lived here, it was a big house in the countryside. When he moved in, this place was renovated into a beautiful villa located in a beautiful manor. Now, both the house and the manor house have become the Hemingway Museum.
The entire building is painted in elegant blue and white, nestled in green. In front of the entrance to the house there was a bell with a rope hanging down within reach. When Hemingway lived here, when Hemingway lived here, his friends just rang the bell to let the landlord know there was a visitor.
Hemingway's house has many rooms. As can be expected, the whereabouts of the Nobel Prize-winning writer are overflowing with books, estimated at 9,000.



Bookshelves are installed everywhere, especially in the library, in the dining room, office and bedroom.
There are also many stuffed animal heads on the walls in the rooms. The museum guide recommended that these are all animals that Hemingway once hunted in Africa.
On the wall hung many paintings of the artists for their owners. A large canvas of surreal Spanish artist Joan Miro, dazzlingly colored, hangs in the dining room. A circular picture given by Picasso personally to Hemingway hangs in the living room.
Floridita pub.
In Hemingway's main office, the stacks of books remained on the semicircular writing desk as if he were half-reading and had just left somewhere.



On one end of the table is an antique telephone, the other end is a stuffed tiger head. This tiger head Hemingway acquired by Italian dictator Mussolini during his time as a reporter in Europe and had the opportunity to interview celebrities after the World War, said the museum guide. the first time.
There were still words Hemingway written directly on the bathroom wall. Perhaps in a certain trance, the writer has written it down on the wall so that the emotion won't be lost ...
An airy, clean, gentle air covers the entire house as well as the garden.



It feels like Hemingway just went somewhere and he will soon return to his wonderful writing pages.
Such a sense of proximity is also evident when, from the Hemingway residence, I returned to the old town of La Habana, following the paved streets to visit one of the pubs that were alive, Hemingway often came to sit when he lives in La Habana.
The shop is located at 557 Obispo Street in the old town, built in 1817. The shop is named Floridita, which means small Florida. The name reminds Hemingway of his home country of America with the Cape Florida nearby, just less than a hundred miles away.
The shop was packed with people. Noisy, noisy atmosphere. The band plays songs with a bustling Caribbean flavor.



I ordered a Daiquiri, the wine that Hemingway used to drink, made from white rum, lemon, sugar, shaved ice. Every day here, Hemingway uses this wine that he describes as "the best in the world". The fragrant wine smelled lightly of rum and lemon, just one glass that felt dizzy.
At the top of the bar, on the chair, a real-sized statue of Hemingway was sitting. As if Hemingway was still there, sipping his Daiquiri and contemplating his experience in his stormy life and creating the masterpieces of the era ...
