Amazon.com
First things first: readers coming to To Have and Have Not after seeing the Bogart/Bacall film should be forewarned that about the only thing the two have in common is the title. The movie concerns a brave fishing-boat captain in World War II-era Martinique who aids the French Resistance, battles the Nazis, and gets the girl in the end. The novel concerns a broke fishing-boat captain who agrees to carry contraband between Cuba and Florida in order to feed his wife and daughters. Of the two, the novel is by far the darker, more complex work.
The first time we meet Harry Morgan, he is sitting in a Havana bar watching a gun battle raging out in the street. After seeing a Cuban get his head blown off with a Luger, Morgan reacts with typical Hemingway understatement: "I took a quick one out of the first bottle I saw open and I couldn't tell you yet what it was. The whole thing made me feel pretty bad." Still feeling bad, Harry heads out in his boat on a charter fishing expedition for which he is later stiffed by the client. With not even enough money to fill his gas tanks, he is forced to agree to smuggle some illegal Chinese for the mysterious Mr. Sing. From there it's just a small step to carrying liquor--a disastrous run that ends when Harry loses an arm and his boat. Once Harry gets mixed up in the brewing Cuban revolution, however, even those losses seem small compared to what's at stake now: his very life.
Hemingway tells most of this story in the third person, but, significantly, he brackets the whole with a section at the beginning told from Harry's perspective and a short, heart-wrenching chapter at the end narrated by his wife, Marie. In between there is adventure, danger, betrayal, and death, but this novel begins and ends with the tough and tender portrait of a man who plays the cards that are dealt him with courage and dignity, long after hope is gone. --Alix Wilber -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .
From Library Journal
It's not often that this column gets to cite something by a truly classic author, but here it is: Hemingway's last work, written after he returned from his 1953 safari and edited by his son, Patrick, in time for this July's centennial celebration. Hemingway even stars in this "fictional memoir," running the safari camp in the absence of friend and lead hunter Pop even as hostile tribes gather to attack. But he still has time to sneak in an affair with an African girl. Along with this work, Scribner will publish three new hardcover editions of Hemingway classics: The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories (ISBN 0-684-86221-2. $25), Death in the Afternoon (ISBN 0-684-85922-X. $35), and To Have and Have Not (ISBN 0-684-85923-8. $25).

I've read all of Hemingway's work over a several year period and I do find that -- he would be happy to know -- he is one of the few authors that I (at least) can read again, and sometimes yet again. One of his goals was to write such that you weren't sure how the author accomplished the novel's form or story -- it just unfolds magically somehow for you -- and thus the writing is re-readable, perhaps many times. While Hemingway's "The Garden of Eden" may achieve this goal more than any other, "To Have and Have Not" does this for me, too. Besides that ineffable quality, I like the adventure in the book, the locale and the descriptions, the complex characters and how the stories all somehow intertwine (even when they don't perfectly). When I'm finished reading it, I also feel that I could read it again in a few years. And I have a few times. What is great is that I find something new each time. Overall, this somewhat unusual, typically underappreciated Hemingway novel is one of my favorites for reasons that I can't readily explain -- which is probably how it's meant to be! It simply has recurring allure.

Hemingway is known for his simple, easy-to-read writing style, but everything he writes goes much deeper than the oceans he writes about. This book, as is common with his other books, tells about the struggles of trying to make it through life, and how one has to play with the hand he's given. Everyone has to put up with hardships in life, some more than others, but everyone has to learn how to deal with them because there's not much they can do to change their lives. "To Have and Have Not" is a very realistic account of life. It will leave you contemplating about life in general, and make you realize many new things that you may not have thought about before. Though it wasn't given very good reviews by critics, and is not considered one of Hemingway's major novels, it is a book for the person out there who loves to find the significance in seemingly insignificant things put in there by an ingenius author.

I've always been a fan of Hemingway's The Sun also Rises and a Farewell to Arms. I wanted to read another of his books, and since I loved the Bogart and Bacall movie I purchased this despite the typical literary review that calls To Have and Have Not his worst novel. This book is great!! It's gritty, realistic, and the characters are consistent in their characterizations and actions throughout. The bar dialogue, Harry's actions as he delves into crime, they're all dead on. The plot-line really comes together with the juxtaposition of the rich and the poor (I dare you to not be disgusted by the "vital" concerns of the wealthy in the last few chapters). Hemingway's depiction of Harry's suffering wife is perhaps the *ONLY* completely believable female representation I have *EVER* read. This book is macho, poignantly sad, exciting, and full of heart wrenching loneliness throughout.
