Publisher's Note Hemingway's famous novel about a man who runs contraband between Cuba and Key West in the 1930s is at once a realistic adventure tale and a moving, subtle portrait of an unlikely love affair. "Hemingway's gift for dialogue, for effective understatement, and for communicating such emotions as the tough allow themselves, has never been more conspicuous".--Times Literary Supplement.
