World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Cuba Travel Guide http://bit.ly/17jZOBD Shepherd Entertainment takes you on a tour of Marina Hemingway in Cuba. Hemingway's name is connected to Cuba just as much as that of Columbus or Che Guevara. The Nobel Prize winning American writer lived in Cuba for 20 years with short breaks. He first visited this place in 1928 and on each occasion and stayed in room 511 at Mundas Hotel in the old town of Havana. Hemingway's name is connected to Cuba just as much as that of Columbus or Che Guevara. The Nobel Prize winning American writer lived in Cuba for 20 years from 1939 with short breaks. He first visited this place in 1928 and on each occasion, he stayed in room 511 at Mundas Hotel in the old town of Havana. Mi mojito and La bordequita, mi daiquiri and el la floradita, he said making the two bars known all over the world. After the Spanish civil war, in 1939, he rented Villa Finca Vigia in the region call San Francesco de Paula in the region of Havana. He lived here with his third wife, the journalist Martha Gelhorn. Hemingway adored masculine, challenging sports, boxing, bullfight, hunting and fishing all his life. The main building of Finca Vigia belonged to the writer. The tower next to it was his wife's. In the house, the posters of bullfights remind us of Death in the Afternoon and the Dangerous Summer. The trophies and weapons are reminiscent of the Green Hills of Africa, Christmas at the Top of the World and the Snows of Kilamanjaro. The photos on the wall show the author in khaki just like experiences in For Whom the Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms. On the bookshelves there are small objects, gifts from friends and fans. The dining room is set. There are drinks on the tea trolley just as their owner left them here. When he went away, he left his villa, 6000 volume library and his personal belongings to the Cuban people. He knew he would never return. He shot himself in the head with a shotgun at his home in Idaho in 1961. His death as well as his life and art occupies the world even today. Did he think he had an incurable disease? Was he having a crisis in his private life or a kind of writer's block? Did he escape from aging and the diseases accompanying it? In all probability, all these reasons could have sent him spinning into a deeper and deeper depression. On the desk, typewriter, books and manuscripts. Among the photographs in the tower of Finca Vigia are pictures of the writer in his childhood as well as Spencer Tracy in the leading room of the Old Man and the Sea. The source of the story is the life of the very old fisherman, Fuentes who died at the age of 105 and here is the famous photo. Hemingway gives a cup to the winner of a fishing contest, Fidel Castro. The villa is huge, in a shady park, a sad view of a ship in dry dock. On the deck of the pillar, which witnessed the many adventures of its owner, the writer fished for marlin, the huge dolphin sized swordfish. He even hunted for Nazi submarines in the Caribbean Sea. In the garden, there's a swimming pool, next to it, four small graves can be found, the writer's beloved hunting dogs. The objects for which there was no room in the house have been placed in the tower. From there, there's a fantastic view of Havana. We can see the huge green area surrounding the city and skyscrapers of the new quarters as well as the building of the Hotel Nacional.
