Sobre este artículo
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1937. First edition, first printing. 1 vols. 8vo. Black cloth in dust jacket. Some light chipping to head and tail of spine. First edition, first printing. 1 vols. 8vo. Written sporadically between 1935 and 1937, and revised as he traveled back and forth from Spain during the Spanish Civil War, To Have and Have Not portrays Key West and Cuba in the 1930s, and provides a social commentary on that time and place. Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers describes the novel as heavily influenced by the Marxist ideology Hemingway was exposed to by his support of the Republican faction in the Spanish Civil War while he was writing it. The novel had its origins in two short stories published earlier in periodicals by Hemingway ("One Trip Across" and "The Tradesman's Return") which make up the opening chapters, and a novella, written later, which makes up about two-thirds of the book. The narrative is told from multiple viewpoints, at different times, by different characters, and the characters' names are frequently supplied under the chapter headings to indicate who is narrating that chapter.
Basis for the class 1944 movie with Bogart and Bacall, and screenplay by William Faulkner.
