While Gellhorn&#8217;s wartime dispatches rank among the best of the century, her personal letters are their equal: as vivid and fascinating as anything she ever published. <br><br>Gellhorn&#8217;s correspondence from 1930 to 1996&#8212;chronicling friendships with figures as diverse as Eleanor Roosevelt, Leonard Bernstein, and H. G. Wells, as well as her tempestuous marriage to Ernest Hemingway&#8212;paint a vivid picture of the twentieth century as she lived it. <br><br>Caroline Moorehead, who was granted exclusive access to the letters, has expertly edited this fascinating volume, providing prefatory and interstitial material that contextualizes Gellhorn&#8217;s correspondence within the arc of her entire life. The letters introduce us to the woman behind the correspondent&#8212;a writer of wit, charm, and vulnerability. The result is an exhilarating, intimate portrait of one of the most accomplished women of modern times. <br><br></div></div> 761376 2006 Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn total:24|5:9|4:10|3:4|2:1|1:0| 24 99 56 7 5 0 false false Wed Aug 06 08:55:20 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 09:07:30 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Feb 26 11:51:02 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 12:05:25 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jun 13 08:48:22 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 14 21:39:55 -0700 2007
