Apprenant le succès de son second roman, David Boume, jeune écrivain américain qui passe sa lune de miel sur la côte méditerranéenne, est impatient de se remettre à écrire. Jalouse de son travail, sa femme Catherine lui fait rencontrer une inconnue, Marita, et s'emploie à créer une étrange relation érotique qui les enferme dans le triangle d'un invivable huis clos. Jusqu'à quelle extrémité peut aller l'amour de l'autre, le désir de le connaître et de s'assimiler à lui ? L'art a-t-il tout à perdre ou tout à gagner de cette passion excessive ?
Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist known for his distinctive writing style and portrayal of masculinity. His most notable works include "The Old Man and the Sea," "A Farewell to Arms," and "The Sun Also Rises." Hemingway's writing is characterized by its spare prose, realistic dialogue, and emphasis on themes of war, love, and loss. He is credited with revolutionizing the modern American novel and influencing generations of writers with his minimalist approach to storytelling. "The Old Man and the Sea," a novella about an aging fisherman's struggle with a marlin, remains one of Hemingway's most famous and enduring works, winning him the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and solidifying his reputation as a literary giant.
