Cuba Confidential: Hemingway’s Secret Havana: From Ambos Mundos to Cojimar @AdventuresWithDuncan

Published 2024-08-08
Join me on an immersive journey through Havana, where Ernest Hemingway's spirit still lingers in the vibrant streets and historic landmarks of Cuba. In this video, we'll explore the places that inspired the legendary author—his room at the Ambos Mundos Hotel, his favorite bars like La Floridita and El Bodeguita del Medio, his tranquil villa, Finca Vigía, and a visit to the seaside town of Cojimar. Discover the deep connection between Hemingway and Cuba, and how this beautiful island influenced some of his greatest works, including *The Old Man and the Sea*. Whether you're a literary enthusiast or a curious traveler, this documentary offers a unique glimpse into the world of one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.

    Duncan, fantastic historical film, your best yet! Very well-researched. I remember visiting Hemingway’s home in Key West on our boating trek through the keys, and learning about his life at sea and in Havana. This film adds much to my understanding of this complicated writer. Thank you for taking so much of your time to make this film, and to share your adventures with all of us. I’m looking forward to the tobacco follow-up film! SWR
