Hemingway House in Cuba - Finca Vigia - 2004 Calendar Summary
| Hemingway House in Cuba - Finca Vigia - 2004 Calendar is the first eBook to deliver 13 printable calendar pages of the Hemingway House in Cuba. Each month's page is topped with a high-resolution 5 x 8 inch color photograph of Ernest Hemingway's Cuban residence, Finca Vigia. The photographs, taken by James Reese in December 2002, reveal rarely seen details of Hemingway's Cuban home lifestyle and idiosyncrasies. Photographs have been optimized for the new free Adobe Reader 6.0, which allows full screen viewing with complete zoom and pan control. All 13 calendar pages (December 2003 to December 2004) can be printed and are suitable for 8 x 10 or 8.5 x 11 portrait framing, either for wall or desktop display. Since 1960 few Americans have seen Cuba, and even fewer have seen Finca Vigia. Finca Vigia or "Lookout Farm," is a 19th century villa set on the top of a hill overlooking the village of San Francisco de Paula. These days Finca Vigia functions as a showpiece museum, Museo Hemingway de Cuba. It is left exactly as it was when Hemingway lived there, filled with his books, music and his collection of hunting memorabilia, looking as if the writer had gone on an errand. James Reese is an economics professor at the University of South Carolina Spartanburg. During 2002, Dr. Reese attended seminars at the University of Havana and served as consultant to and member of the official South Carolina trade delegation to Havana. |
