A sensational best seller when it appeared in 1986, The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Set on the Côte d'Azur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, and the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman.©1986 Mary Hemingway, John Hemingway, Patrick Hemingway, and Gregory Hemingway.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, and strangely contemporary....doing what nobody did better." (Time)

If you ever wish you were Earnest, this book seals the deal! Just get past the haircut part.

I'm sorry to my younger self for not reading this sooner. Time to dive into more Hemmingway.

Beautiful

It would be natural for the average working person not to empathize with the protagonists in the Garden of Eden, thinking that they are just a bunch of spoiled loiterers - two trust-fund babies and a writer - meandering through life with so much time on their hands that they have nothing better to do than play head-games, evoke conflict with one another and decide that they should dictate another's emotional responses. However, one does not have to be rich to experience this change in personality. It can happen to anyone on an extended vacation, of say, three or four months, with the right (or perhaps the wrong) combination of personalities.

Hemingway's skill as a writer becomes evident at various times in his novel as he skillfully metamorphoses how the writer in the story goes from real-time back to an earlier time, highlighting the book on which the writer is working.

I'm not sure if I can actually give an unbiased review of Hemingway's novel, The Garden of Eden, because it so similarly resembles my own experiences in the south of France, at least as far as the setting, the two women, the swimming, the time of the windy mistrals, the drinking, etc., and the devolving into idle-mindedness - as what invariably happens when one doesn't have to do anything or be anywhere. While my experiences in the south of France differed considerably from those in the novel, as I had relations with the two women at different times, I've concluded, from like life experiences, that this sort of ménage à trois never really works out, regardless of the other circumstances surrounding the event, as rivalries and jealousies invariably develop. If anyone is interested in my experiences in the south of France, here's my story: http://knightsfeather.blogspot.com/2011/10/eternal-summers.html

I very much liked Hemingway's novel, The Garden of Eden. I listened to it on Audible in lieu of reading it. The narration was excellent, as the narrator's voice changed with each change of the principles' turn at dialog.

A good read. A little racy, but it’s important to the story, and the story is a good one

Good, worth the read

If you could sum up The Garden of Eden in three words, what would they be?

A story about a young wife struggle in dealing with mental illness and finding herself.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Garden of Eden?

The most memorable moment for me came towards the end when the camels back finally broke.

Have you listened to any of Patrick Wilson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my first time listening to Patrick. I thought he did very well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have if I had the time. I was very long but as with any book I wanted to give it my undivided attention and not miss any moments.

Any additional comments?

This book made me laugh and cry a bit and want to read other Hemingway novels

Great Story

I wish the book was longer. I love this author and would recommend it.

Loved this book

Hemingway took chances with this, both narratively and with his image as a tough guy. Very nice, entertaining reading by the narrator. It took me awhile to get around to reading his unfinished books, but I’ve greatly enjoyed this and Islands In The Stream. Neither feel incomplete and blow away most other writing out there.

Great, I Loved It!

Hemingway wrote to entice and draw you in, then it was ok at the end.

Wilson didn't capture the emotions and snarkiness in the story. he did ok not great.

Great story and wonderful narration

The narrative in this novel is excellent, consistent with his best writing. The character development is spotty, in my opinion and leaves the reader wishing for clearer purpose and understanding.

Not my favorite Hemingway novel
