520    "A spellbinding story of love amid the devastation of the 
       Spanish Civil War Madrid, 1936. In a city blasted by a 
       civil war that many fear will cross borders and engulf 
       Europe--a conflict one writer will call "the decisive 
       thing of the century"--six people meet and find their 
       lives changed forever. Ernest Hemingway, his career 
       stalled, his marriage sour, hopes that this war will give 
       him fresh material and new romance; Martha Gellhorn, an 
       ambitious novice journalist hungry for love and experience,
       thinks she will find both with Hemingway in Spain. Robert 
       Capa and Gerda Taro, idealistic young photographers based 
       in Paris, want to capture history in the making and are 
       inventing modern photojournalism in the process. And 
       Arturo Barea, chief of Madrid's loyalist foreign press 
       office, and Ilsa Kulcsar, his Austrian deputy, are 
       struggling to balance truth-telling with loyalty to their 
       sometimes compromised cause--a struggle that places both 
       of them in peril. Hotel Florida traces the tangled wartime
       destinies of these three couples against the backdrop of a
       critical moment in history. As Hemingway put it, "You 
       could learn as much at the Hotel Florida in those years as
       you could anywhere in the world." From the raw material of
       unpublished letters and diaries, official documents, and 
       recovered reels of film, Amanda Vaill has created a 
       narrative of love and reinvention that is, finally, a 
       story about truth: finding it out, telling it, and living 
       it--whatever the cost"--|cProvided by publisher.
