"Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure is a 1999 BBC television documentary presented by Michael Palin. It records Palin's travels as he visited many sites where Ernest Hemingway had been. The sites include Spain, Chicgo, Paris, Italy, Africa, Key West, Cuba and Idaho.

After the trip was over Michael Palin wrote abook about the journey and his experiences. This book contains both Palin's text and many pictures by Basil Pao, the stills photographer who was on the team."

"When Michael Palin was researching for his novel Hemingway?s Chair his interest was stimulated by Hemingway?s appetite for travel and ?Papa?s? evocations of the places he knew. Hemingway remains a compelling figure, and Palin?s goal was to revisit Hemingway?s world. This book includes the American West (?wide lawns and narrow minds?), Idaho, Michigan (?fly fishing, hunting?), Europe in the First World (where Hemingway was wounded serving in the Ambulance Brigade), Cuba (where Hemingway wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls), Paris in the Roaring Twenties and Spain during the Spanish Civil War, Sun Valley and Key West ? where the Hemingway lookalike competition is an annual event."

Erittäin hyväkuntoinen (= uudenveroinen) kirja, joss Michael Palin matkustaa samoissa maissa ja paikoissa kuin aikoinaan Ernest Hemingway teki ennen ja jälkeen molempien maailmansotien.
