Features: American young writer David and his wife Catherine go from Paris to the Mediterranean coast of southern France in the mid-1920s for their honeymoon, indulging in a romantic sexual life. David wants to continue writing, but his wife only wants to enjoy the present moment. She even gets her hair cut short by a hairdresser, and after meeting a foreign girl named Maria, she encourages her husband to love her, and the three of them plunge into a dangerous sexual game. But the "good times" don't last long. Because Maria supports David's writing, Catherine grows resentful out of jealousy, burns his manuscripts, and leaves in a letter. Under Maria's care, David's creativity flows like a spring, and he meticulously rewrites his favorite short story, returning to the "Eden." This is Hemingway's posthumous work published after his suicide in 1961. Although written in his later years when his health was declining, the entire book radiates the passion of life and love, making it a rare youth novel.
