The unrelated story of the great American writer Ernest Hemingway will be sold at the Christie's in London.
This was told in an interview with the newspaper La Repubblica Donald Stewart, 72-year-old son of the late English writer Donald Stuart, friend Hemingway.
Stuart Jr. has been living in Rome for 20 years, where until recently he kept the four-page manuscript of the American writer.
Hemingway's story “My life in the arena for the Bulls Fight along with Donald Ogden Stuart,” was written in 1924 after being in the Spanish pamplona. The story was presented to Stuart Sr., and for some reason he did not publish it.
After the death of the English writer, the manuscript, together with other papers, passed to his son. Only many years later he discovered a story in his archives and decided to print. However, the relatives of Ernest Hemingway, for unknown reasons, opposed this.
After that, Donald Stuart decided to sell a story at the auction, hoping that some university for his scientific library will buy it and will be able to convey to readers someday.
According to preliminary estimates by the Christie's auction house, 10-16 thousand euros can be helped to the manuscript, RIA Novosti reports. “With this money, I would like to repaint my apartment,” Donald Stuart admitted.
Two years after being in Pamplona with Donald Stuart Sr. and his other friend - the American writer Dos Passos - Ernest Hemingway wrote his first novel "The Sun rises."
