To Have and Have Not is the dramatic, brutal story of
Harry Morgan, an honest boat owner who is forced into running
contraband between Cuba and Key West as a means of keeping his
crumbling family financially afloat. His adventures lead him into
the world of the wealthy and dissipated yachtsmen who swarm the
region, and involve him in a strange and unlikely love affair.
In this harshly realistic, yet oddly tender and wise novel,
Hemingway perceptively delineates the personal struggles of both
the "haves" and the "have nots" and creates one of the most subtle
and moving portraits of a love affair in his oeuvre. In turn funny
and tragic, lively and poetic, remarkable in its emotional impact,
To Have and Have Not takes literary high adventure to a new
level. As the Times Literary Supplement observed,
"Hemingway's gift for dialogue, for effective understatement, and
for communicating such emotions the tough allow themselves, has
never been more conspicuous."
