Separation from Pauline and Moving to Cuba with Martha Gellhorn

In early 1939, renowned author Ernest Hemingway made a significant life change by moving to Cuba, where he took residence at the Hotel Ambos Mundos in Havana. This transition marked the beginning of a tumultuous period in his personal life, characterized by a slow and painful separation from his wife, Pauline Pfeiffer. The catalyst for this change was Hemingway's meeting with journalist Martha Gellhorn, who would soon become a pivotal figure in his life. Gellhorn joined Hemingway in Cuba, and together they rented a property known as Finca Vigía, or 'Lookout Farm.' This idyllic setting provided Hemingway with the inspiration and tranquility he sought for his writing, while also serving as a backdrop for his evolving relationship with Gellhorn. The move to Cuba not only represented a geographical shift but also a profound transformation in Hemingway's personal and professional life, as he navigated the complexities of love, loss, and creativity during this period. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #ErnestHemingway #Cuba #MarthaGellhorn #HotelAmbosMundos #FincaVigía
