From one of the best writers in American literature, a classic novel about smuggling, intrigue, and love.

To Have and Have Not is the dramatic story of Harry Morgan, an honest man 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 throng 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. By turns funny and tragic, lively and poetic, remarkable in its emotional impact, To Have and Have Not is literary high adventure at its finest.

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication ofย The Sun Also Risesย andย A Farewell to Armsย immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novelย The Old Man and the Seaย won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick,ย Hemingway. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.ย 

Will Pattonโ€™s film credits includeย Halloween, Boarding School, Megan Leavey,ย American Honey,ย Meekโ€™s Cutoff, A Mighty Heart, Remember the Titans, The Mothman Prophecies,ย Armageddon,ย andย No Way Out.ย He starred inย Swamp Thingย on the DC Universe streaming platformย and was seen in five seasons of the TNT seriesย Falling Skies.ย Heย has won Obie Awards for his performances inย Fool for Loveย andย What Did He See?ย He is also known for his audiobook recordings of the work of Stephen King, James Lee Burke, Denis Johnson, and William Faulkner.
