Ernest Hemingways skrivmaskin till salu

Har du $ 60,000 - $ 80.000 över? Då kan du ropa in Ernest Hemingways skrivmaskin på auktion den 10 juli, 2013. En nyhet för mig var att skrivmaskinen är tillverkad i Sverige (märket heter Halda). 

Men var rädd om dina texter du skriver på den, annars kan det gå illa:

"When Ernest Hemingway was still a young, nervous, viciously hopeful, and mercilessly determined correspondent for the Toronto Star in Paris, his wife, Hadley Richardson, decided to visit him in Lausanne. While Hadley was in transit, her suitcase — containing the only copies of many of Hemingway’s stories — was stolen at the Gare de Lyon, an episode which the author recounted with an almost spurious nonchalance in “A Moveable Feast” (I have always suspected that the accident contributed to the rift between Hemingway and Hadley, whom he abandoned in 1927 for their mutual friend, Pauline Pfeiffer)."

Har du inte råd att lägga ett bud? Var inte ledsen för det. Som han själv har sagt:
"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
