Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! To Have and Have Not is a 1937 novel by Ernest Hemingway about Harry Morgan, a fishing boat captain who runs contraband between Cuba and Florida. The novel depicts Harry as an essentially good man who is forced into blackmarket activity by economic forces beyond his control. Initially, his fishing charter Johnson tricks Harry by not paying back the money he owes him, and then escapes the country by airplane before Harry can realize what is going on. Harry then takes a critical decision to attempt smuggling Chinese immigrants into Florida in order to feed his family. (He then kills the person in charge of getting the immigrants to Florida, because the man "Obviously was far too easily persuaded to pay him more for the transport".) The Great Depression features prominently in the novel, forcing depravity and hunger on the poor residents of Key West, referred to as "Conchs."
