Lumen publications has brought put a book as homage to the writer on the fiftieth annivesary of the death of Ernest Hemingway . This new book contains more than 300 photographs and documents - many of these never previously published - under the title "Hemingway. Homage to a Life". Boris Vejdovsky is the author who has searched out material which largely comes from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Boston. This library keeps material which was conceded to it by the immediate family of Ernest Hemingway and it contains innumerable documents and photos from the life of the famous writer. Among the material there are photos of the Sanfermin fiestas in Pamplona, such as the photo which Sanfermin.com came across and which shows the moment when Ernest Hemingway was knocked down by a young bull and which probably was the origin of the article written for the Toronto Star and where Hemingway states that he had been gored by a bull in the running of the bulls.

The book's prologue has been written by Mariel Hemingway, a granddaughter of the writer and the literary text comes from Boris Vejdovsky. This biographer underlines the value of the book as a passionate yet intimate commemoration to the man, the adventurer and the writer.
