A. E. Hotchner Book order

St. Louis inmitten der Weltwirtschaftskrise. Der zwölfjährige Aaron Broom muss mit ansehen, wie nach einem Überfall auf ein Juweliergeschäft sein Vater in Handschellen abgeführt wird. Dabei wollte sein Pop, ein Uhrenvertreter, dort doch bloß seine neueste Kollektion vorführen! Aus seinen Lieblingsbüchern weiß Aaron genau, dass er den wahren Täter nun auf eigene Faust "detektivieren" muss, wenn er will, dass sein Pop wieder freikommt. Von unverhoffter Seite bekommt er Hilfe: von Ex-Boxer und Hauswart Vernon, von Augie, dem Zeitungsjungen an der Ecke, von einem freundlich gesinnten Anwalt für Seerecht - aber er hat auch gefährliche Widersacher. Eine spannende Abenteuergeschichte, wie von Mark Twain erfunden, nimmt ihren Lauf ..

Street-savvy, almost-thirteen-year-old Aaron Broom is guarding his father's car when he witnesses a robbery gone wrong in a jewellery store across the street. To Aaron's shock, his father, a travelling watch salesman in the wrong place at the wrong time, is fingered as the prime suspect in the murder. Despite seeing the real killer flee the scene, Aaron can't do much to help in the moment, no one will take a kid's word for it. Undaunted, Aaron enlists an unlikely band of friends and helpful adults to clear his father's name. Aaron's unusual mission is complicated by the painful realities of the Depression: His father's longtime business folded, leaving the family in financial straits; his mother is in a sanatorium after nearly dying of tuberculosis. So Aaron is forced to fend for himself while his father is held in wrongful custody. He ducks truant officers and nosy neighbours, landlords and social workers, and he bums meals from friends and relatives alike. In his search for justice, Aaron draws upon the resources of a world-weary paperboy, an aspiring teen journalist, a kindly lawyer and a neighbourhood friend with a penchant for baking. And as they dig into the details of the case, these unconventional detectives reveal a cover-up that goes much deeper than a jewellery-store heist gone sour.

The eternally fascinating story of Ernest Hemingway and his love for two women, told by his great friend and final confidante.

Bestselling author A. E. Hotchner's intimate account of his 53-year friendship with his pal Paul Newman. A. E. Hotchner first met Paul Newman in 1955 when the virtually unknown actor assumed the lead role in Hotchner's first television play, based on an Ernest Hemingway story. The project elevated both men from relative obscurity to recognition and began a close and trusted friendship that lasted until Newman's death in 2008. In "Paul and Me," Hotchner depicts a complicated, unpredictable, fun-loving, talented man, and takes the reader along on their adventures. The pair traveled extensively, skippered a succession of bizarre boats, confounded the business world, scored triumphs on the stage, and sustained their friendship through good times and bad. Most notably, they started Newman's Own as a prank and watched it morph into a major enterprise that so far has donated all its $300 million in profit to charities including the Hole in the Wall Camps worldwide, dedicated to helping thousands of children with life-threatening illnesses. "Paul and Me," complete with personal photographs, is the story of a freewheeling friendship and a tribute to the acclaimed actor who gave to the world as much as the world gave him.

"Newman's Own Cookbook" features over 125 recipes from Paul Newman and A. E. Hotchner, inspired by their homemade salad dressing gifts. The collection includes favorites from friends like Robert Redford and Julia Roberts, alongside imaginative dishes. Illustrated with candid photos and Newman's insights, it's a delightful culinary journey.

Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, A E Hotchner's memoir recounts his challenging childhood in St. Louis. The narrative captures the struggles and resilience of youth, highlighting themes of innocence and joy amidst adversity. The sequel, "Looking for Miracles," complements the original by further exploring these poignant memories. Together, these memoirs offer a heartfelt reflection on the transformative power of hope and the enduring spirit of childhood.

Between 1948 and 1961, Ernest Hemingway and A. E. Hotchner traveled together from New York to Paris to Spain, fished the waters off Cuba, hunted in Idaho, ran with the bulls in Pamplona—and once Hotchner even masqueraded as a matador and Hemingway's manager in an actual bullfight. Everywhere they went, they talked. For fourteen years, Hotchner and Hemingway shared their thoughts and as Hemingway reminisced about his childhood, recalled the Paris literary scene of the twenties, and recounted the real events that lay behind his fiction, Hotchner took it all down. His notes on the many occasions he spent with his friend Papa—in Venice and Rome, in Key West, on the Riviera, and in Ketchum, Idaho, where Hemingway died by his own hand in 1961—provide the material for this utterly profound, and truthfully compassionate best-selling memoir about the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. With a new introduction by the author and with never before published photographs from his personal collection, Papa Hemingway is a mesmerizing portrait.

A. E. Hotchner's memoir offers a personal glimpse into his World War II journey, highlighting his aspirations and challenges as a young lawyer from St. Louis.

His narrative captures the resilience and determination of his generation, providing a unique perspective on the war years through his experiences and eventual rise to the rank of major.
