Abstract

ABSTRACT:On 23 September 2019, the British travel conglomerate Thomas Cook was declared insolvent, marking the end to arguably the oldest and most familiar brand in the business. As references in letters from the 1920s and an early short story indicate, Hemingway knew of the company and occasionally used its services but also disparaged the quality of foreign cultural encounters it provided to paying customers. Examining these references to Thomas Cook and the industry it represented, this “note” contributes to the critical appraisal of Hemingway’s ambivalent engagement with the rise of leisure travel and mass tourism.
《来自库克的人》:海明威与世界上最古老的旅游公司的消亡
摘要:2019年9月23日,英国旅游集团托马斯·库克宣布破产,标志着这个业内最古老、最熟悉的品牌宣告终结。从20世纪20年代的信件和早期的一篇短篇小说中可以看出,海明威知道这家公司,偶尔会使用它的服务,但也贬低它为付费客户提供的外国文化体验的质量。通过对托马斯·库克及其所代表的行业的研究,这篇“笔记”有助于批判性地评价海明威对休闲旅游和大众旅游兴起的矛盾参与。
