The phrase "Islands in the Stream" refers to two distinct works by different authors:
- "Islands in the Stream" is a novel written by Ernest Hemingway. It was his posthumously published work first released in 1970 and centers on the life and psychological realism of the main character, Thomas Hudson, with the story set mostly around the Bahamas and Cuba during the early 1940s.
- "Islands in the Stream" is also a famous song written by the Bee Gees (Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb). The song was made famous as a duet by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton in 1983. The Bee Gees originally wrote it for Marvin Gaye, but it became a major country-pop crossover hit after Rogers and Parton recorded it.
So, to be clear:
- The novel "Islands in the Stream" was written by Ernest Hemingway.
- The song "Islands in the Stream" was written by the Bee Gees (Barry, Robin, Maurice Gibb).
Please specify if the question is about the novel or the song for more detailed information.
