Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American author, journalist, and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, known for his unique, concise writing style that profoundly influenced 20th-century literature. He was born in Oak Park, Illinois, and as a young man he volunteered as an ambulance driver in World War I, an experience that shaped many of his themes.
His first significant works were the collection In Our Time (1925) and the novel The Sun Also Rises (1926), which became the voice of a "lost generation". He solidified his fame with the novels A Farewell to Arms (1929), inspired by his wartime experiences, and For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), which deals with the Spanish Civil War.
His best-known work is The Old Man and the Sea (1952), a moving story about a fisherman and his fight with a big fish, for which he won the Pulitzer Prize and earned the Nobel Prize. Hemingway's style – simple, to the point, without unnecessary embellishments – became a model for many writers.
He was also an avid traveler, hunter, and war correspondent, living all over the world: in Paris, Spain, Cuba, and Africa. Unfortunately, his final years were marked by depression and illness, and his life ended tragically in suicide.
