Author : Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Miller Hemingway was an influential American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist, celebrated for his concise and impactful prose that shaped the course of 20th-century literature. Born in Oak Park, Illinois, he began his writing career as a cub reporter before serving as an ambulance driver during World War I, experiences that profoundly informed his literary work. Hemingway's notable publications, which include seven novels and numerous short stories and non-fiction pieces, emerged primarily between the mid-1920s and mid-1950s, with classics like "A Farewell to Arms" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" cementing his legacy. A central figure of the "Lost Generation," he lived an adventurous life marked by four marriages, vibrant expatriate connections in Paris, and significant wartime journalism. His health deteriorated after a series of accidents in Africa, culminating in his tragic suicide in 1961. Hemingway's enduring impact on American literature earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, and his works continue to be celebrated for their profound emotional depth and innovative style.
