BIOGRAPHY
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was born in Oak Park, Illinois. In 1918, during World War I, Hemingway served as an ambulance driver and was seriously wounded on the Italian front. After the war, he worked as a reporter for the Toronto Star and lived in Paris, where he became a member of a lively and productive expatriate community characterized by Gertrude Stein as "a lost generation."

His first novel, The Sun Also Rises was published in 1926 and brought him immediate recognition as a spokesman for the "lost generation" of Americans living abroad after the war. Hemingway's writing also stood out for its uniquely sparse and direct literary style. Along with several short story collections, Hemingway's works include A Farewell to Arms (1929), For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), and The Old Man and the Sea (1952), for which he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.

Hemingway worked as a correspondent during the Spanish civil war and during World War II, traveling with American troops in France and Germany. He received the Nobel Prize in literature in 1954.

Though known for his adventurous and active lifestyle—he was an avid fisherman and big game hunter—Hemingway became plagued with medical problems later in life. He was hospitalized in 1960 after moving to Idaho. In 1961, unable to write because treatment for mental instability affected his memory, he killed himself with the shotgun he had so often used as a hunter.
