Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist. He is known for his economical and understated style, which he termed the "iceberg theory." Born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois, Hemingway began his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. He served as an ambulance driver in World War I and was seriously wounded by shrapnel. Hemingway's notable works include "The Old Man and the Sea," "A Farewell to Arms," and "For Whom the Bell Tolls." He won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Hemingway's adventurous lifestyle and outspoken public image have made him a cultural icon. He struggled with health issues and depression in his later years and died by suicide on July 2, 1961, in Ketchum, Idaho.
