Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American
novelist, short story writer, and journalist. Identified with the
Lost Generation. His economical and understated
style—which he termed the Iceberg Theory—had a strong influence on
20th-century fiction, while his adventurous lifestyle and his public image
brought him admiration from later generations. Hemingway produced most of his
work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in
Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short-story collections,
and two non-fiction works. Three of his novels, four short story collections,
and three non-fiction works were published posthumously. Many of his works are
considered classics of American literature.
Hemingway was raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After high school, he reported
for a few months for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the
Italian Front to enlist as an ambulance driver in World War I. In 1918, he was
seriously wounded and returned home. His wartime experiences formed the basis
for his novel A Farewell to Arms (1929).
In 1921, he married Hadley Richardson, the first of what would be four
wives. The couple moved to Paris, where he worked as a foreign correspondent
and fell under the influence of the modernist writers and artists of the 1920s
"Lost Generation" expatriate community. His debut novel, The Sun Also Rises,
was published in 1926. Hemingway took what Carlos Baker describes as ‘a
cordial dislike’ to Glenway Wescott,
especially to his bogus English accent. In The Sun Also Rises he briefly
caricatured Wescott as the young novelist Robert Prentiss. When the author’s
mother publicly commented on the pessimism of the novel, ‘No doubt, said
Ernest sourly, Grace wished that her son Ernie were Glenway Wescott or some
highly respectable Fairy Prince with an English accent and a taste for
grandmothers.’

After his 1927 divorce from Richardson, Hemingway
married Pauline Pfeiffer; they divorced after he returned from the Spanish
Civil War, where he had been a journalist. He based For Whom the Bell Tolls
(1940) on his experience there. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940;
they separated after he met Mary Welsh in London during World War II. He was
present at the Normandy landings and the liberation of Paris.
Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea (1952),
Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in two
successive plane crashes that left him in pain or ill-health for much of the
rest of his life. Hemingway maintained permanent residences in Key West,
Florida (in the 1930s) and Cuba (in the 1940s and 1950s). In 1959, he bought a
house in Ketchum, Idaho, where, in mid-1961 he shot himself in the head.
