Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist known for his influential and understated style. This style, including his 'Iceberg Theory' has had a huge impact on 20th-century fiction and many of his works are now considered to be classics of American Literature.
One of his most successful novels, The Old Man and the Sea, was published in 1952. This story recasts the theme of courage and personal triumph despite defeat in a modern style. The novel was very successful and even played a large part in Hemingway winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.
In 1927, Hemingway wrote and published his book Men Without Women. This collection of fourteen stories demonstrates his early writing and themes that he would later explore in more depth. This includes the consequences of war, the complicated relationship between men and women, and sports and sportsmanship. These stories show Hemingway emerging as a great short-story writer.
The Sun Also Rises was published in 1926 and was Hemingway's attempt to portray the good, bad, and ugly in a new and different writing style. Though the novel was a success among critics, his acquaintances felt portrayed in a negative light as Hemingway's unflattering characterizations of them were honest. His mother even said it was “one of the filthiest books of the year”.
In 1929, Hemingway released A Farewell to Arms, which was based on his experiences in Italy. This novel explores the confrontation of death and, despite the dated character of Catherine Barkley, still demonstrates how war brings out the best and worst in people.
The Nick Adams Stories, published in 1972, is a collection of short stories that provides some insight into the life of the young Hemingway. His growing awareness of financial and social strata is explored in his novel To Have and Have Not, which was released in 1937.
For Whom the Bell Tolls, the novel based on Hemingway's experiences as a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War, was published in 1940. It contains classic Hemingway elements, including a protagonist who exhibits grace under pressure and a plot that combines the conflicts and interests associated with love and war.
