Hemingway, Ernest The Old Man and the Sea

Tolls 

Hemingway is one of the 20th century's most famous American writers. His 

books include The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), and For 

Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Hemingway's plainspoken no-frills writing style 

became so famous that it was (and is) frequently parodied. His dashing 

machismo was almost as famous as his writing: he lived in Paris, Cuba and Key 

West, fancied bullfighting and big game hunting, and served as a war 

correspondent in WWII and the Spanish Civil War. He sealed his own notoriety 

when he killed himself with a shotgun in 1961. 

Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954... 

Hemingway is sometimes called by his familiar nickname "Papa"... His 

birthdate is sometimes listed in error as 1898. According to a 1954 article in the 

New York Times, "In most reference books and in his own conversation he is 

one year older because he gave 1898 as his birth date when he tried to enlist [in 

the army] early in 1917, and stuck to that date ever since"... Hemingway's father 

also committed suicide, shooting himself with a Civil War pistol in 1928.
