Ernest Hemingway is considered the main personification of the American writers of the 'Lost Generation', who lived and wrote his novels during the First World War. He quickly became a famous writer, and the most important author of his generation, and perhaps of the 20th century. To begin, I would like to mention his best novel "A Farewell to Arms", which emerged from the First World War, as well as his first major work "The Sun Also Rises" and his most ambitious novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls". The most notable of his works is the short novel, "The Old Man and the Sea", which describes the journey of an old fisherman and his long and lonely struggle with a large fish in the sea, as well as his efforts for victory, which end in defeat. Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899, in Illinois, in a suburb of Chicago, where he also grew up. Hemingway called it a city of “wide lawns and narrow minds.” He was raised on the strict values ​​of hard work, strong religion and self-determination. He was taught that if one possessed these qualities, he would be successful in whatever field he chose in life. His father taught him to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. Nature would be key to Hemingway's life and work, and once he achieved success, he chose isolated places to live, which were also convenient locations for hunting and fishing. His mother taught him good music. When he was in high school, he played football, went swimming, played water basketball and served as manager of the track team. The first articles he wrote in his high school newspaper, the Trapeze, were generally funny. Hemingway graduated in 1917. As Hemingway graduated from high school, World War I was ... middle of paper ... He would also recite or speak aloud the conversations he was creating, because the ear is a good censor. He would never write anything down on paper until it was expressed in such a way that it was clear to everyone. However, it is impossible to describe the life of this great man in a few pages. The interpretations for his work are endless and come from different points of view, as every reader has one for his work. The world has nothing but luck.WORK CITED- Levin, Harry “Observations on the Style of Ernest Hemingway,” from "Contexts of Criticism" (Harvard University Press, 1957).- Palin, Michael. “Hemingway's Travels”.
