Non-Fiction Biography
Distinguished by its precision, its graceful use of
language, and its resonant depth, the innovative style of
Nobel Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)
radically altered literary conventions and influenced
generations of writers. IN THE SUN ALSO RISES, A FAREWELL TO
ARMS, FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA, and
numerous short stories, he explored such universal themes as
stoicism in adversity, as well as our futile struggles
against nature and mortality. This evocative, sympathetic biography illuminates the events
that informed Hemingway's vigorous life: an accident-prone
youth and early rivalry with his father; his experiences in
World War I, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II; his
stormy relationships with writers and women; his sudden
fame, slow decline, and suicide. Based on previously unavailable information and exclusive
interviews, HEMINGWAY enriches anyone's understanding and
appreciation of America's most important twentieth-century
writer.
