About the author
Born in Oak Park, Illinois, Ernest Hemingway became one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century. After high school he worked as a reporter for The Kansas City Star, a job often linked to the clear, direct style that became his trademark.
His experiences as an ambulance driver in World War I, a journalist in Europe, and a war correspondent during later conflicts fed much of his fiction and nonfiction. Over the years he lived and traveled widely, including in Paris, Key West, Cuba, and Idaho, and those places became deeply tied to both his public image and his writing.
Hemingway won the Pulitzer Prize for The Old Man and the Sea and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He died in 1961, but his concise, hard-edged storytelling and his interest in courage, loss, and endurance continue to draw readers around the world.
