1.      Ernest Miller Hemingway was a novelist, short script writer, journalist, and sportsman from the United States. His minimalist and modest style, which he coined the "iceberg theory," had a significant influence on twentieth-century fiction, but his adventurous lifestyle and public image earned him love from following generations. Hemingway wrote most of his books between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. He wrote seven novels, six collections of short stories, and two nonfiction books. Three of his novels, four collections of short stories, and three nonfiction books were released after his death. He worked as a reporter for The Kansas City Star for a few months after high school before enlisting as an ambulance driver on the Italian Front during World War I. He was gravely injured in 1918 and returned home. His novel, A Farewell to Arms, was inspired by his military experiences.
