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.
