The Old Man And The Sea
Ernest Hemingway was an American Author, born in 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. Hemingway did more to change to style of English writing than any other writer in the twentieth century. While in Paris in 1920, he became part of the expatriate community, which included writers Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ezra Pound. This experience would prove to give him the strong foundation in writing that would eventually propel him to international fame. Shortly after, Hemingway published The Sun Also Rises, and three years later, A Farewell to Arms. These two publications alone had already secured his place among the greatest twentieth century writers, but Hemingway’s best was yet to come. In 1952, Hemingway published The Old Man and the Sea, a successful and powerful novella, confirmed the power and presence he had in the literary world. One year later Hemingway was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for The Old Man and the Sea. And in 1954 he won the Nobel Prize for literature. Hemingway suffered unseen physical as well as emotional scars due to tragic events obtained from the wars, and in 1961 in Ketchum Idaho, less than two weeks short of his birthday, he died by his own hands.
