Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was one of the most well-known and influential American writers of the 1900 s. He is a typical example of the writer who projects his own personality and life as central to his work.
Hemingway was concerned less with the relations between human beings than with the relations between himself, or some projection of himself, and a harsh and mainly alien universe in which violence, suffering, and death are the rule, and which refuse to make sense. This sense of hostile isolation was to shape his art as thoroughly as it shaped the direction of his life and personality. Although he is so autobiographical, so deeply preoccupied with himself and his own experience, he is hidden in the midst of his creation. He is so many men and so many personalities, each sharply etched and wonderfully consistent, that the total dramatis personae of his own character making suggests that the actual man, Hemingway, is not to be found in the sum of his images, but rather in the hidden center. He was born in Oak Park, Illinois, near Chicago. His life was a romantic series of actions that took place all over the world. He was the 21 year-old young man severely wounded on the Italian front during the First World War; the young man who studied the craft of writing in Paris with Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound; the spokesman of the Lost Generation; who was awarded the Nobel Prize; the bull-fighter; the boxer; the participant in the Spanish Civil War; the survivor of two airplane crashes in Uganda.
During his life, Hemingway wrote several volumes of novels and short stories. He made his debut with a collection of stories entitled In Our Time. Here, two of his outstanding characters, the Nick Adams hero or the tyro, respectively the code hero or the tutor make their first appearance. Hemingway became famous for his best novels: The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea. Hemingway was a craftsman dedicated to the art of letters who rarely wavered in his adherence to the highest standards of artistic probity and who significantly influenced twentieth-century writing on all levels through his aesthetic pronouncements and the principles of professionalism which he introduced and lived.
In a literary period dominated by the anti-hero, Hemingway s preoccupation with heroism was a singular phenomenon. It was nevertheless highly contemporary and had little to do with traditional concepts. His heroes are involved in quests of ultimate experience marked by a peculiar, morbid sense of sacrifice. As to Hemingway s manner of literary expression, it includes an almost perfect objectivity, recurrent understatement, extreme simplicity of sentence structure and diction. The simple stories he tells match his first-person narrative, his straightforward style and the scarcity of formal exposition, analysis or comment.
