Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21,
1899 – July 2, 1961) was an
American novelist, short-story
writer, and journalist. He was part of
the 1920s expatriate community in
Paris known as "the Lost
Generation", as described in his
memoir A Moveable Feast.

First novels and other early works

After the war, Hemingway returned to Oak Park. Driven from
the United States in part due to prohibition[citation needed], in
1920, he moved to an apartment on 1599 Bathurst Street, now
known as The Hemingway, in the Humewood-Cedarvale
neighborhood in Toronto, Ontario.[6] During his stay, he found a
job with the Toronto Star newspper. He worked as a freelancer,
staff writer, and foreign correspondent. Hemingway befriended
fellow Star reporter Morley Callaghan. Callaghan had begun
writing short stories at this time; he showed them to
Hemingway, who praised them as fine work. They would later
be reunited in Paris.
In 1938 — along with his only full-length play, titled
The Fifth Column — 49 stories were published in the
collection The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine
Stories. Hemingway's intention was, as he openly
stated in his foreword, to write more. Many of the
stories that make up this collection can be found in
other abridged collections, including In Our Time,
Men Without Women, Winner Take Nothing, and The
Snows of Kilimanjaro.
Some of the collection's important stories include
Old Man at the Bridge, On The Quai at Smyrna, Hills
Like White Elephants, One Reader Writes, The Killers
and (perhaps most famously) A Clean, Well-Lighted
Place. While these stories are rather short, the book
also includes much longer stories, among them The
Snows of Kilimanjaro and The Short Happy Life of
Francis Macomber.
The Forty-Nine Stories
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Francisco Franco and the Nationalists defeated the
Republicans, ending the Spanish Civil War in the
spring of 1939. Hemingway lost an adopted homeland
to Franco's fascists, and would later lose his beloved
Key West, Florida home due to his 1940 divorce. A
few weeks after the divorce, Hemingway married his
companion of four years in Spain, Martha Gellhorn,
his third wife. His novel For Whom the Bell Tolls was
published in 1940. It was written in 1939 in Cuba and
Key West, and was finished in July, 1940. The long
work, which takes place during the Spanish Civil War,
was based on real events and tells of an American
named Robert Jordan fighting with Spanish soldiers
on the Republican side. It was largely based upon
Hemingway's experience of living in Spain and
reporting on the war. It is one of his most notable
literary accomplishments. The title is taken from the
penultimate paragraph of John
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Later years

One section of the sea trilogy was published as The
Old Man and the Sea in 1952. That novella's
enormous success satisfied and fulfilled Hemingway.
It earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. The next
year he was awarded with the Nobel Prize in
Literature. Upon receiving the latter he noted that he
would have been "happy; happier...if the prize had
been given to that beautiful writer Isak Dinesen",
referring to Danish writer Karen Blixen.[16] These
awards helped to restore his international reputation.

Suicide

Hemingway attempted suicide in the spring of
1961, and received ECT treatment again. Some
three weeks short of his 62nd birthday, he took
his own life on the morning of July 2, 1961 at his
home in Ketchum, Idaho, with a shotgun blast to
the head. Judged not me ntally responsible for
his final act, he was buried in a Roman Catholic
service. Hemingway himself blamed the ECT
treatments for "putting him out of business" by
destroying his memory; some medical and
scholarly opinion has been receptive to this view,
although others, including one of the physicians
who prescribed the electroshock regimen, dispute
that opinion
