Ernest Hemingway
(1899–1961)

Born in Oak Park, Illinois, Ernest Hemingway is one of America's most famous writers. He is the author of some of America's most beloved classics— The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), and For Whom the Bell Tolls (1952). Along with these novels, Hemingway's unique style of simplistic prose writing is considered to be a great gift to American literature. Hemingway lived an adventurous life, participating in both World War I and World War II and spending much time hunting and fishing. Many of his books are based on these experiences including the novel The Old Man and the Sea (1952), which earned a Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway received the Nobel Prize for his novels and short stories the following year.
