Ernest Hemingway
1899 CE–1961 CE · Novelist · Oak Park, Illinois
Ernest Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist whose spare, understated prose reshaped twentieth-century fiction. Born in Oak Park, Illinois, he began as a newspaper reporter, then served with a volunteer ambulance unit on the Italian front in World War I, where he was wounded. Living among expatriate writers in 1920s Paris, he published "The Sun Also Rises" (1926) and "A Farewell to Arms" (1929). Later years in Key West and Cuba yielded "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1940) and "The Old Man and the Sea" (1952), the latter earning the 1953 Pulitzer Prize. He received the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature and died at his home in Ketchum, Idaho, in 1961.
