Ernest Hemingway was born in Chicago in 1899, the second of
six children. In 1917, he joined the Kansas City Star as a cub
reporter. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver
on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for
his services. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921.
In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from
journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris,
associating with other expatriates like Ezra Pound and Gertrude
Stein. He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game
hunting and deep-sea fishing. Recognition of his position in
contemporary literature came in 1954 when he was awarded the Nobel
Prize for Literature, following the publication of The Old Man and
the Sea. He died in 1961.
