A memorable GIFT at any time of year! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE AUTHOR / SYNOPSIS: Ernest Hemingway (1899 - 1961), born in Oak Park, Illinois, started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. Before the United States entered the first world war, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. Serving at the front he was wounded, was decorated by the Italian Government, and spent considerable time in hospitals. After his return to the United States he became a reporter for the Canadian and American newspapers, and was soon sent back to Europe to cover such events as the Greek revolution. During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises (1926). Equally successful was A Farewell to Arms (1929), the study of an American ambulance officer's disillusionment in the war and his role as a deserter. Hemingway used his experience as a reporter during the civil war in Spain as a background for his most ambitious novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Among his later works, the most outstanding in the short novel, The Old man and the Sea (1952), the story of an old fisherman's journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his "victory in defeat". Hemingway...himself a great sportsman...liked to portray soldiers, hunters, bullfighters, tough, at times primitive people whose courage and honesty are set against the brutal ways of modern society, and who in this confrontation, lose hope and faith. His straightforward prose, his spare dialogue, and his predilection for understatement are particularly effective in his short stories, some of which are collected in Men Without Women (1927) and The Fifth Column and the First Fourty-Nine Stories ( 1938). Hemingway died in Idaho on July 2, 1961. Information provided by the Nobel Foundation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hemingway received the Nobel Prize for literature (1954) and the Pulitzer Prize for his novel The Old man and the Sea (1952 ) He was well known in Key West, Florida, as "Papa" to the locals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This book will make a BEAUTIFUL addition to any home library or fine book collection ! ~Beautiful, Leather-Bound Gift Edition!~ Richly Embellished with GOLD and COLORFUL printed Cover Art Shiney, GOLD gilt Page Edges Sewn-in GOLD Satin Ribbon Bookmark Timeless, Classic Design with Raised Hubbed Spi... read more
