  • This presentation covers the life of American author Ernest Hemingway, who

  • lived from 1899 to 1961.

  • Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois,

  • a suburb of Chicago. His father was a wealthy physician

  • and passed on to his son his love for hunting and fishing.

  • After graduating high school in 1917,

  • Ernest Hemingway worked as a reporter for the Kansas City Star,

  • and since he was rejected from

  • army service for poor vision, Hemingway volunteered as an American ambulance

  • driver in France during

  • World War I. He transferred to the Italian front

  • where he became the first wounded American to survive after being hit with

  • a mortar shell.

  • He was decorated for valor which he believed he did not deserve.

  • After his recovery, he returned home taking a job with the Toronto Star

  • working as a foreign correspondent covering the Greco-Turkish

  • War. He then returned to Paris,

  • which after World War I became a city full of intellectual life,

  • creativity, and genius.

  • In Paris Hemingway wrote along with Gertrude Stein,

  • Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot and James Joyce, and he helped contribute to a

  • revolution in literary style and language

  • with his succinct reportorial prose based on deceptively simple sentence

  • structure,

  • which used a restricted vocabulary, precise

  • imagery, and impersonal dramatic tone.

  • He published his first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems,

  • while in Paris in 1923. Three years later he published his novel The Sun Also

  • Rises,

  • making him the spokesman for the men and women Gertrude Stein had named "a

  • lost generation."

  • Hemingway's work has been read as a negative commentary

  • on the modern world, filled with sterility,

  • failure, and death; however, his nihilistic vision is modified by his

  • affirmative

  • assertions of the possibility living with style and courage.

  • His primary concern was an individual's "moment of truth"

  • (which he derived from bull fighting), and he was fascinated by the threat of physical,

  • emotional,

  • or psychic death, a fascination reflected in his lifelong preoccupation

  • with stories of war and death shown in his novels A Farewell to Arms,

  • For Whom the Bell Tolls, Death in the Afternoon,

  • and Green Hills of Africa. Hemingway felt a person's greatest achievement

  • is to show "grace under pressure," or what he describes in The Sun Also Rises

  • as "maintaining the purity of line through the maximum

  • of exposure." Hemingway rejected the romantic ideal

  • of the union of lovers and suggested instead

  • that all relationships must end in destruction and death.

  • He shows a farewell to both love and war

  • in his novel A Farewell to Arms.

  • In 1937 Hemingway became a foreign correspondent covering the Spanish Civil

  • War

  • and three years later published his novel For Whom the Bell Tolls

  • based on his experience. This novel is set in Spain during the Civil War

  • and uses his popular theme love found and lost

  • and also describes the unshakable spirit the common person.

  • He wrote another novel with a similar theme in 1952,

  • The Old Man and the Sea, about an old fisherman name Santiago,

  • who is triumphant even in the face of defeat.

  • Two years later, in 1954, Hemingway won the prestigious Nobel Prize for

  • Literature

  • for his contributions to modern narration.

  • Hemingway's fame brought him critical scrutiny

  • throughout the world. Numerous parallels between his life and his characters

  • exist but none as pronounced as that of Richard Cantwell

  • in this novel Across the River and into the Trees,

  • whose attempts at stoic control

  • of physical and mental illness foreshadow the struggles and defeat

  • of Hemingway's final years, which sadly ended

  • when he, just as his father had thirty years earlier,

  • committed suicide on July 2nd, 1961.

  • The information for this PowerPoint is from

  • the Anthology of American Literature, Volume II, 10th edition, and

  • all images are taken from Google Images.
