Born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1899, Ernest Hemingway served in the Red Cross during World War I as an ambulance driver and was severely wounded in Italy. He moved to Paris in 1921, devoted himself to writing fiction, and soon became part of the expatriate community, along with Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, and Ford Madox Ford. He revolutionized American writing with his short, declarative sentences and terse prose. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, and his classic novella THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho, on July 2, 1961.

Softcover. Condizione: Good. Reprint. Ernest Hemingways most important writings on war-perhaps the authors greatest subject-are brought together in a single volume, introduced and edited by his grandson, Seán Hemingway, with a foreword by his son, Patrick Hemingway.Ernest Hemingway witnessed many of the seminal conflicts of the twentieth century-from his post as a Red Cross ambulance driver during World War I to his nearly twenty-five years as a war correspondent for The Toronto Star-and he recorded them with matchless power. This landmark volume brings together Hemingways most important and timeless writings about the nature of human combat.Passages from his beloved World War I novel, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls, about the Spanish Civil War, offer an unparalleled portrayal of the physical and psychological impact of war and its aftermath. Selections from Across the River and into the Trees vividly evoke an emotionally scarred career soldier in the twilight of life as he reflects on the nature of war. Classic short stories, such as In Another Country and The Butterfly and the Tank, stand alongside excerpts from Hemingways first book of short stories, In Our Time, and his only full-length play, The Fifth Column.With captivating selections from Hemingways journalism-from his coverage of the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-22 to a legendary early interview with Mussolini to his jolting eyewitness account of the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944-Hemingway on War collects the authors most penetrating chronicles of perseverance and defeat, courage and fear, and love and loss in the midst of modern warfare.
