Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Ernest hemingway (1899-1961) è celebrato come romanziere e uomo d'azione. È forse più famoso per whom the bell tolls e a farewell to arms. Ma è stato ugualmente prolifico come scrittore di racconti che toccano gli stessi temi dei romanzi: la guerra, l'amore, la natura dell'eroismo, la riunificazione e la vita dello scrittore. La presente raccolta comprende tutti i racconti più brevi di hemingway, ordinati cronologicamente da 'up in michigan' (1923) a 'Old Man at the Bridge' (1938) e contiene racconti attualmente non disponibili in nessun'altra edizione britannica dell'opera di hemingway.

Informazioni sull?autore

Ernest Hemingway was born in 1899. His father was a doctor and he was the second of six children. Their home was at Oak Park, a Chicago suburb.

In 1917, Hemingway 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 where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style.

Hemingway's first two published works were Three Stories and Ten Poems and In Our Time but it was the satirical novel, The Torrents of Spring, that established his name more widely. His international reputation was firmly secured by his next three books; Fiesta, Men Without Women and A Farewell to Arms.

He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing and his writing reflected this. He visited Spain during the Civil War and described his experiences in the bestseller, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

His direct and deceptively simple style of writing spawned generations of imitators but no equals. 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.
