Ernest Hemingsway was born in 1898. He was an American journalist and author. He played a major role in defining twentieth-century American literature. Many of his works are classics in American literature and he even won the Publitzer price in 1953 and the Nobel Price in Literature in 1954.
His first novel was published in 1926 and was called "The Sun Also Rises". All together he has written seven novels, six short story collections and two non-fiction works.
Ernest Hemingway was married four times. He married his first wife, Hadley Richardson in 1921 and together they had a son called Jack. They were relatively poor but survived on the money Ernest made from his writing of short stories. But Ernest divorced Hadley in 1927 and married his second wife shortly after.
For his actions in World War I he also won the Italian Silver Medal for Valor and he also reported on the Spanish Civil War and World War II. During World War II he spent most of his time in Cuba and Key West where he patrolled the seas, searching for German submarines. It was during the second World War he met his last wife, Mary, which he married in 1946.
In the late 50's Ernest got really sick, and he got threated for high blood pressure and depression. He also suffered from his war injuries and there were also several signs which seemed to indicate suicidal tendencies.
Ernst Hemingway died in the summer of 1961 where he shot himself just as his father had done in 1928.
