  • Essay / A Farewell to Arms - 1567

    Ernest Hemingway is considered the main personification of American writers of the "lost generation", who lived and wrote his novels during the First World War. He became a famous writer in a short time, and the most important author of his generation, and perhaps of the 20th century. To begin with, I would like to mention his most beautiful novel “A Farewell to Arms”, coming out of the First World War, as well as his first important work “The Sun Too”. Rises”, and his most ambitious novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls”. The most notable work of his work is the short novel "The Old Man and the Sea", which describes the journey of an old fisherman and his long and lonely struggle with a big fish in the sea, as well as his efforts to victory. which ended in defeat.Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Illinois, in the suburbs of Chicago, where he also grew up. Hemingway would call it a city of “wide lawns and narrow minds.” He was raised to respect the strict values ​​of hard work, strong religion and self-determination. He was taught that if one possessed these qualities, he would succeed in whatever field he chose in life. His father taught him to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. Nature would be key to Hemingway's life and work, and once he was successful, he would choose secluded places to live, which were also good places for hunting and fishing. His mother taught him good music. When he was in high school, he played football, went swimming, played water basketball, and was manager of the track team. The first articles he wrote in the high school newspaper Le Trapèze were generally humorous. Hemingway graduated in 1917. While Hemingway was graduating from high school, World War I was...... middle of paper...... He was also reciting or speaking loudly voice the conversations he created, because the ear is a good censor. He would never write anything down on paper, until he had it expressed in a way that made it clear to everyone. However, it is impossible to describe the life of this great man in a few pages. The interpretations of his work are endless and come from different points of view, since each reader has one for his work. The world has nothing but a fortune.WORK CITED- Levin, Harry “Observations on the Style of Ernest Hemingway,” from “Contexts of Criticism” (Harvard University Press, 1957).- Palin, Michael . “Hemingway’s Travels.” Weidenfeld & Nicolson: London, 1999.- University Press: New York and Oxford, 2000.- http://www.lostgeneration.com/lastdays.htm- http://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/4825/the- art-of-fiction-no-21-ernest-hemingway
