Labels:text | human face | man | person | clock OCR: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Hemingway, Ernest Ernest Hemingway A widely read and much imitated novelist and short-story writer, Ernest Hemingway was famed for his action-packed lifestyle as well as for the laconic heroes of his books. During World War I he was wounded while serving as a volunteer ambulance driver in Italy; in World War II he was a frontline correspondent; and during the Spanish Civil War he actively campaigned on behalf of the Republican cause. His novels " The Sun Also Rises" and "A Farewell to Arms," written in the 1920s, capture the disillusionment that followed World War I. For most of this period he lived in Paris where he came in contact with other expatriates, such as Gertrude Stein and F. Scott Fitzgerald. In 1954 he was awarded the Nobel prize for literature for his "mastery of the art of modern narration." Many of his works have been made into films. Ernest Hemingway, U.S. writer, 1899-1961 Hemingway was married four times - to Hadley Richardson (1919), Pauline Pfeiffer (1928), Martha Gellhorn (1938), and Mary Welsh (1946). In his later years he lived mainly in Cuba until moving to Idaho where, in 1961, he committed suicide. CHRONOLOGY
