ⓘ About Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway was a man with his own sense of style and even in the beginning showed a fierce determination. This reflected in his books and journalistic expressions. Ernest Hemingway was born (July 21, 1899-July2, 1961) to Dr. Clarence Hemingway and his mother Grace Hemingway, the second oldest of six children in Oak Park, Illinois. Hemingway’s macho lifestyle was no act; he developed a love for the outdoors from his physician father, who was described as a quiet man but very much into fishing and hunting. Sadly, his father committed suicide. Like many, the events in his life would affect his writing. He lived an active macho lifestyle, researching his novels with focus and vigor. This man was a star of movies as well as a renowned author. Many of his novels were turned into movies.
