Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois, on 21 July 1899 and died in Ketchum, Idaho, on 2 July 1961. The famous American writer, Nobel Prize winner in 1954, was an exponent of the “Lost Generation”, the generation that came of age during the years of the First World War. In the 1920s, after returning from the war, Hemingway moved to Paris. His very dry and concise style had a great influence on twentieth-century fiction. Among his most famous works are “A Farewell to Arms”, “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “The Old Man and the Sea”.
