HEMINGWAY
(1899-1961)

Made by Vlad Shatkovskij

Childhood
◦ Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in the
privileged suburb of Chicago - the village of Oak Park.
◦ His father, Clarence Edmond Hemingway, was a physician,
and his mother, Grace Ernestine Hall-Hemingway, was an
opera singer.
◦ Both parents received a good education and enjoyed an
excellent reputation in the conservative community of Oak
Park.
◦ Ernest Hemingway later said that he did not like his name,
which he "associated with the naive, even stupid hero of
Oscar Wilde's play The Importance of Being Earnest".
The family eventually moved into a seven-room house in a
respectable neighborhood with a music studio for Grace
and a medical office for Clarence.
World war 1
◦ After the US entered the First
World War, Hemingway decided 
to volunteer, but he was not
accepted due to a damaged left eye.
In early 1918, Ernest Hemingway
responded to a Red Cross
recruitment search in Kansas City
and volunteered to be an ambulance
driver on the Italian front. On July
8, 1918, Hemingway was badly
wounded by mortar fire while
returning from a canteen with
chocolates and cigarettes for
soldiers on the front lines. Despite
his wounds, he helped rescue Italian
soldiers, for which he received an
Italian silver medal for bravery.        
                              
 
 ◦ In the hospital, 26 fragments were
removed from him, while Ernest's

to both legs, underwent immediate
surgery and spent five days in a
field hospital before being
transferred to the Red Cross hospital
in Milan for convalescence. 
◦ He spent six months in the hospital,
where he met and became close friends
with "The Chink" Eric Dorman-Smith,
and shared a room with future
American diplomat, ambassador, and
writer Henry Serrano Vilar.
Literary  recognition
◦Ernest Hemingway's first real literary success came in
1926 with the release of The Sun Also Rises, a pessimistic
yet brilliant novel about the "lost generation" of young
people living in France and Spain in the 1920s.
◦In 1927, Ernest Hemingway published a collection of
short stories, Men Without Women, and in 1933, The
Winner Gets Nothing. They finally approved Hemingway
in the eyes of readers as a unique author of short stories.
Among them, The Assassins, The Short Happiness of
Francis Macomber and The Snows of Kilimanjaro have
become especially famous.
◦
◦And yet, to most, Hemingway became memorable with his
novel A Farewell to Arms! (1929) - a love story between an
American volunteer and an English nurse, set against the
backdrop of the battles of the First World War. The book
was an unprecedented success in America - even the
economic crisis did not prevent sales.
Florida
◦In early 1930, Hemingway returned to the United States and settled
in the town of Key West, Florida. Here he became interested in
fishing, traveled on his yacht to the Bahamas, Cuba and wrote new
stories. According to biographers, it was at this time that the fame of a
great writer came to him. Everything marked by his authorship was
quickly published and sold in numerous editions. In the house where
he spent some of the best years of his life, a museum of the writer was
created.In the fall of 1930, Ernest was in a serious car accident, which
resulted in fractures, a head injury, and an almost six-month recovery
period from injuries. The writer temporarily abandoned the pencils
with which he usually worked, and began to type on a typewriter. In
1932, he took up the novel Death in the Afternoon, where he
described bullfighting with great accuracy, presenting it as a ritual and
a test of courage. The book became a bestseller again, confirming
Hemingway's status as America's "number one" writer.
Africa
◦Hemingway arrived in the area of ​Lake Tanganyika, where he hired
servants and guides from among the representatives of local tribes, set
up camp and began to go hunting. In January 1934, Ernest, returning
from another safari, fell ill with amoebic dysentery. Every day the
writer's condition worsened, he was delirious, and the body was severely
dehydrated. From Dar es Salaam, a special plane was sent for the writer,
which took him to the capital of the territory. Here, in an English
hospital, he spent a week undergoing active therapy, after which he
began to recover.
◦Nevertheless, this hunting season ended successfully for Hemingway:
he shot three lions, among his trophies there were also twenty-seven
antelopes, a large buffalo and other African animals. The writer's
impressions of Tanganyika are recorded in the book "Miss Mary's Lion",
which Hemingway dedicated to his wife and her long lion hunt, as well
as in the work "Green Hills of Africa" ​(1935). The works were
essentially Ernest's diary as a hunter and traveler.
Spanish Civil War
◦ At the beginning of 1937, the
writer completed another book
- "To have and not to have."
The story was given by the
author's assessment of the
events of the era of the
Great Depression in the
United States. Hemingway
looked at the problem through
the eyes of a man, a resident
of Florida, who, fleeing from
poverty, becomes a smuggler.
Here, for the first time in
many years, a social theme
appeared in the writer's
work, largely caused by the
alarming situation in Spain.
◦ The Civil War began there, which
greatly agitated Ernest
Hemingway. He took the side of
the Republicans, who fought with
General Franco, and organized
the collection of donations in
their favor. After collecting
the money, Ernest turned to the
North American Newspaper
Association with a request to
send him to Madrid to cover the
course of hostilities. Soon a
film crew was assembled, led by
film director Joris Ivens, who
intended to make a documentary
film "Land of Spain". The film
was written by Hemingway.
 ◦ In 1941-1943, Ernest Hemingway
organized counterintelligence
against Nazi spies in Cuba and
hunted German submarines in the
Caribbean on his boat. After that,
he resumed his journalistic
activities, moving to London as a
correspondent.
◦ In 1944, Hemingway flew combat bomber
flights over Germany and occupied France.

The Second World War During the landing of the Allies in

Normandy, he obtained permission to
participate in combat and reconnaissance
operations. Ernest stood at the head of a
detachment of French partisans numbering
about 200 people and participated in the
battles for Paris, Belgium, Alsace, in the
breakthrough of the Siegfried Line.
According to others, he led a small French
self-defense unit in Rambouillet, for
which he was under investigation, since
the Geneva Convention prohibits
journalists from taking part in
hostilities.
 ◦ In 1949, the writer moved to Cuba,
where he resumed his literary
Cuba activity. Back in 1940, he bought a
house in the Finca Vigia estate in the
suburbs of Havana. The story "The Old
Man and the Sea" (1952) was written
there. The book tells about the heroic
and doomed opposition to the forces of
nature, about a man who is alone in a
world where he can only rely on his
own perseverance, faced with the
eternal injustice of fate.
◦ The allegorical narrative of an
old fisherman fighting sharks that
have torn apart a huge fish he
caught is marked by the features
most characteristic of Hemingway
as an artist: dislike of
intellectual sophistication,
commitment to situations in which
moral values ​
are clearly
manifested, and a parsimonious
psychological pattern.
Nobel Prize

◦ In 1954, in honor of his 55th

birthday, shortly before the Nobel
Prize was awarded, Hemingway
received the Order of Carlos Manuel
de Cespedes from the government of
Batista. Despite this, in 1959 he
welcomed the overthrow of the
dictator and the Cuban Revolution.
In 1957, portrait photographer Yusuf
Karsh visited Cuba and took a number
of portraits of the writer, of which
the most famous is the one where
Hemingway poses in a coarse knit
sweater.
last years of They tried to treat Hemingway with psychiatric
methods. Electroconvulsive therapy was used as
life a treatment. After 13 sessions of electric
shock, the writer lost his memory and the
ability to create.
◦During the treatment, he called his friend
from the phone in the corridor of the clinic to
inform him that the bugs were also placed in
the clinic. Attempts to "treat" him in a
similar way were repeated later. However, this
did not give any results. He was unable to
work, depressed, paranoid, and increasingly
talked about suicide. There were also attempts

On July 2, 1961, at his home in Ketchum, a few days after

being discharged from the Mayo Clinic, Hemingway shot
himself with his beloved W.&C. Scott & Son Model
Monte Carlo B without leaving a suicide note.
