By Catherine Reef / SpringWater

Meet one of the most significant and notorious American writers of the 20th century. Ernest Hemingway is considered one of the greatest writers in modern history, and his novels and stories are read, studied, and imitated around the world. His concise prose style earned him both a Pulitzer and a Nobel Prize. His name conjures up vivid images: grand adventurer, soldier, war correspondent, big-game hunter, bullfight aficionado, and writer. His life reads like a suspense story full of action, romance, heartbreak, machismo, mishaps, celebrity, and tragedy. Author Catherine Reef has crafted a compelling biography that is not only a highly enjoyable account of an extraordinary life but also an accessible and tempting introduction to the work of one of our most revered and sometimes reviled American icons.

Enigmatic and intriguing, Hemingway is one of America's favorite authors. His dramatic understatement, dialogue and use of heroes made for great human interest. Hemingway's writing was influenced by his tenure as a foreign war correspondent; A Farewell to Arms and To Have and Have Not are excellent literary results of this experience. He is also known for The Old Man and the Sea which was derived from his time spent in Cuba. In 1954, Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, but stricken with physical maladies, he published nothing more of significance before his suicide in 1961. Running time: 30 minutes.
