Hemingway, born in Illinois in Julyof 1899, began as a journalist and first popularized the journalistic“understated style” in creative writing.  He often focused on sensations rather thanideas and wrote about what he “lived.”

A great observer of life, the humancondition and nature, he wrote 9 bestselling books and 6 collections of shortstories.  Many of his stories, such as Hills Like White Elephants and The Killers, have often been rated amongthe best in the English language. 

 Almost always to the point in what he wrote, he oncefamously said:  "The best way to find out if you can trust somebodyis to trust them."
