Ernest Hemingway
The books in the "Life and Works" series give an introduction to a variety of writers in the English language. By examining an author's life and writing career, they aim to help students understand the context in which the works they study were written. In addition, the books are designed to enhance the student's critical understanding of the major texts of the writers concerned. This study of the work of the American author and Nobel prize-winner Ernest Hemingway examines his style and the recurring themes of passion and destruction, courage and defeat, particularly in the novels "Fiesta" and "The Old Man and the Sea". His personality is portrayed with the help of quotations from his own work and comments by his reviewers, his family and his friends.
