He was one of the greatest American novelists and short story writers of all time.
Hemingway produced most of his work from the mid-1920s to the mid-1950s. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
He wrote novels and short stories about outdoorsmen, expatriates, soldiers and other men of action,
and his plainspoken no-frills writing style became so famous that it is still frequently parodied.
