Though later he used he vividly described nature. His style had been said to lack substance because he avoids direct statements and descriptions of emotion. Later he began to write more deeply into emotions, mostly discussing death and providing a detailed picture in the readers mind Style seen as direct and simple He used his senses as the center for his writing Believed the mind was “treacherous and abstract” Wrote in an unconventional style, with the problems of war, violence and death as their themes, presenting a symbolic interpretation of life.

  • An American Writer Ernest Hemingway's Life Style and Its
    НАУЧНИ ТРУДОВЕ НА РУСЕНСКИЯ УНИВЕРСИТЕТ - 2009, том 48, серия 6.3 An American writer Ernest Hemingway’s life style and its influence to his creative activity Ruslan Mammadov Abstract: This dissertation work gives a deeper view of the literary style and philosophy of Ernest Hemingway - the American short story writer, novelist, non-fiction writer, journalist, poet, and dramatist. Mainly, it focuses on the connection between the life of Ernest Hemingway and his literary works. He enjoyed life to the fullest and wanted to show that he could do whatever he wanted and it is truly obvious that these facts deeply influenced to his future career, his creativity and private life. This paper examines reflections of the author’s childhood on his works and the effects of women’s special role on his life and creativity and on the moral and ethical relativism of Hemingway's characters. It also studies the importance and the influence of World War I on his short stories and novels. What’s more, it studies his thirst for cultural knowledge which has left indelible signs in all of his works. The aim of this research is to find out essential features of the writer’s literary activity and to explain why the above coupled with the essential messages on the concept of wealth and goodness, portrayed in Hemingway's novels, are some of the reasons why his works have been rendered classics of the American literature. Key words: Ernest Hemingway INTRODUCTION Every man`s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how 1 he died that distinguishes one man from another.

  • The Wives of Ernest Hemingway ~Steve Newman
    The Wives of Ernest Hemingway ~Steve Newman In 1920 Ernest Hemingway lived his bachelor life at 1230 North State Street, Chicago, until he was offered an apartment in a large old house at 100 East Chicago Street. Many of the apartments were occupied by writers, including Hadley Richardson's friend, Kate Smith, who later married John Dos Passos. Another of the apartments was occupied by the painter, Kenley Smith, and it was when Kate Smith invited Hemingway to a party in Kenley's apartment, that he spotted Hadley Richardson - a young woman he'd seen playing the piano at a recital some years before. The couple hit it off immediately and both of them soon realised they had met the person they wanted to marry. Maybe both saw in the other the renegade in themselves and a kindred spirit. They both had a love of literature, art, and music, and were looking for a secure place to deposit their emotions. But they were also bursting with sexual desires and frustrations. Hadley was eight years older than Hemingway and a woman who, at first sight, was of rather conventional looks, but a woman with an aura of oozing sensuality. She also looks remarkably like Hemingway's mother. Hadley Richardson was born in St.Louis on the 9th of November, 1891, and was the youngest of four children. Her father, James, as Bernice Kert, describes him: " ...was a genial man who had reluctantly assumed an executive position with the family drug company. Her mother, Florence, was a talented musician who often accompanied her husband on the piano as he sang out in his fine baritone voice.

  • 30 Chapter Three
    30 Chapter Three: A Chronology of Words I thought about Tolstoi and about what a great advantage an experience of war was to a writer. It was one of the major subjects and certainly one of the hardest to write truly of and those writers who had not seen it were always very jealous and tried to make it seem unimportant or abnormal, or a disease as a subject, while, really, it was just something quite irreplaceable that they had missed.1 In April of 1924 Three Mountains Press, an upstart publishing firm established along the Île St.-Louis in Paris by William Bird in 19222, published 170 copies of a 30-page book; the retail price was 30 francs—about a dollar for an American in Paris at that time3. The small press book, in our time, contained eighteen short vignettes, sketches, and miniatures4 and marked the debut of Ernest Hemingway’s character Nick Adams in published fiction. Though light to the touch, the contents of Hemingway’s “little paper-covered book”5 made a heavy impression on those who encountered it. The vignettes dealt primarily with short scenes of war, but length was not necessarily an indicator of depth: As Maxwell Perkins noted in a letter explaining why Charles Scribner’s Sons could not publish the Three Mountains Press edition of in our time, “your method [of writing in our time] is obviously one which enables you to express what you have to say in very small compass.”6 Indeed, the limited run of the 30-page volume brought about the recognition of Hemingway as a potential player and new voice on the literary scene to his own family, to critics at home and abroad, and—perhaps most importantly—to two American publishing houses.
