Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 to Grace Hall Hemingway and Clarence Edmonds Hemingway in Oak Park, Illinois. His father was a doctor while his mother was a music teacher and opera singer. During his younger years he grew up and spent a lot of time at their summer home in Michigan while his mother often encouraged imaginative talents. His father, Clarence, shared his love of nature and passion of camping, hunting, fishing, canoeing, and hiking with Ernest at the summer home (Desnoyers). Hemingway later went on to become educated through the Oak Park public schools.

Hemingway often traveled back and forth from one country to the next discovering more and more about life and found inspirations for his many works while being an author. Many of his works were based on his experiences throughout his travels. Hemingway was a writer in a variety of ways. He was a novelist creating wonderful novels, columnist, and journalist for different magazines. When Hemingway was young and first started out he just wrote for the school newspaper and literary magazine during his years at Oak Park High School. One of his first experiences from his traveling is expressed in A Farewell to Arms, which consists of his time on the front and hospital stay. This trip also helped with several short stories. His short stories were sent to Saturday Evening Post, however were never published. While in Toronto, Hemingway wrote freelance stories for The Toronto Star. While writing for The Toronto Star he also had a job editing a short-lived trade publication Cooperative Commonwealth however due to a management scandal, is shortly closed. When Hemingway started his “new” life in Paris as an author he continued to be a journalist for The Toronto Star and covered the Lausanne Peace Conference, which is held to settle territorial disputes between Greece and Turkey. In 1923, he published 3 Stories and 10 Poems. He quit The Toronto Star, thus moving back to Paris where he went as an unpaid assistant editing The Transatlantic Review. While there he published “Indian Camp”, “The Doctor and the Doctor’s Wife”, and “Cross-Country Snow” in The Transatlantic Review. Boni and Liveright publish In Our Time in New York in 1925. Hemingway also helped Ernest Walsh start This Quarter, which also published some of his pieces such as “Big Two Hearted River.” Spain was a major influence on Hemingway, thus beginning his first novel The Sun Also Rises. After finishing the first draft, he wrote another novel The Torrents of Spring. In 1926, Hemingway starts with a new publisher, Charles Scribeners Son, which then both novels are then published by them in New York. There were great reviews and sales for Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. A Farewell to Arms was a critical and commercial success, which also described his experiences on the Italian front. Hemingway’s next two nonfiction works were, in 1932 Death in the Afternoon, which expressed his interest in bullfighting, and, in 1935 Green Hills of Africa based on his African safari trip. Men Without Women and Winner Take Nothing were also finished during the 1930’s with his collection of short stories. While Hemingway was on the coast of Key West, Bahamas, and Cuba, he often portrayed an image in that he was wealthy. This image was shown in short stories “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”, “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber”, and the novel To Have and Have Not.
