Ernest Hemingway
Synopsis "hemingway on war"
Ernest Hemingway's most important writings on war--perhaps the author's greatest subject--are brought together in a single volume, introduced and edited by his grandson, Seán Hemingway, with a foreword by his son, Patrick Hemingway. Ernest Hemingway witnessed many of the seminal conflicts of the twentieth century--from his post as a Red Cross ambulance driver during World War I to his nearly twenty-five years as a war correspondent for The Toronto Star--and he recorded them with matchless power. This landmark volume brings together Hemingway's most important and timeless writings about the nature of human combat. Passages from his beloved World War I novel, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls, about the Spanish Civil War, offer an unparalleled portrayal of the physical and psychological impact of war and its aftermath. Selections from Across the River and into the Trees vividly evoke an emotionally scarred career soldier in the twilight of life as he reflects on the nature of war. Classic short stories, such as "In Another Country" and "The Butterfly and the Tank," stand alongside excerpts from Hemingway's first book of short stories, In Our Time, and his only full-length play, The Fifth Column. With captivating selections from Hemingway's journalism--from his coverage of the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-22 to a legendary early interview with Mussolini to his jolting eyewitness account of the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944--Hemingway on War collects the author's most penetrating chronicles of perseverance and defeat, courage and fear, and love and loss in the midst of modern warfare.
Ernest Miller Hemingway (Oak Park, 21 de julio de 1899-Ketchum, 2 de julio de 1961) fue un escritor y periodista estadounidense, uno de los principales novelistas y cuentistas del siglo XX.
Su estilo sobrio—que él denominó la teoría del iceberg—tuvo una gran influencia sobre la ficción del siglo XX, mientras que su vida de aventuras y su imagen pública le trajeron la admiración de las generaciones posteriores. Hemingway escribió la mayor parte de su obra entre mediados de la década de 1920 y mediados de la década de 1950. Ganó el Premio Pulitzer en 1953 por El viejo y el mar y al año siguiente el Premio Nobel de Literatura por su obra completa. Publicó siete novelas, seis recopilaciones de cuentos, dos ensayos y una obra de teatro.
Póstumamente se publicaron tres novelas, cuatro libros de cuentos y tres ensayos. Muchos de estos son considerados clásicos de la literatura de Estados Unidos.
