Biographical Note
Ernest Hemingway was born and raised in Cicero (now Oak Park), Illinois. He began his
writing career as a journalist for the
Kansas City Star
and served as an ambulance driver in World War One, during which he rescued an
Italian soldier while seriously wounded and received the Italian Silver Medal for
Military Valor. In the 1920s he became part of the "Lost Generation" of
American expatriates living in Paris, where he wrote his first novel,
The Sun Also Rises (1926). Other important literary works
by Hemingway include
A Farewell to Arms (1929),
For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), the Pulitzer Prize
winning
The Old Man and the Sea (1951), and the
posthumous
A Moveable Feast (1964). Hemingway served as
a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War and World War II. In 1954, he won
the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his mastery of the art of narrative...and
for the influence he has exerted on contemporary style." Hemingway died from a
self-inflicted gunshot wound in Ketchum, Idaho in 1961.
Scope and Content Note
Writings in the collection include the essays "Notes on Dangerous Game," "On Being
Shot Again," and "Second Tanganyika Letter," all of which reflect Hemingway's
enthusiasm for big-game hunting. Also included is a letter from Ernest Hemingway to
Edward W. Titus, proprietor of what was then called The English Book Shop, a
gathering place for expatriate writers in Paris.
