Ernest Hemingway - Epic Writers

00:00:59

Writer. Soldier. Hunter. Survivor. Ernest Hemingway embodies the spirit of American grit living a nomadic life of adventure. His story opens in the suburbs of Chicago as a journalist for his high school paper, The Trapeze. During World War I, Hemingway enlists as a medic on the Italian Front, an experience that will influence his penship throughout his career. Hemingway’s travels abroad inspire stories of heroism in war, hunting on safari, bullfighting and the call of the sea. A “man’s man” writer. Critics pour accolades upon him and his style, characterized by urgency and monosyllabic prose, culminating in a Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize In Literature. A dark undercurrent will sadly afflict Hemingway’s life in a turbulent affair of four marriages, a rash of serious injuries, and a lifetime of alcoholism. In ill health and suffering with severe depression, Hemingway commits suicide in his Idaho home at the age of 61.
