Player Ernest Hemingway, a novelist and short-story writer, began his career as a journalist. Best known for a spare, understated style that would significantly influence other later 20th-century writers, he is often romanticized for his larger-than-life adventures and outspoken public image.
Most of Hemingway's works were published from the mid-1920s and mid-1950s, including seven novels, six short-story collections and two non-fiction works. These include the iconic Big Two-Hearted River (1925), The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940) and The Old Man and the Sea (1952). His writings became classics of the American literary canon and he was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. After his death on July 2, 1961, three more novels, four short-story collections and three nonfiction works were published.
