HEMINGWAY'S LEGACY

OUR NAMESAKE

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 - July 2, 1961) was born in Oak Park, Illinois. A recipient of the Nobel Prize (1954) as well as the Pulitzer Prize (1953), Hemingway was a legend of his time and forged his legacy for future generations to come. He began his literary career as a writer for multitude of newspapers before heading to the European front in World War I. After recuperating from injuries from WWI, he began publishing his first stories while working for the Toronto Star. Soon after marrying his first wife he moved to Paris, France where he met many great artists including, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound and Pablo Picasso. 

​

After meeting his second wife, Hemingway signed a publishing contract in Paris that was the springboard to future success. He spent much of his free time traveling to Africa for big game hunting, bull fighting in Spain and fishing in Florida.

​

While working as a correspondent in the Spanish Civil War, he met his 3rd wife, Martha Gellhorn who was also serving as a foreign correspondent. During this time Hemingway gathered material for his Novel For Whom the Bells Toll, which would eventually be nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

​

As remarkable as his literary works was the life of this icon. He created a legacy as a traveler, an adventurer, a fisherman and at times the life of the party. His life experiences are almost as incredible as the stories he told. He has left an indelible mark on his followers that has lasted generations and will inspire many generations to come.

THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

Hemingway is as well known for his parties as he is for his writings. He is the original most interesting man in the world.

THE PATIENT FISHERMAN

Hemingway is well known for being a world record holding fisherman. Fishing was one his favorite pass times and he spent much of his adult life fishing in the waters around Cuba and Key West aboard

his boat "Pilar". His love for fishing is evident in his last major work of fiction, "The Old Man and the Sea". This depiction of an aging fisherman, named Santiago, who struggles with a giant marlin won him a Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and led to the Nobel committee to award him the Nobel Prize the following year. 

THE SOPHISTICATED WRITER

Ernest was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations.
