The Resource Hemingway, Ernest, 1899-1961

Description: One of the very most important voices of twentieth-century American literature, Ernest Hemingway wrote deceptively simple novels and short stories. His economy of language is legendary, characterized by short, action-packed sentences, and his stories include testosterone-fueled topics such as bullfighting and hunting. Close examination, however, reveals the prose to be meticulously crafted and the machismo to be an extension of deep themes. Disillusionment, death, war, and general pessimism about the human condition characterize Hemingway's works, though these themes are balanced by his sense of pathos and compassion. Start with: For Whom the Bell Tolls
