But it was the only way he could keep his boat, keep his independence, and keep his belly full...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis classic novella was turned into a brilliant film by Howard Hawks - the film in which Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Becall met - and remains an important work by one of the greatest American novelists of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErnest Hemingway\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1899. His father was a doctor and he was the second of six children. Their home was at Oak Park, a Chicago suburb. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1917, Hemingway joined the Kansas City \u003ci\u003eStar\u003c\/i\u003e as a cub reporter. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921. In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHemingway's first two published works were \u003ci\u003eThree Stories and Ten Poems\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eIn Our Time\u003c\/i\u003e but it was the satirical novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Torrents of Spring\u003c\/i\u003e, that established his name more widely. His international reputation was firmly secured by his next three books; \u003ci\u003eFiesta\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMen Without Women\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Farewell to Arms\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing and his writing reflected this. He visited Spain during the Civil War and described his experiences in the bestseller, \u003ci\u003eFor Whom the Bell Tolls\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis direct and deceptively simple style of writing spawned generations of imitators but no equals. Recognition of his position in contemporary literature came in 1954 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, following the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Old Man and the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e. He died in 1961.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), A-Format, Englisch, 192 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65908571472221,"sku":"K029533468","price":10.2,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/2953346800001A.jpg?v=1789294237","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/to-have-and-have-not-ernest-hemingway-9780099909002","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
