A great author and an atrocious person. This was Ernest Miller Hemingway to several people in a nutshell. Undeniably, he had lived a controversial life. However, it was also evident that his life of adventure impacted his writing style. Hemingway had gone through several things that most people never had a chance to experience — World War I, immense traveling, hunting and fishing expeditions, and even his personal relationships.
Born in an exclusive suburb of Oak Park, Illinois, to an upper-middle-class family, Hemingway’s adventurous life started during summers spent with his family in their cottage in Michigan. He was a writer of fictional stories; however, those were based on his experiences. He made characters whose lifestyles were similar to his own. One of the most influential writers of the 20th century, he received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954.
