Lo único que yo leí de Hemingway es "The Old Man and the Sea," el penúltimo
año de la escuela secundaria en la clase de literatura americana. La
historia en si es media aburrida (él título ya lo dijo todo). La historia es
la historia del hombre contra la naturaleza, o cualquier adversidad. Si mal
no recuerdo, una de las lineas del libro decía, "a man can be destroyed, but
not defeated."
En cuanto a Hemingway, yo no sabía que él había escrito "The Snows of
Kilimanjaro." Me parece que hay una película que lleva ese nombre, pero de
ahí en más, nunca se me ocurrió la conexión con Hemingway.

Hemingway, Ernest (Miller) 1899 -- 1961
Author. Born July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois. The second child and
eldest son of Clarence Hemingway, a doctor, and his wife, Grace Hall
Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway grew up in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park and
spent summers with his family at their cottage on Walloon Lake in upper
Michigan (an area he later used as the setting for many of his short
stories). After graduating from high school in 1917, Hemingway took a junior
reporting position at The Kansas City Star, one of the leading American
newspapers of the day.
Rejected repeatedly for military service because of a defective eye,
Hemingway managed to enter World War I as an ambulance driver for the Red
Cross. On July 8, 1918, the 19-year-old Hemingway was injured on the
Austro-Italian front. While hospitalized in Milan, he fell in love with a
Red Cross nurse, Agnes von Kurowsky, who turned down his proposal for
marriage. (The relationship is said to have formed the basis for one of
Hemingway's most popular and critically acclaimed novels, A Farewell to
Arms.)
After returning to his family's home near Chicago to recuperate, Hemingway
began writing again. He married Hadley Richardson in 1921, and soon the
couple moved to Paris, France, where Hemingway worked as a foreign
correspondent for The Toronto Star. He was only one of a number of talented
writers living in Paris during the 1920s, a group that included his friend
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and Ford Madox Ford. While
in Paris, Hemingway began to publish some of his non-journalistic work, and
with Fitzgerald's help, found a publisher for his first book, a collection
of short stories called In Our Time that was published in 1924 in France and
in 1925 in America.
In 1926, Hemingway published his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, about a
group of expatriates living in Europe, similar to Hemingway's own circle,
which Gertrude Stein famously dubbed "the lost generation." The book was
both commercially and critically successful, and brought Hemingway a certain
measure of recognition in both Europe and his native America. During the
fall of 1926, Hemingway left Hadley and their young son, John, for Pauline
Pfeiffer, a fellow writer he had met in Paris. He remained based in France
throughout the 1920s, but traveled widely in order to indulge in some of his
favorite pastimes, including bullfighting, fishing, and hunting-typically
"masculine" activities that served as integral themes in his writing.
With the publication of two short story collections, Men Without Women
(1927) and Winner Take Nothing (1933), Hemingway earned a reputation as
arguably the greatest living author of short fiction. In all, Hemingway
wrote over 100 short stories during his lifetime, mostly during two main
periods: 1923-27, when he wrote a number of stories set in Michigan and
Italy during World War I and featuring a young protagonist named Nick Adams;
and 1933-36, when he wrote about more mature characters and more exotic
settings, such as Africa and the Florida Keys. Some of his most famous short
stories included "The Killers," "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," "A Clean
Well-Lighted Place," and "The Short But Happy Life of Francis Macomber."
With the publication of A Farewell to Arms in 1929, Hemingway had his
greatest success yet, capturing an even wider literary audience with a novel
that was at once a riveting war story and a touching romance. Just a year
earlier, he had confronted profound tragedy in his personal life: Pauline
had undergone a harrowing cesarean section during the birth of their son,
Patrick; later that same year Hemingway's father, Dr. Clarence Hemingway,
suffering from diabetes and related complications, had committed suicide
with a revolver. In A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway included a painful episode
reminiscent of Patrick's difficult birth; Clarence Hemingway's death would
go on to echo in his son's life in a far more horrifying way.
In the 1930s, Hemingway published several more works, including Death in the
Afternoon (1932), an extended essay about bullfighting; The Green Hills of
Africa (1935), an account of his adventures on safari in Africa; and the
minor novel To Have and Have Not (1937). He spent a good part of the decade
working as a journalist in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, where he
helped raise money to support the Loyalists in their struggle against
General Francisco Franco and the Nationalist Party.
Hemingway used his experiences in Spain as the foundation of his next novel,
For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). The story of Robert Jordan, an American
teacher who fights for the Loyalist cause during the Spanish Civil War, For
Whom the Bell Tolls was Hemingway's greatest commercial success to date and
arguably his greatest novel ever.
Also in 1940, Hemingway divorced Pauline (their second son, Gregory, had
been born in 1931, also by cesarean section) to marry Martha Gellhorn, a
journalist with whom he had reported on the Spanish Civil War. The couple
moved to the Cuban village of San Francisco de Paula near Havana, where
Hemingway would live most of the rest of his life.
As World War II progressed, both Ernest and Martha Hemingway traveled to
England to work as war correspondents. Never one to miss a new experience,
Hemingway flew with the Royal Air Force and crossed the English Channel with
American troops on D-Day (June 6, 1944). Though ostensibly only a
journalist, he attached himself to the 22nd Regiment of the 4th Infantry
Division, saw a good deal of action in Normandy and in the Battle of the
Bulge in December 1944, and participated in the liberation of Paris on
August 25, 1944.
While in England, he met Mary Welsh, also a journalist covering the war.
After his third divorce, Hemingway and Welsh married in 1946 in Havana. In
Cuba after the war, Hemingway settled down to write seriously again. He
continued to travel a good deal, and suffered serious head and abdominal
injuries in a plane crash while on an African safari with Mary in 1953. The
accident didn't keep him from working, however-in 1953, he won the Pulitzer
Prize in Fiction for his 1952 novella, The Old Man and the Sea. A year
later, Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature for his
distinguished and phenomenally popular body of work.
In 1960, after Fidel Castro's revolutionary movement triumphed in Cuba,
Hemingway left the country and relocated to Ketchum, Idaho. By this time, he
had begun to suffer from anxiety attacks and depression, and complained that
he was unable to write. He also suffered from mild diabetes and
hypertension. Hemingway was hospitalized twice at the Mayo Clinic in
Rochester, Minnesota, where he underwent electroshock treatments. On July 2,
1961, shortly after returning from the clinic, Hemingway killed himself with
a shotgun.
At the time of his death, Hemingway was working on revising a series of
sketches of his life as a young writer in Paris during the 1920s. These were
published in 1964 as A Moveable Feast. Other posthumously published works
included a collection of three novellas entitled Islands in the Stream
(1970), and an uncompleted final novel, True at First Light (1999).
Sparse and unemotional, Hemingway's was probably the most imitated prose
style of the twentieth century. His famously simple, straightforward
sentences and realistic dialogue reflected the honest, sometimes hard-edged
realities of the worlds he chose to live in and write about: the
battlefield, the sea, the African plains. A best-selling author throughout
his adult life, Hemingway continues to be recognized by critics as one of
the most important figures in twentieth century literature.

información de internet,que no hace al comentario de un libro.Todo el
que quiera saber respecto a un autor,por supuesto lo puede sacar en
internet,,,pero no podes hablar de un autor con solo esa información,
que está al alcance de la mano de todo el mundo.Las criticas
literarias no se menejan asi.Se habla de los libros que uno ha leido y
da su opinion al respecto.Sino no haria falta leer un libro,Seria como :
no voy a la escuela a prender matematicas,porque tengo calculador que lo
hace por mi...Si te interesa la vida de un autor,tendrias que buscar su
biografia y leer sobre su vida.
Pero internet solo te da la información.
Me alegro que lo hayas leido,no solo por ser premio Nobel sino por que
en mi opinión,es muy bueno.Si te gusta la literatura,podemos hablar de
ello cuando quieras.
Saludos.
