Ernest Hemingway was an adventurer, a lover, a thinker, and yes, a writer. He wrote because he had important things to say and he went on to become one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.

Hemingway's desire to share profound insights and describe the life he had seen and led drove him to create works of fiction that won him the highest literary awards in the world. But his bold life and writing was not without critics, scandal, and violent tragedy.

This short book tells the intensely human story of a man who changed the world in a way that no one else could.
