關于海明威
?
Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American author and journalist. His distinctive writing style, characterized by economy and understatement, influenced 20th-century fiction, as did his life of adventure and public image. He produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Hemingway’s fiction was successful because the characters he presented exhibited authenticity that resonated with his audience. Many of his works are classics of American literature. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works during his lifetime; a further three novels, four collections of short stories, and three non-fiction works were published posthumously.

Hemingway was born and raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After leaving high school he worked for a few months as a reporter for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to become an ambulance driver during World War I, which became the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms. He was seriously wounded and returned home within the year. In 1922 Hemingway married Hadley Richardson, the first of his four wives, and the couple moved to Paris, where he worked as a foreign correspondent. During his time there he met and was influenced by modernist writers and artists of the 1920s expatriate community known as the “Lost Generation”. His first novel, The Sun Also Rises, was published in 1926.

After divorcing Hadley Richardson in 1927 Hemingway married Pauline Pfeiffer; they divorced following Hemingway’s return from covering the Spanish Civil War, after which he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940, but he left her for Mary Welsh after World War II, during which he was present at D-Day and the liberation of Paris.

Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea in 1952 Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in a plane crash that left him in pain or ill-health for much of the rest of his life. Hemingway had permanent residences in Key West, Florida, and Cuba during the 1930s and 1940s, but in 1959 he moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he committed suicide in the summer of 1961.

對于海明威的評價,正如約翰?肯尼迪總統(tǒng)的唁電所說:“幾乎沒有哪個美國人比歐內斯特?海明威對美國人民的感情和態(tài)度產生過更大的影響。”他稱海明威為“20世紀最偉大的作家之一”,以文學硬漢著稱。

海明威的主要著作表現(xiàn)出更簡明的結構,語氣和人物角色也顯得更具敘事的特征。和這點同樣重要,甚至比這更加重要的是,海明威這種以堅持使用簡短、具體而直接的平鋪直敘的文體和完全由對話構成的場景為主要特點的寫作風格,使他的小說和短篇故事具有一種獨特的、能夠立即被確認是作者本人所寫的特征。由于他寫作的風格以及他個人生活的風格,人們傾向于把他當做一群美國作家中的代表性人物,這些作家的作品反映了美國人所特有的一種寓于行動中的精神,即勇敢、直率以及堅定的獨立精神。他本人是一個曾經參加一戰(zhàn)的負過重傷的老兵、一名直接參戰(zhàn)的反法西斯戰(zhàn)士,同時還是一位熱愛戶外活動、有著諸多人生追求的“硬漢”,這樣的背景加深了他和他作品之間的這種聯(lián)系。
