Ernest Mill Hemingway
Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899–1961) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist, widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century. Born in Oak Park, Illinois, he worked as a journalist before serving as an ambulance driver in World War I, an experience that profoundly shaped his writing. As a leading figure of the "Lost Generation" in 1920s Paris, alongside contemporaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein, he developed a distinctive prose style—spare, understated, and direct—often called the "Iceberg Theory," in which deeper meaning lies beneath the surface of the text.
