00:00The Nobel Prize
00:14Ernest Hemingway, famous author and journalist, was born in the affluent Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois, on July 21, 1899.
00:26As a young man, he was interested in writing. He wrote for and edited his high school's newspaper, as well as the high school yearbook.
00:35Upon graduating from Oak Park and River Forest High School in 1917, he worked for the Kansas City Star newspaper briefly,
00:45but in that short time he learned the writing style that would shape nearly all of his future work.
00:51As an ambulance driver in Italy during World War I, Ernest Hemingway was wounded and spent several months in the hospital.
01:00While there he met and fell in love with a Red Cross nurse named Agnes von Kurovsky.
01:08They planned to marry, however, she became engaged to an Italian officer instead.
01:15Ernest Hemingway began work as a journalist upon moving to Paris in the early 1920s, but he still found time to write.
01:24He was at his most prolific in the late 20s and 30s.
01:29His first short story collection, aptly titled Three Stories and Ten Poems, was published in 1923.
01:38His next short story collection, published in 1925, was the formal introduction of the wanted Hemingway style to the rest of the world,
01:50and considered one of the most important works of the 20th century prose.
01:55He would then go on to write some of the most famous works of the 20th century, including A Farewell to Arms, The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea.
02:10Ernest Hemingway was awarded a Bronze Star for his bravery during World War II in 1947.
02:18He won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 for the novel The Old Man and the Sea.
02:25In 1954 Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his mastery of the art of narrative,
02:34most recently demonstrated in The Old Man and the Sea, and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style.
02:44Ernest Hemingway was married four times.
02:47His first wife was Elizabeth Hadley Richardson, who he wed in 1921.
02:53The couple had one son.
02:55Hemingway became involved in an affair with Pauline Pfeiffer during his marriage.
03:01When his wife came to learn of it, she divorced him.
03:04Shortly after his second divorce, he tied the knot for the third time with Martha Gellhorn.
03:11A successful journalist in her own right, she resented being referred to as Hemingway's wife.
03:18Over the course of this marriage, she started an affair with US paratrooper Major General James M. Gavin and divorced Hemingway in 1945.
03:29His fourth and final marriage was to marry Welsh in 1946.
03:35The couple remained married till Hemingway's death.
03:39Ernest Hemingway lived most of his later years in Idaho.
03:44He began to suffer from paranoia, believing the FBI was aggressively monitoring him.
03:50In November of 1960, he began frequent trips to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, for electroconvulsive therapy, colloquially known as shock treatments.
04:03He had his final treatment on June 30, 1961.
04:07Two days later, on July 2, 1961, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth with a 12-gauge shotgun.
04:17He was a few weeks short of his 62nd birthday.
04:21This wound up being a recurring trend in his family.
04:25His father, as well as his brother and sister, also died by committing suicide.
04:30The legend of Hemingway looms large, and his writing style is so unique that it left a legacy in literature that will endure forever.
