One of his favourite hobbies was hunting, which also was shown in his literature.  

Ernest Hemingway was an author and journalist, mostly known for his classic literature, with themes such as women, death, and emasculation. His novels were inspired by his own experiences during his life (WW1, the civil war in Spain etc.).  

Hemingway was married 4 times and got 3 children with two of the wives. In 1954 he won a Nobel Prize in literature for his masterpiece “The Old Man and the Sea”.

The literature was written in a special way, where all the symbolism is hidden between the lines. The theory is called “The Iceberg Theory”. All the facts flow above water and the deeper meaning is to find underneath.

He died in Idaho in 1961, where he committed suicide. His wife claimed that the suice was an accident, where he was cleaning his weapons.
