He moved from place to place while working on his books.Īccording to many of his admirers, Hemingway’s most endearing work A Moveable Feast is truly his masterpiece. The book narrates the story of an old fisherman and his struggle with a giant fish. Hemingway’s last fiction book, The Old Man and the Sea, written in Cuba and published in 1952, earned him a Pulitzer Prize, the highest US literary award, and was mentioned by the Nobel Committee in his Nobel Prize citation.
These include his first full novel, The Sun Also Rises (1926), which is based on his experiences in Paris and Spain A Farewell to Arms (1929), which was heavily influenced by the author’s experience in the First World War and For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), which drew on his observations during the bloody Spanish Civil War, which he covered as a newspaper reporter, became a bestseller. Those five years from 1925 to 1929 are considered to be the most productive phase of his life, during which he produced several novels. The famed American author Ernest Hemingway, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, spent some five years in Paris in the 1920s, working as a journalist and fiction writer. After the First World War, Paris became a favorite haunt of artists, intellectuals, writers and poets from around the world – who frequently congregated in its celebrated bookstores, cafés and restaurants. Phrases such as “we will always have Paris,” drawn from the classic film Casablanca, considered to be one of the best movies ever made, have promoted its image as a city of romance and mystery. Paris, the legendary city of light, has been celebrated in numerous books and poems.
