From 65438 to 0928, Hemingway left Paris and lived in Florida and Cuba in the United States, leading a quiet pastoral life. He often goes hunting, fishing and watching bullfights. But not long after, World War II broke out, and Hemingway could no longer live a quiet life. From 1937 to 1938, he went to the front of the Spanish civil war as a war correspondent. During World War II, he joined the army as a reporter and took part in the battle to liberate Paris.
194 1 After the Pacific War broke out at the end of the year, Hemingway immediately converted his yacht into a patrol boat to spy on the actions of German submarines and provide information for destroying the enemy. 1944, Hemingway accompanied the US military to Europe for an interview. He was seriously injured in a plane crash, but after he recovered, he went deep into the enemy lines to interview. After World War II, he won a bronze medal.
1940, Hemingway published an anti-fascist novel for whom the bell tolls, with the background of the Spanish civil war. The work describes the hero, American youth J?tunheimr, who voluntarily participated in the Spanish people's anti-fascist struggle and was ordered to blow up a strategic bridge at a specified time with the cooperation of a mountain guerrilla. J?tunheimr blew up the bridge and attacked the enemy alone with serious injuries, waiting for him to die. J?tunheimr has a high sense of justice and responsibility, and he is honored and proud that he can devote himself to the anti-fascist struggle. This work is one of the most thoughtful works in Hemingway's mid-term creation. To a certain extent, it overcame and got rid of the feelings of loneliness, confusion and crying, made individuals integrate into society, and showed the lofty spirit of dedication to the just cause.
1952, Hemingway published a novella "The Old Man and the Sea": Santiago, an old fisherman, didn't catch a fish at sea for 84 consecutive days. At first, a boy named Manorine went to sea with him, but after 40 days without catching any fish, the child was arranged by his parents to another boat because they thought it would be unlucky for the child to follow the old man. On the 85th day, the old man rowed the boat away early in the morning. Unexpectedly, he caught a marlin bigger than a boat. The old man struggled with the fish for two days and finally got it. However, the injured fish left a foul smell on the sea surface, which attracted countless sharks to compete for it. The old man struggled with the shark, but when he returned to the port, the marlin had only a huge skeleton left, and the old man fell to the ground exhausted. The child came to see the old man. He doesn't think Santiago has been defeated. That afternoon, San Diego fell asleep in his cabin. He saw a lion in his dream. "A person is not born to be defeated. You can destroy him as much as you can, but you can't beat him. " This is Santiago's life belief and the idea that the author wants to express in The Old Man and the Sea. Through the image of Santiago, the author enthusiastically praised the indestructible spiritual strength of human beings in the face of difficulties and hardships. The child is ready to go out to sea with the old man again. He must learn all the "skills" of the old man, which symbolizes that the "invincible" spirit of mankind will be passed down from generation to generation.
Santiago is the symbol of the perfect man that Hemingway admired: strong, generous, kind and full of love. Even if he fails in the arena of life, he is still a spiritual strong man and a "tough guy" in the face of irreversible fate. "Tough guy" is a common theme in Hemingway's works and a common figure in his works. They are still strong and unyielding in the face of great external pressure and bad luck, and even die. Although they failed, they maintained human dignity and courage and had the demeanor of winners.
Hemingway worked hard all his life. The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is to write. When he writes, there is another habit that ordinary people don't have, that is, standing to write. He said, "I write standing. I stand on one foot." I take this posture, which makes me nervous and forces me to express my thoughts as briefly as possible. "
In 1930s and 1940s, he created an image of an anti-fascist fighter who got rid of confusion and pessimism, fought bravely for the people's interests and died fearlessly, as well as the novel For whom the bell tolls. In 1950s, Santiago was portrayed as a "tough guy image" (masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea 1950) that "you can destroy him, but you can't beat him". Hemingway is the spiritual monument of the American nation.
The 1920s was the early period of Hemingway's literary creation. He wrote In Our Time, Spring Tide, A Man Without Women, and novels The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, etc. During this period, just as the western world behind the social collapse degenerated into the wasteland as Eliot saw, the novel The Sun Also Rises tells the life scenes of a group of young people living in postwar Europe and the profound changes in their spiritual world. Jack Barnes, the hero of the novel, is an American journalist, and the war destroyed his sexual ability. He fell in love with an English nurse, Brett Ashley, and she fell in love with him, but they couldn't be together.
Robert Cohen, an American writer, has many false and romantic fantasies about life. He also falls in love with Brett, but she doesn't like him. This group of young people, after vicissitudes of life, roamed the European continent after the war, doing nothing all day, drinking, quarreling or fighting. The war took away their loved ones and left them with physical and mental wounds. They are extremely disgusted with war, have doubts about justice and traditional values, and are bored, confused and depressed about life. The novel condemns the war from a unique angle and is anti-war. This novel has become a masterpiece of the "lost generation" literary school because it describes the confusion of a generation.
A Farewell to Arms is Hemingway's masterpiece. Taking the anti-imperialist war as the theme, he revealed the historical reasons for the emergence of the "lost generation" and accused the war of destroying people's ideals and happiness, hurting people's hearts and ruining millions of innocent lives. This work reveals the basic characteristics of Hemingway's prose style and "modern narrative art". The plot of the work is simple and pure, the language is unpretentious, the sentences are short and concise, and the environmental description realizes the blending of scenes.
In the 1940s, according to his experiences and impressions in Africa, he wrote Green Hills in Africa, Snow in Kilimanjaro, and published The Short Happiness of Francis Ma Bei. 1932 The publication of Death in the Afternoon praised the famous saying of American architect Rodwig that "less is better", which made the works more refined, shortened the distance between the works and the readers, and put forward the "iceberg principle", which only expressed one-eighth of things, making the works full, implicit and intriguing.
After World War II, Hemingway's creation entered the later period. His masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954 for its courage in "the real world full of violence and death". The reason for winning the prize is: "because he is proficient in narrative art, which is prominently reflected in his new work The Old Man and the Sea, and also because of his influence on contemporary style." Hemingway is worthy of this praise. Hemingway's life-long creation left a glorious page in the history of modern literature. He used his own experience to expose the hypocrisy of the authorities and the cruelty of reality, portrayed the confusion of the younger generation in the United States, and his works were full of love for the working people, which made realism gain new glory in the open and inclusive exploration of artistic creation!
After winning the prize, Hemingway suffered from many diseases, which brought great pain to his body and mind. He failed to create more influential works, which made him depressed, formed a negative and pessimistic mood, and finally committed suicide to free himself. This is also a pursuit of Hemingway's "tenacious spirit".

There, Hemingway wrote the famous novel For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). When he was shot and left the house permanently, he was already a world-famous writer and won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
