Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist. His economical and understated style—which he termed the iceberg theory—had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his adventurous lifestyle and public image brought him admiration from later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and he was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. He published seven novels, six short-story collections, and two nonfiction works. Three of his novels, four short-story collections, and three nonfiction works were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature. Hemingway was raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After high school, he was a reporter for a few months for '' The Kansas City Star'' before leaving for the Italian Front to enlist as an ambulance driver in World War I. In 1918, he was seriously wounded and retu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nick Adams (character)
Nicholas Adams is a fictional character, the protagonist of two dozen short stories and vignettes written in the 1920s and 1930s by American author Ernest Hemingway. Adams is partly inspired by Hemingway's own experiences, from his summers in Northern Michigan at his family cottage to his service in the Red Cross ambulance corps in World War I. The first of Hemingway's stories to feature Nick Adams was published in his 1925 collection ''In Our Time'', with Adams appearing as a young child in the collection's first story, "Indian Camp". All Nick Adams stories were later collected in a 1972 book, published after Hemingway's death, titled ''The Nick Adams Stories''. They are, for the most part, stories of initiation and adolescence. Taken as a whole, as in ''The Nick Adams Stories'', they chronicle a young man's coming of age in a series of linked episodes. The stories are grouped according to major time periods in Nick's life.

Scribner's Magazine
''Scribner's Magazine'' was an American periodical published by the publishing house of Charles Scribner's Sons from January 1887 to May 1939. ''Scribner's Magazine'' was the second magazine out of the Scribner's firm, after the publication of ''Scribner's Monthly''.

The Nation
''The Nation'' is an American liberal biweekly magazine that covers political and cultural news, opinion, and analysis.
