One of Histories Greatest Writers - Ernest Hemingway ~ Alexander Articles

We all know the names of the great American writers, like Fitzgerald, Poe, and Steinbeck, and perhaps remember scraps of their works from high school English class. But rarely do we come to know these artists themselves and the often bizarre and fantastical deeds they undertook which inspired their work. So join us today as we explore the life and evolution of perhaps the greatest of the American modernist novelists: Ernest Hemingway. From the salons of Paris to a stately villa outside Havana, join Tim and Derek as we travel the contours of a truly fascinating life and an equally fascinating time.
