Chapter One: A Life from Beginning to EndDid You Know?
The term “Lost Generation” refers to the generational cohort after the first World War. The word “lost” connotes the “disoriented, wandering, and directionless” spirit of war survivors. Ernest Hemingway popularized it in his book, The Sun Also Rises, published in 1926.
†††
The year 1899 is when America participated in many small-scale wars overseas that resulted in peace treaties in Spain and Paris. War, in itself, could be the reason for a variety of events to happen. Once America won, Americans celebrated and mourned for deaths of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and the country acquired several new territories after Spain ceded them. The same year, a baby was born that would soon shape American literature in the most significant ways by translating the realities of war into stories of survival, hope, and celebrating humanity.
Ernest Hemingway was born into a family of 8, whose mother didn’t want to be bound by the restrictions of gender norms. She would often dress her children the way she wanted, with Ernest often wearing feminine clothes. During high school, Hemingway already showed a promising future for literature–he was a journalist for the school newspaper Trapeze and their yearbook Tabula.
In 1917, Hemingway completed his secondary education–the same year when the United States was preparing for the First World War against the Central Powers of Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire. Every able-bodied man was allowed to join the American forces for the war, and Hemingway was no exception. However, his dreams of serving the military were forced to a halt when the United States Army rejected him because of poor eyesight. Unwilling to give up, Hemingway found himself signed as a Red Cross recruit, who would soon be deployed as an ambulance driver in Italy for the war. The following year, he arrived in Paris when the city was bombarded by German artillery. Hemingway arrived in Italy in June, where he was immediately sent to the war zone to retrieve the bodies of fallen comrades. Days after, he was not spared from serious injury when he was wounded by mortar fire while on duty.
Hemingway was brought to the hospital, where he recuperated for six months. In the hospital, he met and fell in love with Agnes von Kurowsky, a Red Cross nurse seven years older than him. But she rejected him for another man, devastating and deeply wounding Hemingway. In 1919, he returned to America and continued his recovery. After recuperating, Hemingway landed a job as a WWI correspondent for the Toronto Star. He traveled to Paris, where he met famous American writers Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, influencing him to be a novelist.
As a driver and a journalist, his experiences with war were enough for Hemingway to share what truly happened on the battlefield. In 1924, he published his first book, In Our Time, a collection of stories about the war struggles. The following year, it was released in New York. In 1925, Hemingway cemented his name among the famous novelists at the time when he published The Sun Also Rises. The book earned him the fame which he both wanted and hated for the rest of his life. The same year, he published The Torrents of Spring, a parody to Sherwood Anderson’s Dark Laughter. In 1929, Hemingway released A Farewell to Arms, yet another critical acclaim and his first bestseller. Hemingway wrote more books since then–most were set with war as the backdrop, given his wartime expertise.
In 1928, Hemingway’s family departed France and returned to the United States after suffering a severe injury in their residence’s bathroom. The incident left a prominent scar on his forehead, which he carried until the last day of his life. While traveling to Florida, he received the shocking news that his father had killed himself. Hemingway spent the early 1930s in his residences at Key West in winters and Wyoming in summers. In 1933, together with his wife, he took a 10-week trip to Kenya. The safari served as the material for the short stories The Snows of Kilimanjaro and The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, which Hemingway compiled in his book, Green Hills of Africa.
In 1939 and 1944, Hemingway returned to the warzone to cover the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. During this time, he worked on pieces that would contribute more to his critically acclaimed status, such as For Whom the Bell Tolls. However, from 1946 onwards, Hemingway’s depression had gotten worse due to several unfortunate events in his family. Additionally, many of his literary friends began to die. His injuries were also giving him recurring pain. These, however, didn’t stop him from winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1952 for The Old Man and the Sea and Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. After releasing more works while continuously battling with the demons of depression and anxiety, Hemingway finally succumbed to suicide in 1961.
Throughout his life, Hemingway drew on his raw personal encounters as the basis for his books’ plots and themes. On his journey to writing, Hemingway married four times, with each of them ending in divorce. He incorporated his feelings on his marriage on many parts of his works.
