Ernest Hemmingway's Death Anniversary


Ernest Hemmingway, who passed away on 2 July 1961, was an American author and journalist.

One of the most famous authors of the early 20th-century, Hemingway published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works.

Many of his works are considered classics of American literature, and he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954 "for his mastery of the art of narrative, most recently demonstrated in The Old Man and the Sea."

Hemingway was also an accomplished journalist and was present with Allied troops at the Normandy landings and the liberation of Paris.
