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."
