For information on Hemingway only, you might skip the sections on [Frederic Henry]? and Robert Jordan. For a quick read, you can start at /Young and Innocent
The sources of quotes are noted in the bibliography section. For easier reading, this text is split in several sections. You can get an all-in-one HTML version at http://people.freenet.de/sonics_homepage/hemtext.html
Death and violence were the two great constants in Hemingway's troubled, chaotic life. As an infant, he joined his father on hunting trips. At ten, he got his first shotgun. Fifty-one years later, he used a gun to kill himself. In the meantime, he had hurt many and many had hurt him. He was a tough, strong man with strong principles.
Hemingway "believed that life was a tragedy and knew it could only have one end", yet he was blessed with talent and drive. That may have made it harder for him to admit his failures and correct them.
/Famous at Twenty-Five Thirty a Master
/From Boy to Man Hemingways First World War
/From Reality to Fiction A Farewell to Arms
/Sure Shots The Second World War
Yes and yes. There is obviously a need to restructure the whole text, biographic information should be separated from information on the two particular books, and a trivia section should be included. I will make some of those changes myself, but help is really welcome. -- SoniC
