When Ernest Hemingway won the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature,
presenters called him "one of this epoch’s great molders of
style,” praising his vivid dialogue and journalistic eye for
"robust details to accumulate and take on momentous
significance.” But even the Swedish Academy could not separate
Hemingway the writer from Hemingway the adventurer. They also cited
his "manly love of danger and adventure, with a natural admiration
for every individual who fights the good fight in a world of
reality overshadowed by violence and death.” From the 1920s until
his death in 1961, "Papa” Hemingway was a larger-than-life
literary figure whose everyday exploits became legendary. He was a
friend of celebrities, a war correspondent, journalist, renowned
big-game hunter, record-setting saltwater angler, and hard-drinking
brawler whose reputation preceded him. Though Hemingway was and
remains an American icon, he was also first and foremost a human
being, as these striking black-and-white photos remind.
