On September 8, 1952, Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. An excerpt from the article:
"In January 1951, Hemingway began writing a book that would become one of his most celebrated works: "The Old Man and the Sea." A bestseller, the novella also won Hemingway his long-awaited Pulitzer Prize in 1953.
The Hemingways traveled extensively but were often the victims of bad luck. They were involved in two plane crashes in Africa during one trip in 1953. Hemingway was severely injured, sustaining internal and head injuries as well as burns. Some newspapers erroneously reported that he had died in the second crash.
In 1954, Hemingway was awarded the career-topping Nobel Prize for literature."

I devoured his books when in high school. For Whom the Bell Tolls was my fav, and it was made into a movie starring Gary Cooper and Ingred Bergman. The lady had an affair with the film’s director, Roberto Rossellini, and issue of that liaison was a baby girl whomthey named Isabelle Rossellini, who became a celebrated fashion model. Hemingway committed suicide with a shotgun at his home in Key West

I liked the old man and the sea. When I was in high school I read a book “ Bull Fighter From Brooklyn” about a guy named Sydney Franklin. Franklin went to Spain, fell in love with bull fighting and became good at it. Hemingway connected with Franklin to get back ground for “Death in the Afternoon “. Franklin had no idea who Hemingway was and was a little shocked when reporters asked him what it was like being with Hemingway.
