  这周基英课学习的一单元主题是autobiography memoir主角就是海明威 于是到wiki找来资料读

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American author and journalist. His distinctive writing style, characterized by economy and understatement, influenced 20th-century fiction, as did his life of adventure and public image. He produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Hemingway's fiction was successful because the characters he presented exhibited authenticity that resonated with his audience. Many of his works are classics of American literature. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works during his lifetime; a further three novels, four collections of short stories, and three non-fiction works were published posthumously.

Hemingway was born and raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After leaving high school he worked for a few months as a reporter for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to become an ambulance driver during World War I, which became the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms. He was seriously wounded and returned home within the year. In 1922 Hemingway married Hadley Richardson, the first of his four wives, and the couple moved to Paris, where he worked as aforeign correspondent. During his time there he met and was influenced by modernist writers and artists of the 1920s expatriate community known as the "Lost Generation". His first novel, The Sun Also Rises, was published in 1926.

After divorcing Hadley Richardson in 1927 Hemingway married Pauline Pfeiffer; they divorced following Hemingway's return from covering the Spanish Civil War, after which he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940, but he left her for Mary Welsh after World War II, during which he was present at D-Day and the liberation of Paris.

Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea in 1952 Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in a plane crash that left him in pain or ill-health for much of the rest of his life. Hemingway had permanent residences in Key West, Florida, and Cuba during the 1930s and '40s, but in 1959 he moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he committed suicide in the summer of 1961.

又找来《太阳照常升起来》读  很有意思 主人公身上带有很强烈的作者的影子 那些个性明显的标签 西班牙 记者生涯 战争创伤 拳击 当然少不了斗牛       hemingway被誉为是the lost generation的代表 书中自然能够感到一种迷失感  主人公jake barnes并不是激情昂扬 对生活充满热情的 相反 能从他的态度言语感受到他似有无奈的感情 因为战争的创伤 而不能与自己心爱的brett ashley结合在一起 当然 还有其他辅助衬托的人物角色 也能加重迷失无助感

然后引用维基上的一段

On the surface the novel is a love story between the hero Jake Barnes—a man whose war wound has made him impotent—and the sexually promiscuous divorcèe Lady Brett Ashley. Brett's earlier affair with Robert Cohn causes Jake to be upset and break off his friendship with Cohn; her seduction of the 19-year-old matador Pedro Romero in Pamplona causes Jake to lose his good reputation among the Spaniards. A roman à clef, the novel's characters are based on real people and the action on real events. The primary themes are the notion that the post-WWI generation was a 'lost generation', decadent and dissolute, irretrievably damaged by the war; death; renewal in nature; and living life purely, to the best of one's ability in an authentic manner.

我总认为读一本书 应该在心灵上获得启发 但这本书 则更像是一则记录 是hemingway对战后青年人包括他自己心灵成长康复的关注

通过资料 了解到他的iceberg theory 像是一切尽在不言中的感觉  

老爸很喜欢hemingway 其实这本书我小时候就看过 但几岁的小孩子能懂什么 所以就放在一边没读完 看完中译本 本来想在图书馆找本原文看 无奈蹲着找了半天 最后肚子疼还头晕 于是 暂时放弃~

无关的事 以前读过一篇文章 是说hemingway的小儿子 格里戈里做了变性手术 总之 结局很让人惋叹 以下是在网上找到的父子照片
