Ernest Hemingway was more than a writer—he was a force of nature. Born in Oak Park, Illinois in 1899, he lived a life so full of adventure that his fiction often feels like an autobiography written at high speed. Before he turned 20, he had already volunteered as an ambulance driver in World War I, been wounded in Italy and fallen in love with a nurse. That brief romance inspired A Farewell to Arms, a novel that continues to break hearts nearly a century later.
