Ernest Hemmingway
Born and raised in the conservative suburbs of Illinois, Ernest Hemingway was working as a sports journalist for the Kansas City Star when World War 1 broke out in 1914.

His work is inspired by his experiences during World War 1 including being terribly injured in Italy, his relationships with women, and his adventurous lifestyle.(2 ) Hemmingway had three sons and four wives throughout his lifetime.
