My Inspiration
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.
Hemingway’s early bestsellers, A Farewell to Arms and The Sun Also Rises, reflected his experiences as an injured soldier in the First World War and his place in the intelligentsia of Paris in the 1920s. Even as a young man, he was an established and respected writer. His life would go on to prove that he was a man of many parts.
