Hemingway spent his childhood hunting and fishing with his father, and playing cello to indulge his mother. He was 18 when he decided to join the army and went to Italy to be an ambulance driver.
There, Hemingway met a lifelong friend Dos Passos and had his first encounter with wartime experience, which would inspire much of his literary work. During his time in Italy, he got injured by mortar fire and spent 6 months in hospital.
After the war, Hemingway spent some time in Toronto and Chicago, where he met his first wife Hadley. With Hadley, he left for Paris and worked as a correspondent for Toronto Star. There, he met a lot of his contemporary artists which influenced his way of perceiving society.
He was often visiting Spain, where he fell in love with bullfighting, and upon return to United States, Hemingway was boating in the Caribbean and developed a habit of heavy drinking.
WWII came, and Hemingway got involved in the battle as a correspondent. After the war, he was at his estate in Cuba, where he started suffering from depression. His health slowly deteriorated and he ended up committing suicide like his father.
During his life, Ernest Hemingway suffered from many illnesses and injuries and had 4 wives.
