Hemingway continually tried to enter the military, but his defective eye, hindered this task. Hemingway had managed to get a job driving an American Red Cross ambulance. During this expedition, he was injured and hospitalized. Hemingway had an affinity for a particular nurse at that hospital, her name was Agnes von Kurowsky.
Hemingway continually proposed to her, and she continually denied. When Hemingway healed his injuries, he moved back to Michigan, and had wanted to write again. Hemingway married Hadley Richardson and was working in France, as a foreign corespondent, for the ‘Toronto Star’. In 1925, he wrote a book called ‘In Our Time’, which was marketed in New York. The next year he published a book called ‘The Sun Also Rises’, a novel where he had his first success. The book deals with a group of desultory people in exile from France and Spain-members of the ‘lost generation’, a phrase made famous by Hemingway himself.

Based in Paris, he had travelled for skiing, bullfighting, fishing, or hunting that by then had become what most of his work was all about. Hemingway, started writing short stories, among them was ‘Men Without Women’ in 1927, and ‘A Farewell to Arms’ in 1929.

Hemingway was hedonistic and dedicated, in love with life and yet by his own admission obsessed with death.’ (Hemingway 221 (2) ) By 1960, Hemingway was driven out of Cuba (Because of Castro), and moved to Finca, and then he moved to a house in Ketchum, Idaho. Hemingway was suffering from severe depression, and anxiety attacks. He had gone to the mayo clinic inMassachusettes, to relieve electro-shock therapy, but it didn’t work out for him at all. Later that same year, Hemingway ended his life, with a shot gun.
