The book Ernest Hemingway and his world was written by Anthony Burgess and it was published in 1978 by Charles Scribners Sons. Its main concept is about the life of Ernest Hemingway and how he differed from his fellow writers in being a very strong man of action.There are many settings in the book because Ernest Hemingway was a man who traveled all his life to all of the United States, Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and several other places. The author describes what Hemingway would do in each of these places and what the consequences caused by his actions were.The first setting is in Oak Park Illinois, this is where Ernest Hemingway is born on July 21, 1899. When he grows up, Ernest goes to war in Europe and after that he comes back and moves to Chicago, which is where he marries
Burgess apparently wants the public to see how Hemingway lived an adventurous life and even though he always looked and acted very manly, he had a very confusing life and this probably explains why he didn't fear death, especially his own. The main character of the book experiences many of the same situations Hemingway faced. At his last home in Ketchum, Idaho, on a Sunday morning on July 2, 1961, Ernest Miller Hemingway commits suicide. After they get married, they move to Canada where Hemingway's son is born. The author lets us know how Hemingway's heart is broken when a nurse he falls in love with, rejects him for another man. Some of these similarities are exact while some are less similar, and some events have a completely different outcome. He would do this just to create a ruckus. In 1953 he goes to a safari in Africa and has a serious accident, which leaves him ill for the rest of his days. He also compares how Ernest takes much of his storyline from his novel, A Farewell to Arms, from his personal experiences. It is shown how Ernest is always treated by as a baby by his mom and how he never forgives her for his humiliation. I think that Anthony Burgess does a good job in this biography because he lets the public see all the details of Ernest Hemingway's success and failures. The author shows all the main conflicts that Hemingway goes through.
