Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21; 1899 - July 2; 1961) was an American author and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction; while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s; and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.

He published seven novels; six short story collections; and two non-fiction works. Additional works; including three novels; four short story collections; and three non-fiction works; were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature.
