It is easy when you are beaten when he wrote the old man and the sea (1951), Hemingway was completely out of touch with the rest of the American society. Do you agree?
Earnest Miller Hemingway was born the second of six children in Oak Park, Illinois, on July 21, 1899. He was one of the most significant American authors of the Twentieth century.

Hemingway has moved to a completely unknown country of Cuba as an old immigrant and has settled there for a decade (1940-1950).Country of very different culture and tradition for America has gradually accepted Hemingway as one of them (Cuban) through his writings. Hemingway felt an instant connection with the Cuban people, and was inspired by many of his experiences while he was in Cuba and on the waters surrounding the island nation. The small country of Cuba has contributed so much in the writing of old man and the sea (Hemingway Cuba bio).

Hemingway might not the greatest American writer of the 20th century but however more than five decades after his death, he remains the single most influential American author of the past 100 years.
