He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing and his writing reflected this. His international reputation was firmly secured by his next three books Fiesta, Men Without Women and A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway's first two published works were Three Stories and Ten Poems and In Our Time but it was the satirical novel, The Torrents of Spring, that established his name more widely. Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style. He settled in Paris where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein.
In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services.
In 1917, Hemingway joined the Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. Their home was at Oak Park, a Chicago suburb. His father was a doctor and he was the second of six children.
