     Ernest Hemingway was a man of intrigue.  To learn of his intellect, talent and skill, you must read his novels, but to learn about his life and adventures you must probe further.  Some of his novels were about his life, but they do not tell all of the story.  He went from almost losing his life several times, to being involved in bull fighting, to moving all around the world and being married four times.  He was a lover, fighter and great writer.  Ernest Hemingway was a legend and should be remembered always, not just for his novels, but also for his life.

The x-rays taken later showed a machine gun slug in his right foot and one behind his kneecap.  Doctors removed 227 pieces of metal fragments from his legs and left several in.  While he was recovering in Italy, Ernest wrote a short story “In Another Country” that tells of his rehabilitation (Baker 45).
