Today marks the 125th anniversary of the birth of the popular American writer Ernest Hemingway. His literary style greatly influenced twentieth-century prose. Hemingway wrote most of his novels and short stories between the 1920s and 1950s. He has published seven novels, six collections of short stories, and two works of non-fiction.

In 1954, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature "for his mastery of the art of storytelling, most recently demonstrated in The Old Man and the Sea, and for the influence he has had on modern literary style." A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea, The Sun Also Rises (Fiesta) and other books have been translated into Armenian. From July 22, an exhibition dedicated to the creative life of Hemingway will be open for a month in the large exhibition hall of the National Library of Armenia.
