In 1921, the Toronto Star sent Hemingway to Europe as a

journalist writer. While in Paris he published two books. The

Sun

Also Rises was published in 1926 and was his first novel

and

enjoyed hunting, fishing, and watching bullfights. These

and not

be afraid of danger. Hemingway became depressed during

the last years of his life, and shot and killed himself in 1961. (Jones
