Ex. 10. Retell the text.
Ernest Hemingway
ACROSS MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY, the life and work of Ernest Hemingway have been at the center of a critical controversy. For that, Hemingway himself was largely responsible. From the moment he embarked upon his career as a writer, he presented himself to the world as a man's man, and in both his published work and his very public behavior he established a heroic image of himself as an athlete and sportsman, a worldly-wise reporter and a battlescarred soldier. As his fame grew, his self-dramatizations hardened into myth, for he had tapped into the twentieth century's enormous nostalgia for the manly virtues of earlier times.
