The Old Man and the Sea

The Sun Also Rises
A Farewell To Arms
Oh yes...he was once a Red Cross ambulance driver.
But basically his "contributions" were of a literary nature.

By writing novels, articles and short stories, he entertained, enlightened and stimulated people's minds, which is a good thing in itself. By striving for excellence, he challenged other people to do better, which is a great thing. He set a good example for others in many ways.

He wrote some wonderful novels and short stories as well. If you read his short novel: The Old Man and the Sea you will find how inspiring his words are.

He wrote some good books and short stories and he tried to take up causes that were not necessarily his to fight. He fancied himself a soldier or fortune.
