Newspapers and magazines play a
very important part in our life. Practically there is no family that does not
readthem. We can learn many things from newspapers. Perhaps that is why many
years ago an American humorous writer said: "All I know is what I see in the
papers";and another American author more than half a century ago wrote that "the
careful reader of a few good newspapers can learn more in a year than
mostscientists do in their great libraries". We can agree or disagree with
these statements (better to disagree, because scientific books and magazines
havemore information than newspapers), but we'll have to say that newspapers
help us in many ways. There are a lot of different kinds of newspapers in
ourcountry. One can buy them practically everywhere. It is impossible to read
all the newspapers and magazines. Everyone has favourite ones. My
favourite newspaper is "Komsomolskaya Pravda". We can read almost about
everything in this newspaper.There are articles dealing with home and abroad
news, sport events, life of favourite actors and singers and even the weather.
We can find many interestingthings there. We can read some useful pieces of
advice, some stories about our life, and so on. There are puzzles, songs and
even anecdotes there. "KomsomolskayaPravda" is one of the most interesting
newspapers, to my mind. My favourite
writer is Ernest Hemingway. He will al-ways be remembered as a writer of prose
in which everyword had meaning and where nothing was wasted. His style had, in
fact, such a widespread effect on British and American literature that dozens of
imitatorsappeared and today many novels are accused of being "pseudo-
Hemingway". The son of a small-town doctor, Hemingway was born in Illinois
in 1898. He gained from his father an early loveof fishing and shooting,
interests which were to colour his life andwork. Hemingway was educated at
schools in America and France. His father wanted himto be a doctor, but he
became a newspaper reporter, and then served with the Italian Red Cross as an
ambulance driver in World War 1. Severely wounded in the fighting,
Hemingway used this, as well as his boyhood experiences, as the material forhis
first books. In "A Farewell to Arms", "For Whome the Bell Tolls" and "The Old
Man and the Sea" he wrote three classics of 20th century literature. "A
Farewell to Arms" is a powerful anti-war story, but it remains a love-story,
telling of the ill-fated romancebetween Frederic Henry, a young American serving
as a volunteer in the Italian army, and Catherine Barkley, a British nurse.
Frederic gradually decides to getout of the war and make a separate peace. He
and his wife manage to get to neutral Switzerland where they are happy for a
time. But the ending is tragic,for Catherine dies. This novel shows Hemingway's
hatred of the world that "kills the very good and the very gentle and the very
brave impartially". It isvery sad, but very interesting and very important. It
is my favourite book.
