After the First World War, Hemingway has long haunted the nightmares, and he could not sleep in the dark.

When Ernest met his last wife, Mary, she was already married. Husband of Mary, Monks, did not give a divorce, and then one day he put the photo Monks in the toilet and began to shoot at his photos.

However, July 2, 1961, and rose up early in the morning, while his wife was still asleep, Hemingway went into the vestibule of his house, took a shotgun from the cabinet, loaded it and shot himself.
Friends and relatives of the writer know that in recent years he was no longer himself. He sank into a deep depression and paranoia about surveillance.
