Features: Reading an excellent biography can have a lifelong impact on you. Hemingway (1899-1961) was once obsessed with war but war left him bewildered. He demanded to be a tough guy yet often felt vulnerable. Only literature was his eternal love. He spent his life pursuing it, and when his Muse left, his life ended too. His works were great because they were born from his life. Reading a good biography can influence a person's entire life. The "World Great Figures Series" edited and published by China Youth and Children's Publishing House is a large-scale biography series specially prepared for young readers.
