The Typewriter of Hemingway

Economy and understatement: that was the style of Hemingway. And, through his cult of courage, his taste for adventure, an acceptance of the possibility of fantastic. His economic style puts a restraint to fantastic, a balance.

I read his Farewell to Arms long time ago; my English was still very poor, and I was able to read it easily, without the help of a dictionary.
