Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) and Albert Camus (1913–1960) were influential writers of the 20th century, each contributing significantly to literature with their distinctive styles and philosophical explorations. While they came from different cultural backgrounds, Hemingway being American and Camus French Algerian, and their writing styles were distinct, there are interesting points of comparison: Ernest Hemingway and Albert Camus, share thematic parallelism in their novels, particularly in their exploration of existentialism, the human condition, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. Hemingway is known for his concise and economical writing style. He often employs short sentences and straightforward language. His prose is characterized by a focus on action, a strong sense of realism, and a sparse use of adjectives. Whereas Camus's writing is often philosophical and existential. He incorporates elements of absurdism, a philosophy that confronts the inherent meaninglessness of the universe. His works are characterized by introspection and a deep exploration of the human psyche. Hemingway's works often explore themes of masculinity, courage, and the human response to violence and war. His characters, often referred to as the "Hemingway heroes," embody stoicism and grace under pressure. On the other hand, Camus's works delve into themes of absurdity, existentialism, and the search for meaning in an indifferent world. His characters often grapple with the tension between the desire for significance and the apparent lack of inherent meaning in life
