    Farewell to Arms.
    Hemingway returned to Chicago in 1919 and then went to Toronto, Canada, where he
    worked for the Toronto Star. Two years later, he was appointed to the Star’s international news

    Africa. Drawing on the experiences of these African trips, he wrote The Green Hills of Africa, a

    Happy Life of Francis Macomber. It is for his short stories rather than his other works that
    Hemingway has received some of his highest praise.
