Side-by-side comparison of two thinkers
Khaled Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini or Khalid Husseini is an Afghan and American novelist, UNHCR goodwill ambassador, and former physician.

Ernest Hemingway
1899 – 1961
Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer and journalist. Known for an economical, understated style that influenced later 20th-century writers, he has been romanticized for his adventurous lifestyle and outspoken, blunt public image. Some of his seven novels, six short-story collections and two non-fiction works have become classics of American literature, and he was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature.
