With the possible exceptions of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, Cuba has had no more famous former resident than the Nobel winning author Ernest Hemingway. The hard drinking, womanizing, American author of masterpieces such as For Whom the Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms fell in love with Cuba after visiting it several times, and he lived on Cuba from 1940 until 1960, shortly before his death. Known affectionately as "Ernesto" or "Papa", Hemingway is still beloved by the Cuban people.
