In 1917 he went to Italy with a volunteer ambulance unit, then fought as a soldier in the Italian army, and was badly wounded. This experience in World War I gave him material for many of his short stories and some of his novels, including The Sun also Rises (1926) and A Farwell to Arms (1929). During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), he went to Spain as a journalist, experiences there provided material for one of his best novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). In 1952, he published his masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea. In 1954, he was awarded the highest prize a writer can receive, the Nobel Prize for Literature. b.

On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0 o and its boiling point 100 o . To convert a temperature reading in degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and then multiply by 5/9. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 9/5 and then add 32. The conversion formulas for these are: Fahrenheit to Celsius: C= 5/9 (F-32) Celsius to Fahrenheit: F= 9/5 (C+32)1.
