Essay on The Sun Also Rises, Fiesta by Earnest Hemingway
„I was seriously injured in the I. ... ” – said Hemingway to one of his friends, somewhere, after the II. ... „My soul, my body and my morals were also injured.”
Hemingway can be considered, as the leader of the so called Lost Generation, which consisted of many American intellectuals, poets, writers and artists, like Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Cummings, Sherwood Anderson and many more. ...
Hemingway presents to the reader of the Fiesta, very clearly and logically, the different stages of this outcasted and in an other sense, this self-destructing lifestyle, which is a model of his own life. ... Here we can clearly observe some references to Hemingway’s own life, who was actually injured in the war too. As far as the story considered, which symbolises the lost generation’s way of life, we don’t have to be surprised that a lot of things in the novel were taken from Hemingway’s real life. ...

They earned a lot of money from writings and books and also they got money from America. ... Lets take for example Jake who was a journalist in Paris and who has got a considerable bank account from America, or Robert Cohn, whose father was a rich jewish or even Mike, whose life was a little bit insecure, because of lack of money, on the other hand, from the book we can clearly see that he also wonders from pubs to cafes and doesn’t save money at all, moreover he lives from loans.
