Description

Ernest Hemingway’s famous novel “The Sun Also Rises (Fiesta)” is considered by many to be the best work of the American writer. The book is published in the translation by Jurka Haŭruk, which was first published in Belarusian back in 1976.

Today, after Russia’s attack on Ukraine, reading Hemingway becomes relevant again. His tough, courageous prose with pacifist passion tells the story of the post-war “lost generation”, young people’s search for themselves in the new reality, where all their former ideals and dreams have been destroyed.

The novel “The Sun Also Rises” (also known as “Fiesta”), first published in 1926, was written by Hemingway in a few months and at the same time made him famous. The work is based on real events from the author’s life – his visit to a bullfight in Pamplona in 1925.

The main characters of the novel – young people who participated in the bloody battles of the First World War, who were severely wounded and lost their former life values and reference points. They went down in history as a cynical and disillusioned “lost generation”.

Hemingway describes the disorientation of this generation in sparing prose, devoid of sentimentality and flowery expressions. The author’s famous “telegraphic” style is clearly visible here. The writer almost does not reveal the inner world of the main characters of the novel. Withholding key details of their mental and emotional state, Hemingway conveys the fundamental emptiness of immigrant life.
