ERNEST HEMINGWAY
AMERICAN WRITER
Born in Illinois in 1899.Died in Idaho in 1961.Notable works:A Farewell to Arms (1929), early Modernist novelFor Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), war novelThe Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway (1987), posthumous collectionErnest Hemingway is regarded as one of the first, most influential American Modernists. Between 1920 and the mid-1950s, he published seven novels, six short story collections and two works of non-fiction. Hemingway won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 for his last major work of fiction, The Old Man and the Sea (1952), and in 1954 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Hemingway is remembered for developing the ‘iceberg theory’, an economical, minimalist style alternatively known as the ‘theory of omission’. As he writes in Death in the Afternoon (1932), “the dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water” (1999: 154). By focusing on surface elements of the story (just “one-eighth”), Hemingway believed that the underlying significance of the narrative could shine through more poignantly and powerfully, despite not being obviously referred to. As Hemingway’s iceberg style aims to capture the truth, his novels are considered to be works of realism. Thematically, Hemingway often uses a setting of conflict to examine human love, lust, fear, loss, guilt and betrayal.
FIESTA: THE SUN ALSO RISES
EARLY MODERNIST NOVEL
Genre: novelReference edition: Hemingway, E. (2004) Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises. London: Arrow Books.1stedition: 1926Themes: love, conflict, realism, masculinity, anti-Semitism, women, powerFiesta: The Sun Also Rises (published as The Sun Also Rises in the United States and Fiesta in England) is a novel about a group of American and British expatriates living in Paris after World War One. We follow the story of an American journalist named Jake Barnes, who is in love with a divorced British woman named Lady Brett Ashley. Brett and Jake agree that although they are in love, they cannot be together. Through Jake, we are also introduced to his friend Robert Cohn, an American writer, Brett’s fiancé Mike Campbell and Bill Gordon. The main action of the novel occurs when the party decides to go away to Spain in order to go fishing and to watch the Pamplona bull-running fiesta. Whilst in Spain, Brett becomes the object of Cohn’s unreciprocated obsession, as she starts an affair with a 19-year-old bullfighter named Pedro Romero. As new romances blossom, Jake is forced to accept that he will never be happily with the woman he loves. In this way, Hemingway’s novel examines how lonely, lovesick individuals search for a meaningful place within a post-war world.
