Fiesta. Farewell to Arms!
19.99 €
A classic of American literature, Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway was and remains one of the most widely read authors in the world. This volume consists of his early works: his first two novels, which brought the author wide fame, "The Sun Also Rises" and "A Farewell to Arms!", as well as the novella "Spring Waters" and two collections of short stories - "In Our Time" and "Men Without Women".
Hemingway's creative style was formed in the 1920s: conciseness, laconicism of the narrative, intolerance of pathos and sentimentality - and at the same time an expanded motivic structure, lyrical subtext, and serious ethical questions. The formation of this style was influenced by both his work as a newspaper reporter and the First World War, in which the writer had the opportunity to take part. Disappointment in former ideals, the collapse of faith in progress, in the possibility of changing the world for the better - this is the lot of those who have seen the unsightly cruelty of life. These motives permeate Hemingway's early prose, and first of all the novel "Fiesta", whose heroes belong to the so-called "lost generation": they returned from the war and now strive to escape from painful memories, plunging into the whirlpool of Parisian life. They experience a thirst for new impressions and a hunger for heartfelt human communication. They can feel renewed, fully alive only in those rare moments that selfless love and friendship grant them.
The novel "Farewell to Arms!", the story "Spring Waters", as well as some short stories are published in new translations.
