Ernest Hemingway: The Sun Also Rises. A Farewell to Arms!

A classic of American literature and a Nobel Prize laureate, Ernest Hemingway was and remains one of the most widely read authors in the world. This volume comprises his early works: the first two novels that brought the author wide acclaim—"The Sun Also Rises" and "A Farewell to Arms"—as well as the novella "The Torrents of Spring" and two short story collections—"In Our Time" and "Men Without Women".
Hemingway's creative style was formed in the 1920s: brevity, conciseness of narrative, an intolerance for pathos and sentimentality, while simultaneously featuring an elaborate motivic structure, lyrical subtext, and the most serious ethical questions. This style was influenced by both his work as a newspaper reporter and the First World War, in which the writer happened to participate.
Disillusionment with former ideals and the collapse of faith in progress and the possibility of changing the world for the better are the lot of those who have seen the unsightly cruelty of life. These themes permeate Hemingway's early prose, primarily the novel "The Sun Also Rises," whose characters belong to the so-called "lost generation": they have returned from the war and now seek to escape painful memories by plunging into the whirlwind of Parisian life. They crave new experiences and hunger for heartfelt human connection. They can only feel renewed and fully alive in those rare moments granted to them by selfless love and friendship.
The novel "A Farewell to Arms," the novella "The Torrents of Spring," as well as several short stories, are published in new translations.
