They say surrounding yourself with great minds is one of the best ways to motivate yourself. Maybe that's why Ernest Hemingway's first collection of writings were produced in the 1920s while he was in the company of such talented writers as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, and Ezra Pound (via History). Living in a beautiful city like Paris, France must have also offered a huge heaping of inspiration that got the words flowing. His debut novel, "The Sun Also Rises," was produced during this time in the writer's life.
Goodreads calls his first novel "the quintessential novel of the Lost Generation." It's also among the first to employ Hemingway's "iceberg theory." Published in 1926, the young writer's powerful yet eloquent writing style in "The Sun Also Rises" took the literary world by storm. After World War I, a bloody war which Hemingway himself participated in, many people were left in a state of disillusionment.
Hemingway captured this feeling perfectly in "The Sun Also Rises." His novel takes readers through a European adventure that features thrilling romance, Parisian parties, intense bullfights, and hints of existentialism. This is a great read for anyone with an interest in the postwar world during the 1920s.
