The Sun Also Rises: An Experiential Travelogue of the Twenties

Abstract

Ernest Hemingway is admittedly one of the most outstanding American writers of the twentieth century. The literary lion of the twenties, he has been a colourful personality all through his life. In the words of Archibald Macleish, he was “famous at twenty-five; thirty a master.” The Sun Also Rises, widely considered as Hemingway’s best novel, is a brilliant achievement in organizing post-war tensions, pressures, and situations. It offers a concentrated picture of the 1920s.
