Ernest hemingway the writer of the lost generation course work

2.2.Ernest Hemingway as a member of Lost Generation
 
Ernest Hemingway (1964), the first writer who popularizes the term Lost 
Generation in his novel The Sun Also Rises, was one of the privileged authors of 
this group of expatriates who immigrated to Paris. The Hemingways arrived in 
Paris in December 1921. Their first apartment in Paris was not luxury at all But it 
was a start for boheimian sort of life for the couple. In Paris, by the introduction 
of Sherwood Anderson, Hemingway (1964) met prominent expatriate literary 
figures like Gertrude Stien, Ezra Pound, Beach (1991), James Joyce and started 
a friendship with them. He also met painters and artistic figures like Picasso 
and Miro. In Paris, he started to work in a Translantic journal and it was 
there that he experimented his artistictheories and had them printed in a 
reputable magazine. In his shortstory collection In Our Time which contained 
The Big Two-HeartedRiver, Hemingway (1964) practiced his unique prose style 
which ismostly known for its iceberg technique.

In 1926, he published his first novel, The Sun Also Rises in which also 
introduced lost generation as a term to signify him and his expatriate friends as 
the generation after the First World War. Published in 1929, A Farewell to Arms 
one of his best works which won him the reputation after the successes, 
Hemingway (1964) had experienced subsequently by the publication of The Sun 
Also Rises.Much like his contemporaries, Hemingway's (1964) longing fortruth 
was significant; In his works, he tried to approach the truth abouthis identity. He 
believed that the writer’s job is, to tell the truth and ifhe could see himself clearly, 
his vision might be interesting for otherswho experienced life in the same

world. His personal life waschallenging and attractive for the public which 
made him one of themost famous modern novelists. Hemingway's (1964) 
accuracy of description and search for truth can be traced in his concise, 
economical prose style, which is broadly conceded to be his greatest contribution 
to literature. Hemingway's first two major novels, The Sun Also Rises and A 
Farewell to Arms, were chiefly descriptions of a group of people representing the 
society that had lost the values of love and belief. These two novels are filled 
with moods of infertility, boredom and decay. As a post-war writer of the 
lost generation, Hemingway portrayed his generation realistically with his unique 
styleof writing and techniques of report.
