Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) is one of the most popular and influential American writers of the twentieth century, famous, on the one hand, for his novels and stories, and, on the other, for his life of adventure and surprises. Hemingway’s literary reputation rests on the style of his prose, which he honed with great care.

In his first novel, “Fiesta (And the Sun Rises),” Hemingway illuminates the problems and pain of a lost generation, intertwining love and loss in the aftermath of World War I. The story centers on immigrants living in 1920s Paris: Jake Barnes, a veteran and journalist, and Brett Ashley, an English socialite. Together with the characters we travel from the raucous nightlife of Paris to the ruthless bullfighting arenas of Spain, immersing ourselves in the atmosphere of spiritual decay of society, moral bankruptcy and ghostly illusions.
