Ernest Hemingway's cult work depicts the post-war "lost generation" of the 1920s - "lost" people, disappointed and traumatized, as if suspended in constant waiting, unable to fully grasp life. They can feel truly alive only in rare moments of pure emotion, which they constantly strive to find. They try to forget their bitterness and despondency in alcohol and disorderly entertainment, seek relief on the streets of Paris at night, in nature in the Pyrenees, at bullfights in Pamplona. With short laconic strokes, which have become a sign of his style, Hemingway shows a fragile illusion of balance, an instinct of self-destruction that does not allow the characters' characters to unfold with all their might. All they have to do is celebrate while the fiesta lasts and hope for a new dawn each time.
