E. Hemingway: "FIESTA : The Sun Also Rises".

Hello bookworms. I just finished Hemingway's "FIESTA: The Sun Also Rises". I have to admit one thing: this story made me a little sad. But I will tell you about my feelings during reading that book a little later.

In" The Sun Also Rises" Ernest Hemingway is taking us at the beginning for a trip to Paris in its twenties. He is opening in front of us the gates of World War ! generation; so called lost generation full of moral anesthesia, destructive illusions and unrealized love. The book introduces us two unforgettable main characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story line follows outrageous Ashley and unlucky Jake. At first it looks like it's a big romance between two of them. It seems like Jake is deeply in love, but what about Ashley?! You can't be so sure she is in love with him too. During their trip to Spain for Festival of San Fermin in Pamplona with few of expatriates, we can find out that Ashley is destructive not only to herself, but also to Jake. She had a thing with Jake, then she had fiance Michael, and it didn't stop her fall in love with another gentleman- very young , handsome bullfighter. After she couldn't find what she was looking for, she came back to Jake- eventually to take some support from him and tell him she wants Michael back. Sorry, I spoil a little, but I can't help it. That Lady Ashley was so destructive, undecided and she didn't even know what she was looking for. I can honestly say that she plays the role of a dark character in this novel. I feel sorry for Jake because in the end he realized that he will never possess the woman he truly loves. Most of a story line is placed in Spain, besides Paris at the beginning and mirrors Hemingway's passion for bullfighting.

While reading that book you can totally crush into world, where passionate love is being mixed with pain, self-destruction and brutality of the bullfighting. Everything is maintained in simple but mostly vicious realism, which is specific for Hemingway's writing manner. I ate that novel in few hours. I totally jumped into that passionate world. I experienced the storm of hard and different feelings while reading. I was so pissed with that Lady Ashley theme. I was angry, sometimes I was laughing but all the time I was touched by this story. Quietly I was hoping for a happy ending, but no- it mustn't end happily. This is exactly the way Hemingway was writing a masterpiece. You can experience a lot of different feelings, you can totally jump into characters mind, you can feel the pain, happiness, sadness; you can even dealing with consuming destruction with them. Personally, I couldn't find myself again after I finished the novel. It took me a while to stop thinking about poor Jake and to leave the world of french - spanish twenties, fiesta in Spain and bullfighting. This is what I call a masterpiece. Storm of emotions. No surprise other people said that "Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises" is his best novel. It really is.
