Ernest Hemingway is one of the main voices of the "lost generation" of the 1920s.
That generation sought relief from disappointment in emotions and new places.

In The Sun Also Rises Hemingway shows this generation in romanticized Spain: the bright scorching sun, long walks through the streets, beautiful sunsets, bullfighting.

The Soviet historian Sergo Mikoyan, having met Hemingway in Cuba, wrote the following about the author, “He is a great artist, a realist and at the same time a romantic.
The ability to brilliantly combine exciting romance (without which there are no revolutions) with real realism (which should explain why revolutions occur) is, apparently, his individuality as a writer.
Having met him, you involuntarily discover that the literary “I” of this modern classic fully corresponds to the appearance of Hemingway himself - a sincere, fair man with a gray beard, but with a youthful ability to get carried away and enjoy life, even if life pleases very few”.
