During his 62 years of life from 1899 to 1961, Hemingway wrote about 30 books, including posthumous manuscripts. He wrote and published books of almost all genres. He wrote novels, essays, and nonfiction, and there were plays and poems such as [Cap. 5]. About 10 of them were made into movies in Hollywood, and the feature novel [The Sun Rises Again] [Farewell, Weapon] [For Whom the Bell Rings] became a global bestseller.
[The Sun Rises Again] popularized the term "lost generation," and [Dead of the Afternoon] became a classic in the field for the world's first research on bullfighting. [The Old Man and the Sea] received the Pulitzer and Nobel Prize for Literature. Many of his works make it onto the list of world masterpieces. His novel aesthetics, such as hardboiled style and iceberg theory, are his best legacies.
The taste of what a person eats and drinks reveals their class and social status. If he eats foie gras or snail dishes every day at La Closry de Lilla, a cafe that used to be a regular in Hemingway, he is at least not a poor person or a lower class. On the other hand, if he eats the pieces of bread in a hurry before the meal, he will not be a wealthy or upper-class person. Many writers reveal a character's economic situation, position, and class by the question of what they eat and drink. However, Hemingway's expressions of eating and drinking are far from the intention of revealing the character's backside.
It seemed his pleasure to describe what he drank and ate. While writing the part where the character ate and drank, he expected that he would empathize and feel pleasure as if he were doing the act. Regardless of his characters' circumstances, they are delicate when making martinis, and they are very picky when choosing bread and chicken to fill their stomachs. Whether it is a poor bang or a rich man, he acts seriously like a person holding a big event when sitting at a table.
Remarkably sensual foodies and alcoholism may be an example of a debunked argument from his emphasis on writing eerily truthful sentences. As a result of trying to bring simple sentences describing drinking wine and chewing bread to life, they came up with the most luscious ones.
[The sun rises again] was famous for the term "lost generation." However, the most essential expression in the novel is "defector of the homeland." "Defector of the Homeland" is like a Hemingway adaptation of "Lost Generation." Perhaps "defector of the homeland" found a better word than "Lost Generation."
I think "Defector of the World" has a more precise meaning and reflects Hemingway's intention, but literary works are not necessarily read as the writer intended. It was his intention. Anyway, "The Lost Generation" was widely known as what he said and became the name of the generation that defined him and his generation. If you think about the meaning, it is not necessarily wrong. There is no better explanation for young writers in Paris in the 1920s than "The Lost Generation."
