As far as I know, there was never a sequel, I would be interested to know what became of the surviving characters after the Spanish Civil War ended. Reading this work has inspired me to go back and re-read more of Hemingway's work. I have not seen the 1943 movie starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman but have a hard time imagining Bergman in the role of Maria, a dark-haired, dark-skinned, brown-eyed Spanish girl. Far be it from me though, the author of a single novel, to question the judgment of one of the great masters of modern literature. Perhaps someone can explain to me People who would have been speaking Spanish but translated into 16th century English instead of twentieth century English. In fact, both hotel rooms are now popular tourist destinations. Hemingway first started writing For Whom the Bell Tolls in Cuba and later finished it in Sun Valley, Idaho.
What I had forgotten about is the dialogue which, at times, reads like Shakespeare or the King James version of the Bible (thee, thou, thy, canst, doest) This I don't quite understand. Even the cities where he wrote his books are now places for pilgrimage among his most devoted fans. I now was able to approach Hemingway's work from the perspective of an author, not just as another assignment to be completed in sophomore English.Īs I tried to do in my own novel, Henry's Pride( the American Civil War), Hemingway portrays the brutal reality of war from the viewpoint of ordinary individual participants (in this case, partisans fighting against Franco's fascist army.) The characters are real, diverse, and dramatic each with both good points and flaws. It was the first time I had read it since college and I must say that I got a lot more out of it this time. The Sun Also Rises is a masterwork by Ernest Hemingway and a famous example of his simple yet powerful writing style.First of all, I did not read the "Sparks Notes", I read the entire unabridged book. Is The Sun Also Rises a good book to read?Ans. The plot revolves around a brief moment in the life of Santiago, a Cuban fisherman. It was Hemingway's final major fiction work released during his lifetime. It was composed in Cuba in 1951 and released the following year. 'The Old Man and the Sea' is often regarded as Hemingway's most remarkable novel.
