Hemingways Novels

In the mountains he finds the dangers and the intense comradeship of war - and he discovers Maria, a young woman who has escaped from Franco's rebels. She has serious difficulty in labor. Realizing that the war no longer matters to him, he rejoins Catherine; to avoid arrest, they escape to neutral Switzerland in a small boat. In an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions, this is the Lost Generation. Robert Jordan, a young American volunteer, has been sent from the Republic to handle the dynamiting. This poignantly beautiful story of a group of American and English expatriates in Paris on an excursion to Pamplona represents a dramatic step forward for Hemingway's evolving style.

Out of all 3 selections of books I think that “For whom the bell Tolls” will be the one I want to read. Featuring Left Bank Paris in the 1920s and brutally realistic descriptions of bullfighting in Spain, the story is about the flamboyant Lady Brett Ashley and the hapless Jake Barnes.

The Sun Also Rises

The Sun Also Rises was Ernest Hemingway's first big novel, and immediately established Hemingway as one of the great prose stylists, and one of the preeminent writers of his time. It is also the book that encapsulates the angst of the post-World War I generation, known as the Lost Generation. Frederic is left alone, with the realization that one is always 'trapped', that his search for happiness has been doomed by the nature of life. a military patrol and about to be shot for desertion as an officer when he escapes by jumping into a river.
