*The Sun Also Rises* is considered a defining work of the Lost Generation, a term that refers to a group of American writers who came of age during World War I and felt disillusioned by the war and its aftermath.
Hemingway's novel captures the spirit of this generation through its characters, who are alienated and searching for meaning in a world that seems to have lost its values.
Here are some key ways Hemingway introduced the Lost Generation:
* Themes: *The Sun Also Rises* explores themes of disillusionment, alienation, and the search for meaning, which were central to the Lost Generation experience.
* Characters: The novel features characters who are adrift and searching for purpose, reflecting the sense of displacement and aimlessness that many young people felt after the war.
* Style: Hemingway's minimalist prose and direct style became associated with the Lost Generation and its focus on honesty and directness.
While other authors like F. Scott Fitzgerald also wrote about the Lost Generation, Hemingway's *The Sun Also Rises* is often considered the quintessential work that introduced this generation to the world.
