Hemingway early grasped the dangers of Fascism and wrote scathingly of the Italian dictator whom he disliked immediately.
Hemingway also covered the international events of this decade and met world statesmen, such as Lloyd George, Clemenceau, and Mussolini. His penchant for action was stimulated by his covering of the Greco-Turkish War, and the Greek retreat from Smyrna may be an antecedent for the Italian debacle of Caporetto, portrayed in A Farewell To Arms. He fell in love with Spain, which figures so prominently in his writings, during the twenties. In 1921 he returned to Europe and traveled widely throughout the continent.
Hemingway worked for the “Toronto Star” and “Star Weekly” from 1920 until 1924. He married Hadley Richardson in 1921 but they were divorced in 1927 although he dedicated The Sun Also Rises to her in the previous year and in 1927 he married Pauline Pfeiffer. His portrait of the expatriates in Paris and Spain in The Sun Also Rises is based on his own manifold contacts during the twenties. Hemingway's restlessness in the period between the end of World War I and the publication of A Farewell To Arms becomes apparent in his many and varied activities during these ten years. Illustration not visible in this excerpt 2.3 The Twenties In The Sun Also Rises, Jake Barnes, the hero, also somewhat resembles Hemingway in his military service. These experiences are vividly reflected in A Farewell To Arms in his hero, Frederic Henry, the depiction of war at close hand, and the whole attitude of Hemingway towards war and men at war. Two medals were awarded Hemingway by the Italian Government for his bravery during World War I. He underwent twelve operations for removal of two hundred or so fragments of mortar shell but returned to the war as an infantry officer with the Italian Army. He witnessed a munitions explosion in Milan upon his arrival, and on July 8, 1918, just before his nineteenth birthday, he was severely wounded. After leaving his job as a reporter on the “Kansas City Star” to join the ambulance corps in Italy, he was abruptly and brutally introduced to the facts of war. Hemingway's experiences in World War I fashioned much of his personal and literary outlook for the rest of his life.

Nevertheless, he was accepted as an ambulance driver on the Italian front in early 1918. He immediately volunteered but was rejected because of an eye injury. Although he ran away from home twice, and worked at a number of odd jobs, the young Hemingway saw his chance at escape from family and small-town pressures only when the United States entered World War I in 1917.

However, tensions evidently existed between the parents. Summers were spent outdoors in northern Michigan at a family camp. As the second of six children, Hemingway led a normal, active life of a schoolboy: although not especially popular, he took part in sports, debates, the school orchestra, wrote for and edited the school newspaper.

In a last step we are going to concentrate on an analysis of the characters featuring in The Sun Also Rises. Secondly, we are going to focus on the First Book of The Sun Also Rises, describing Paris at that time and discussing the term “Lost Generation” and the relation to World War I. Therefore we first of all present a flashback on Hemingway’s life and works - with special regard to the time he spent in Paris - by providing both a biography and a survey of works by and about him.
