Hemingway, Ernest. Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises / E. Hemingway. – London : Arrow Books, 2004. – 218 p.

 

Powerful, intense and magnificent, Fiesta is the novel which established Ernest Hemingway as a writer of genius, and set him on the way to being one of the greatest literary novelists of the twentieth century. The novel is a roman à clef: the characters are based on real people in Hemingway's circle, and the action is based on real events. Hemingway presents his notion that the "Lost Generation"– considered to have been decadent, dissolute, and irretrievably damaged by World War I – was in fact resilient and strong. Hemingway investigates the themes of love and death, the revivifying power of nature, and the concept of masculinity.

Woolf, Virginia. Jacob’s Room / V. Woolf. – London : Collins Classics, 2013. – 210 p. – (Collins Classics).

 

Jacob’s Room, Virginia Woolf’s third novel, marks her first foray into Modernist experimentation. The narrative traces Jacob’s childhood in Cornwall and his education at Cambridge, culminating in an evocative portrait of his adult life in London and abroad. Woolf poignantly depicts the life of Jacob through a sequence of alternating perspectives that combine letters, fragments of dialogue and the ephemeral impressions of those nearest to him. Jacob’s voice becomes the absent centre of one of Modernism’s first great novels.
