Abstract

Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899-1961) a famous American Nobel laureate (1954), is considered the master of art and literature not only of American Literature but also of world literature. The famous novel The Sun Also Rises is one of Hemingway’s major war novels that sets the flags for a generation that endured war and cultural disillusionment. In this novel Hemingway concentrates on the artificiality and desperation of the life bred by the First World War. It deals with the post-war disillusionment and moral disorder that left human being shattered. In its pervasive mood of cynicism and revolt with established values, the novel encompasses many themes starting from war to love and disillusionment from traditional values. The paper sets out to investigate major thematic aspects that are considered to the core of rhe novel The Sun Also Rises. It also tries to examine the effects of war on culture and people.
