Synopsis

In 'The Sun Also Rises,' Ernest Hemingway encapsulates the disillusionment of the post-World War I Lost Generation through the lens of expatriate characters navigating the vibrant yet melancholic landscapes of Europe. Written in Hemingway's distinctive terse prose, the novel features a stunning blend of realism and existential reflection, as it follows the lives of American and British expatriates in Paris and their subsequent journey to the Pamplona bullfights. The narrative, rich with symbolic imagery and understated emotional complexity, serves as a commentary on the search for meaning amidst the chaos of modernity and personal despair. Ernest Hemingway, an iconic figure in 20th-century literature, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a journalist and expatriate. Having witnessed the ravages of war firsthand, he skillfully channels these themes of loss and uncertainty into the lives of his characters, who grapple with their identities and values in a rapidly changing world. His keen insights into human nature and relationships define his literary legacy and profoundly resonate in this novel. This seminal work is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of love, loss, and identity in a fractured age.

Country of the Blind The...

H. G. Wells

'The Country of the Blind' is the strange story of a mountain guide who accidently falls off a cliff ledge in the Andes. He survives the fall unhurt, and finds himself in a remote valley where a tribe lives completely cut off from the rest of the world. A hereditary illness has meant that for 15 generations all the members of the tribe have been born blind. As a result, they now have a highly evolved sense of hearing, scent and touch. 'In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king,' thinks the mountaineer. But he finds that the gift of sight is far less useful or appreciated that he had expected in the country of the blind.

The Field Bazaar

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Field Bazaar is a short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published on November 20, 1896 in a special "Bazaar Number" of The Student, a publication of the students' representative council at Edinburgh University. It is a Sherlock Holmes story, published under Conan Doyle's byline and featuring both Holmes and his partner, Dr. John Watson. It is, however, treated by most experts as a parody or pastiche not suitable for inclusion in the traditional 60-story canon of Sherlock Holmes, though there are dissenters.Watson narrates "The Field Bazaar"—which mirrors the reality of Conan Doyle's gift of the story to The Student—from a first-person perspective.The story opens with Holmes and Watson at breakfast in the sitting-room of their residence at 221B Baker Street. Holmes infers from a handful of clues that an envelope Watson is holding contains an invitation to "help in the Edinburgh University Bazaar." He then concludes, to Watson's astonishment, "that the particular help which you have been asked to give was that you should write in their album, and that you have already made up your mind that the present incident will be the subject of your article." Holmes then returns to reading his morning newspaper.
