This book is about the works of E. Hemingway, who, during the ideological and spiritual crises of the century, found a deep basis for creativity: folk, folklore and mythological ideas, cultural traditions that have developed over centuries and were carefully preserved by humanity. They are the basis of the subtext of such stories and novels as “In Our Time,” “The Sun Also Rises,” “A Farewell to Arms!” The writer also saw something else, the most terrible thing - how people’s consciousness is manipulated, emasculated, adapting it to political momentary interests. Not only saw, but also showed in many works - stories, novels, such as “To Have and Have Not”, “For Whom the Bell Tolls”. But how everything was transformed into an art form - read about it in the book you are holding in your hands
