Fans for Ernest Hemingway's :Is his best books 'For Whom the Bell Tolls?

Answer 1

I always loved "The Sun Also Rises" because every time I read it, I can identify with it in a different way. To me all the characters exhibit different parts of the human condition and every person emulates them at least a few times in their life depending where they are at x point in time. I have a half dozen books that are nothing but essays on the novel and know it very well.

Overall, Hemingway's literature doesn't do it for me like most of the other Lost Generation authors like Fitzgerald, Dreiser, etc, but "The Sun Also Rises" is ultimately, my favorite book of all time. It goes against the machismo that characterize many of his books and really makes him seem vulnerable in my mind.
