Abstract:Ernest Hemingway, as an outstanding modern American writer, has presented to his readers an overview of the particular generation after World War I. Journeys to Spain to watch bullfighting and to report on the civil war, hunting expeditions in Africa, fishing in the Caribbean, experiences on special missions and as war correspondent during World War II constitute Hemingway’s colorful life. The Sun Also Rises (1926), his first successful novel, brilliantly captures his years in Paris as one of the “lost generation”. As the leading spokesman for the “lost generation”, he expressed the feelings of a war-wounded people disillusioned by the loss of faith and hope, and so thoroughly defeated by the collapse of former values. The story tells of the moral collapse of a group of expatriated Americans and Englishmen, broken by the war, who turn toward escape through all possible violent diversions. 

 By recording an episode of life of several American expatriates represented by Jake Barnes, Hemingway reveals the human condition emasculated by war and threatened by nada. By analyzing episodes of the hero and the heroine who suffered from World War I, Jack Barnes who wounded in the war, and Brett Ashley who lost her husband in the war, Hemingway shows the theme of spiritual wasteland. Although Jake and Brett loved each other, they could not get married for Jack’s physical problem. What the war has affected was not only their life, but also their former beliefs. They became wandering pointlessly and restlessly, enjoying things like fishing, swimming, bullfights, and beauties of nature, believing that the world is crazy and meaningless and futile. Their whole life is undercut and defeated. They are living in nothingness.
